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…

Part of me wants to love this film and yet another can't see past the fact that the film tends to show its age and low budget to frequently to gain any form of a higher opinion on it.

It's a damn fine effort for its time and its many underlying themes make it still relevant to this day, yet I can't deny that some aspects are pretty dated and at least a decent amount of the film was pretty uninteresting.

Not to say the film itself is to blame, I've just never fond zombies that scary of a monster to be up against or the overall setting to offer that much in terms of overall story. Granted, Romero's efforts…

George A. Romero's feature film debut is that influential horror flick whose contribution to its genre as well as pop-culture is so immense that cinema will forever be indebted to it. Night of the Living Dead marks the birth of a new sub-genre of horror and is one of the first films to employ the storyline of zombie apocalypse.

Over the years since its release, this seminal classic has garnered a strong cult following & there's no denying that its influence remains as effective as before but for me, Night of the Living Dead turned out to be a pretty mediocre experience considering that it has aged very badly & what was once scary now comes off as unintentionally hilarious.

Set in…

What can I write about Night of the Living Dead that hasn't already been said by hundreds of other people, better than I could put it? At this point, everyone knows that this movie is a major feat--where ghouls are no longer ghouls, but zombies, and soon they will have a set of rules. Everyone knows that this is an influential, revered and beloved film. Everyone knows that George A. Romero created a new breed of monster. Just like vampire films are always referenced back to Bram Stoker, the modern-day zombie film is always referenced back to Romero. The only difference between both is that vampires have been around for centuries; throughout many different cultures, taking different forms in a…

It's ages since I last watched this film, but there was a time when I watched it pretty often. Coming back with a more critical eye, the first thing I notice is that judging by the drop out and distortions in some early scenes my DVD seems to have originated from a VHS master - undoubtedly a legacy of the mess around the copyright of the film.

Night of the Living Dead is low budget, but uses it carefully. Romero is an expert here at playing out scenes for all they are worth before adding the next element to his story. There are times when things feel they are moving slowly, but with the characters barricaded into a farm house…
