So this really aged well.

I was a bit afraid that with the whole Apocalyptic Running Zombie direction Zombie films were headed this would feel old and tired, but it most assuredly doesn't.

I am not sure if I remember correctly but I seem to recall that Romero was inspired by the novel 'I am Legend' when he was thinking of this film. The feeling of being alone, surrounded by monsters is a strong concept and it is executed to perfection in this film. This is not a full out horror fest most of us are used to. Much like the zombies themselves, it is determined and relentless.

And that's the thing, this film emanates a 'this has never been…

The birth of the modern zombie. It's often that Night of the Living Dead is simply mentioned as the first modern zombie film and almost all the praise goes to Dawn of the Dead as the greatest zombie film ever made. Night deserves much more praise then that.

The rules of the modern zombie is engraved in pop culture. My 9 year old stepdaughter knows what a zombie is and she's never witnessed a zombie movie. That's why most casual viewers watch NotLD without realizing just how brilliant it is.

The manor in which the nature of the zombies, what their capable of, is discovered by the survivors (and the audience) is a stroke…

Classic Horror film...one of the best ever made.

The score (which was borrowed from previous films) is creepy...the cinematography is perfect. There are a few moments in the film that still make me jump.

Duan Jones did a great job in his role. Hardman was very good as Mr. Cooper and I've always loved the arguments between his character and Jones'. One of the most shocking moments for me is the outcome of that 'relationship'.

O'Dea was fine in the early moments of the film and I understand that she is pretty much losing her mind throughout the remainder of the film but I just think she made some bad acting choices when she would come out of her blank…

I have been meaning to watch Romero's classic Dead trilogy for such a long time that I feel like a complete idiot now, because the first entry into this legendary series very much lives up to the insanely high expectations.
Not only that I was actually genuinely surprised as I didn't think I would get a movie that works mostly with suspense and an eerie quietness lingering throughout the entire film. Sure some zombies get a good beating but it is never the focus of the work as most of it is build-up of nerve-racking tension as our protagonists are slowly but surely facing inevitable doom.

Night of the Living Dead has become more than just a cult classic over…

THIS is considered a classic? WOW. This one belongs high on the list of most overated movies of all time. After all these years, I finally watched this film, and it was still too soon.
There is NOTING scary about this film. The zombies just looked like old people shuffling around on the lawn. Is this supposed to be a comedy? There is no menace, no terror, no tension.... just a whole lot of bad acting, bad camerawork, bad FX makeup, bad music... If I didn't know better, I'd say it was meant as a spoof of horror films.
People bash horror films, especially most modern horror films. But I will say that even the worst one made in the…

When the opening scene rolled on out I thought I would lack the patience to watch a low budget horror film from so long ago but I gave it a chance and I'm pretty surprised by the cleverness this film possesses. You've got this scenario where the people bunkered up in the farm house are too busy fighting amongst each other when they should be working together. People vs living dead vs each other. The men are too busy trying assert themselves and one of their wives is really sassy and tells him what's what. My only problem with this, and I do understand this was made in the 60's, but the women are portrayed as pretty fucking useless. Like…

OK, I watched this due to everyone harping on how great a film it was. I gave it a go. Now I grew up with Zombie films, I watch and loved Shaun of the Dead, the remake of Day of the Dead and The Walking Dead TV show.

This, was a pleasant surprise. I do have a soft spot for the old black and white horror films. I liked Quatermass, I liked The Thing (the original) and I liked the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.

This one reminded me of a Sunday afternoon film. It wasnt that horrific, but it was a good watch, nicely shot on the budget, and I can see why it started the zombie movement. I wouldnt…
