This was on UK TV late last night. I'd not heard of it before, but it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Good interviews with Hooper / Romero et al. It was definitely worth staying up for.
And I'd forgotten all about Cronenburg's 'Shivers' - I'll have to go hunting for that one now.
It also put a whole new context on Night of the Living Dead for me. I mean, I've always been aware of how much of a landmark film this was, but what I didn't get was how real this looked back then - shot in the style of a newsreel, almost an homage to 'War of the Worlds'. Very informative.
