The money was really small, but you approached the matter with inspiration and talent. Therefore, as soon as the film could be brought to a mass audience, it became popular and received sequels.
The Godfather is a major studio film based on the book, which became the best-selling at the time and the film rights to which were bought before its release. The leader of the 1972 rental, who scored 2+ times more money than the second place - "The Adventure of Poseidon". The budget of the film is $6 million, while the budget of "Poseidon" about the flipping of an ocean liner is $5 million. With all this, the film still looks good, but in some places the influence of time is clearly visible. At least in the presentation of the material, at least in practical effects.
And a horror film shot in 1980 from fans with a budget of 350 thousand dollars who had little other than enthusiasm, so the film itself crawled to a limited release only in 1983. "Radiance" in the 80th took the 12th place in fees and cost $20 million, "Friday, the 13th" cost $550 thousand and was in 15th place, but this is a studio The film and budget are almost 2 times larger than that of the Dead.
The makeup wasn't up to scratch right away, but it's been seen worse. The plot, suspense, and acting have simply passed the test of time - this is a cult that is still alive with 3 more parts, a TV series, a remake, games, and comics. You'd better compare it with a film of the same genre and level so that the comparison is correct.
That evil spirits lurk in the churchyard at night
They scare all the passersby with themselves.
They scream, howl, and sometimes bite.
People are afraid to walk past the cemetery at night
At least pay them a few bucks.
But they run over and fly over to the side
To avoid meeting that otherworldly punks
And they don't talk well about that ruined place.
So we should stick together.
We've been hunting for spirits for a long time.
Well, here in the village there's just a whole wagon and a cart.
It's a remote place here, and the people are dark, in general.
But we will teach them everything and we will destroy the animals.
We are the valiant warriors of light
We are the chosen Knights of the Holy Covenant
