The daddy of underground cinema classics is 50 years old in 2018. Never seen Night of the Living Dead? See it on the big screen at Square Chapel in Halifax courtesy of FANTASTIQ, Sunday 6th May at 5.45pm, in a double-bill with Dominic Brunt’s zombie shocker BEFORE DAWN, followed by a Q&A with Dominic Brunt himself!

FANTASTIQ – The Festival of Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Horror is coming home to Yorkshire with a nerve-jangling double-bill that combines a timeless shocker with one of the hundreds of films that it has inspired over more than half a century.

Released in 1968, George A. Romero’s tense and audacious debut Night of the Living Dead ushered in a new era of raw modern horror. Rightly championed by fans around the world, it is now revered as a seminal cult classic – a quasi-expressionistic celluloid nightmare and the Citizen Kane of the horror ‘B’s.

In Before Dawn estranged husband and wife Alex and Meg head to a remote cottage in a bid to salvage their marriage. But as their domestic drama is played out in isolation, a much bigger drama (the apocalypse) is slowly being played out elsewhere. Edgy, frenetic and terrifyingly claustrophobic, Before Dawn is also powerfully original.

Emmerdale regular Dominic Brunt is forging a reputation as a writer, director and producer of acclaimed independent films. He made his debut with Before Dawn in 2013, following up with Bait and Adult Babies. He will be interviewed by journalist and author, Tony Earnshaw, director and co-founder of FANTASTIQ, the Festival of Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Horror.
