**First of all, I'm not American or British, so forgive me, readers, if my English has a few mistakes.
One of the greatest horror films ever made, the original Night of the Living Dead proves that you don't need astronomical budgets to develop a solid, well-done and most important for the genre, scary story.
Initiating with a relatively simple story, the film develops into a complicated duel of opinions, egos, beliefs and emotions, turning up to make the people trapped inside the house, more dangerous than the flesh-eating zombies outside.
George A. Romero is not a very well-known director outside the horror circle, but he has a solid filmography with great unknown little jewels that have a little political message, a little humor, some sarcasm and lots of blood, gore and exploding members, after all he's still a horror director. A great horror director.
I highly recommend this film not only to horror fans, but also to good cinema fans and people intrested in human emotions and psychology.
This film has two remakes: Night of the Living Dead (1989) and Night of the Living Dead 3D (2006) but none get close to the original.
