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 today and I watch it often still. The best part about this film is the way it opens. Brother and sister fighting while visiting a relatives grave and you think everything is peaceful, but you slowly find out it's not and it's only the beginning.
