Night of the Living Dead: Requiem | AI horror film

'Night of the Living Dead: Requiem' (2024) reimagines the legendary story of a zombie siege in a forsaken farmhouse. As the survivors face the undead, they find themselves drawn into a haunting requiem—a song that reveals their inner fears and fleeting hopes.

The zombies too, seem to move in rhythm with the inevitable march of death. Ben, Barbara, and the others must fight not only for survival but against the existential weight of their own downfall, as each note underscores the fragility of life.

Background info:

As a massive horror fan, I’ve always been drawn to 'Night of the Living Dead'. I'll never forget that first viewing experience as a young teenager.

As 'Night of the Living Dead' is in the public domain, it felt right to honour this influential classic, and introduce an emotional layer. As a Requiem traditionally serves as a mass for the dead, I felt that this concept mirrored the characters' struggle - alive or undead.

This project is my tribute to George A. Romero’s vision, blending horror and music to deepen the emotional impact of the story. It’s a reflection on the fragility of humanity yet the powerful choices we make when life throws us unconventional situations.
