Perfect Pairings at Bella Wine Caves

It’s Halloween and time to descend into Bella Vineyard’s wine caves for a discussion on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) and GET OUT (2017), a pair of pioneering horror films scrutinizing race relations in America.

Experience the perfect seasonal cocktail of laughs and frights with a splash of irony in these modern horror classics.

FILMS DESCRIPTION:
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD George Romero, 1968, USA, 96 min
SYNOPSIS: As corpses begin to emerge from their graves, a group of disparate strangers take shelter in a nearby farmhouse. But as the house becomes surrounded, the pressure inside increasingly becomes too much to bear. Horror icon George Romero created the template for the modern zombie film with this low budget thriller that remains both compelling and resonant 65 years after its initial release.

GET OUT Jordan Peele, 2017, USA, 104 min
SYNOPSIS: When New York photographer Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is invited to meet Rose’s parents at their estate in upstate New York, he becomes anxious that she hasn’t previously disclosed their interracial relationship. However, once the weekend begins to unfold, Chris discovers even more nefarious forces at play. Part horror, part comedy, part social satire on race in America, Get Out is a brilliantly provocative and massively entertaining modern horror classic.
