Description
George Romero s name may be synonymous with the living dead subgenre, but his filmography is far richer and more varied than his reputation as the zombie guy would suggest. Following the breakout success of his debut feature Night of the Living Dead, the director would embark upon a series of projects which demonstrate a master filmmaker with more than mere gut-munching on his mind.In There s Always Vanilla, young drifter Chris and beautiful model Lynn embark upon a tumultuous relationship which seems doomed from the outset. Season of the Witch (released theatrically as Hungry Wives) follows the exploits of Joan Mitchell a housewife who seeks to escape the confines of her humdrum suburban existence through a flirtation with witchcraft. Lastly, The Crazies sees Romero returning to firmer horror territory as a small rural town finds itself in the grip of an infection which send its hosts into a violent, homicidal frenzy.Taken together, these three films, made in the period between Romero s celebrated living dead outings Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, serve to shine a light on the broader thematic concerns and auteurist leanings of a skilled craftsman too often pigeonholed within the genre.LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard DVD presentationsOriginal Mono Audio (Uncompressed PCM on the Blu-rays)English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingReversible sleeve for each film featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Gilles VranckxLimited edition 60-page booklet featuring new writing on the films by Kat Ellinger, Kier-La Janisse and Heather DrainTHERE S ALWAYS VANILLABrand new 2K restoration from original film elements Brand new audio commentary by Travis CrawfordAffair of the Heart: The Making of There s Always Vanilla brand new documentary featuring interviews with producers John Russo and Russell Streiner, stars Judith Streiner and Richard Ricci, and sound recordist Gary StreinerDigging Up the Dead The Lost Films of George A.

I'm going to get the big grievance out the way first. The set is incomplete. The name of the set is "Between Night and Dawn". Focusing a spotlight on the often overlooked films of the late great George A Romero. He made four films between 1968's Night of the living dead and 1978's Dawn of the dead and only three are presented in this set. 1978's Martin really should have gotten a release in this set, especially as it's becoming increasingly hard to find.Onto the positives, the set is very well presented with a wonderful take on the Dawn of the dead poster using Romero in place of the plaid shirt zombie. The booklet is stylish and full of cool information and full colour pictures. The movies themselves are very good and well presented. Each comes with a reversible cover, meaning you can use the cover for the original movie poster or the newly commissioned poster art.Inside each case you'll find a Blu Ray and a DVD copy of each film with no difference between the two in terms of special features, the only difference being the presented quality of the features.For those who wish not to know about the movies, stop reading here though I will endeavor to be spoiler free.'There's Always Vanilla - 1971'After 1968's huge success Romero and the team didn't want to become typecast as horror writers, they therefore branched out into something different. Catching hold of a trend of romantic themed films they decided to have a go. The story itself is relatively simple. Guy meets girl, they fall in love but both are contending with their own issues. It's a far cry from Romero's previous and future work and some might find it quite dry. Romero himself was no fan of the movie, citing funding issues.'Season Of The Witch (Jack's Wife) 1972'Is an interesting peek into the lives of domestic couples in the 1970's. The story for this is a little more grounded. (I'd say this is due to Romero writing this one) A downtrodden, underappreciated housewife who dreads her own mortality begins to experiment with witchcraft to spice her life up a little. It's not a straight up horror, but it has some horror themes present. Romero's style is clearly present and it's most notable during the movies break in scenes which echo the opening scenes in Night of the living dead when Barbra first enters the farmhouse. Overall it is a good movie, but seems to lack something. Romero stated this is a film he felt was not done justice due to them not having the budget and stated that this was one movie he wanted to remake.'The Crazies 1973'The cult classic, this is where Romero treads much closer to where most will know him. The story is simple, a virus has been accidentally released in a small US town which causes the inhabitants to demonstrate wild, erratic and homicidal behaviour. The army is drafted in to prevent the outbreak spreading and a small group of people are attempting to escape. This is a movie which shows how over regulation can lead to disaster and is a strong satirical political message of the times. It boasts Romero's classic bleak tone which is lightened by a dry satirical wit, something of a signature of his.If 1978's Martin had been included we could at this point have a complete range, when the movies are watched in order it's clearly visible how much he was learning and developing. (As a side note I would recommend Martin to anyone)George A Romero forged a legacy that will never be forgotten, his influence today is as clear as it has ever been with hardly a single zombie movie ever being released that doesn't adhere to 'Romero's law' of zombies. His work has changed horror cinema forever and inspired generations of writers, filmmakers and artists. I think this box set is a really nice way of giving fans a look into his earlier work and is a must have for any die-hard Romero fan.
