if you want to know anything about zombie films you have to see this. its the classic. its the must see zombie film.

imagines in this film stick with you. it gets under your skin.

yes, there are zombie films that i like more than Night of the Living Dead, and no it is NOT the first nor the first like it. it is however very well done and absolutely essential!

This movie will forever be linked with starting the zombie craze and I believe it was also the first horror movie to star a African American, being Duane Jones. His acting is what makes this film and he shows off as a great leader that eventually doesn't make it in the end. I'm not a fan of remakes to much but I actually like the remake a bit better than the original. This one still holds up well ... read more

We can hardly imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke into the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it again, though there have been numerous pale imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that it is shot in such a raw and unadorned fashion that it feels like a home movie, and is all the more authentic because of that. It draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we hardly could have anticipated. The story is simple: Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk, and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kill one is by a shot or blow to the head. We follow a group holed up in a small farmhouse who are trying to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. The tension between the members of this unstable, makeshift community drives the film. Night of the Living Dead establishes savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humor, the film gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow. --Jim Gay
