Night of the Living Dead (1968): Modern Horror in Postmodern America (VoT no. 4)

"Visions of Tomorrow" is a series where I review science fiction movies of the past. OK, this is a longer one, but worth it. I take a deep dive on a favorite of mine, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I analyze some of themes of the movie, focusing on politics and race. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
