In this scene one of the bikers is being eaten alive by the zombies. They are pulling his intestines out of his stomach; this is the typical style of gore that will be found in a George A. Romero film, he said that the gore is part of his style because it shocks the audience into a state that they are then more open to the more political messages of the film such as consumerism and materialism, this is extremely typical of his Auteur style (Andrew Sarris). The gore in this scene was created with animal intestines; they are extremely pink in this shot because the actor who was having them pulled from his chest had a phobia of dirty/ bloody innards. I think that the gore in this shot is particularly disturbing because of how believable it is. The high angle point of view shot forces the audience to feel as though they are one of the zombies carrying out the violence, this is an uncomfortable for them to watch.
