A classic

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was really eager to check it out again. Before watching this flick the first time around, since it was such a classic, I had some rather huge expectations. Well, to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed by the whole thing back then. Basically, after waiting all these years, I finally saw the damned thing but, even though I did like it, to be honest, I wasn't exactly blown away though. I mean, sure, it was well done and entertaining and I definitely could see how it must have been frightening for the audience back in 1968. I could see as well how it had influenced all the horror movies which came afterwards, especially in the zombie genre, but in my opinion, the whole thing didn’t grow old very well. Of course, it is rather unfair since this movie must have been quite groundbreaking when it was released but, after all these years, I have seen so many more movies dealing with the same subject and some of them actually had a much stronger impact on me. Basically, as far as I'm concerned, it feels like a vintage version of 'The Walking Dead' but not much more than that, to be honest. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really blow me away, it is still a major classic and it is pretty much a must see for any decent movie lover, especially if you are a fan of the genre.
