Suburban witchcraft. Motorcycle jousting. A cockroach invasion. Despite this enticing list of other subjects, George A. Romero is best known for the genre-defining 1968 film \u003ci\u003eNight of the Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e and subsequent zombie films. The non-zombie films in his decades-long career have gotten varied degrees of critical examination but they remain underexamined compared to the \u003ci\u003eDead\u003c\/i\u003e flicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This book focuses on Romero''s other work, highlighting lesser-known films such as \u003ci\u003eThere''s Always Vanilla\u003c\/i\u003e (1971) and \u003ci\u003eBruiser\u003c\/i\u003e (2000), as well as more popular films such as \u003ci\u003eMartin\u003c\/i\u003e (1977) and \u003ci\u003eThe Crazies\u003c\/i\u003e (1973). It examines how his body of work participates in social critique by delving into issues such as capitalism''s pitfalls and excesses, domestic and racial power imbalances, and our patriarchal culture''s expectations of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040495141207,"sku":"9781476685687","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476685687.jpg?v=1750946927","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/not-of-the-living-dead-9781476685687","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
