　　首先,让我们回到45年前的1968年.这部电影由名为《我是传奇》的科幻小说改编而成,故事一对兄妹来到乡下给父亲扫墓,却遭受一系列怪异的袭击.之后,妹妹躲进了一间农舍避难,但很快房子就被一群活死人（后被称作僵尸）包围.乔治·A·罗梅罗的影片《活死人之夜》在上映之初因其恐怖的场面饱受非议,后来被视为一部成功的影片,是对社会的批判.接着,这位导演继续创作了这一系列电影的另外五部,均反映了当代社会人们的担忧、消费主义或经济分工问题.对于我而言,恐惧是打乱生活安排的始作俑者.我觉得,到最后人们总是能自我恢复,但我们并不想这样,我们想让这种不安感延续下去.因此,《活死人之夜》其实是一部悲剧.整部影片充斥着误解,以及面对灾难做出愚蠢行为的人.全世界的死人都活过来了.他们根本没有想办法去解决问题,反而只关心自己鸡毛蒜皮的小事.
