It's like a friday night down my local

Advantages: great all round entertaining movie
Disadvantages: none really... (apart from one or two 'iffy' scenes)

...Romero's night of the living dead… and with a rather good little twist of a finale it is sure to be a great movie to watch… If you do want to get a copy of this then you can get one from amazon.co.uk for as less than £6.00. ...

Run, The Zombies

Advantages: Influential and a great watch.
Disadvantages: Dated there are better zombie movies out there these days.

I doubt that when George A. Romero first created this b-movie on a budget of just $114,000, he realised it would become the inspiring and classic film it is today. Now seen as a semi-cult classic it is the king of the horror b-movies. Although it wasn't the first ever zombie movie, previous films such as Victor Halperin's White Zombie, were based on living people been controlled by a voodoo witch and were mainly set in the Carribean. Romero brought ...
...they are in todays modern cinema. With this film an entire new horror sub genre was created and Romero revealed how powerful exploitation was by setting the film in very ordinary circumstances. When the film was first released however, it was dismissed because of the graphic scenes and the gore. However, since then it has seen many imitators including The Evil Dead and 28 Days Later and has been parodied by films such as Shaun Of The Dead as well ...

The Night of the Living Dead. Muhahaha

Advantages: I want this to happen to me. IT'S FREE
Disadvantages: The woman's acting is really crap the rest were fine though

...THIS DVD I FOUND OUT THE COPYRIGHT FOR IT IS OUT-OF-DATE OR SOMETHNG AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT LEGALLY FOR FREE. So this is one of the original Zombie flicks. It's made in the days when zombies were zombies slow walking and murderous and a bit stupid. Not like todays versions were zombies are running all over the show making us Livies look really unfit. It's all that fruit and fibre people are eating it's affecting their afterlife and all. The plot ...
...attacked by a zombie and the brother gets killed. She runs away and into this abandoned house were she meets this otehr guy whose also running from zombies. He boards up the house whilst she gets on like a wee whinging cow avoiding doing any work and then they find out some people are holding out in the basement. They then try and survive and escape etc. The main charcter Ben is great and does exactly what you want him to do (you'll see whatI mean ...

The Beginning of a New Era in Horror

Advantages: Scary atmosphere, great performances, a constant sense of fear
Disadvantages: Slightly dated

...cannibalism. In a desolate night at a rural section of Pennsylvania, seven ordinary people seek refuge in a farmhouse as they try to fight for their very own survival against an ever-growing horde of ravenous flesh-eating ghouls… If anything, Night of the Living Dead is a study of the human condition under pressure. While trying to find a way to escape the legions of zombies, several of the humans begin to bicker among themselves. In one instance, ...
...a "deathtrap". What makes Night of the Living Dead a truly harrowing film is the tension we vicariously experience. Although we are mere spectators, there are times when we find ourselves yelling at the characters on screen, even arguing with them. The internal conflict among the humans is what makes Night of the Living Dead a true memorable nightmare. Of course, this film also has lots of suspense (a young woman's first encounter with the cemetery ...

They Only Come Out At Night

Advantages: A worthy remake | Some nice differences
Disadvantages: Script

Night of the Living Dead may not be to everyone's liking but it's certainly one of the horror genre's biggest names. Released in 1968, it certainly stood out, not only for the base subject matter but also the undertones of social commentary running through the film, albeit in a subtle way. It also made George A. Romero a household name and master of the zombie sub genre. It wasn't that surprising, then, that a remake would pop its head up at some ...
...horror film the story of Night of the Living Dead is pretty much well known. Starting off in a cemetery, Barbara (Patricia Tallman) and her husband are making the 200 mile trek up to Barbara's mothers grave. Unfortunately for them they have a closer encounter to the dead people than they'd like. Barbara escapes the shuffling corpses and manages to find a farm house to hide out in. There she meets Ben (Tony Todd) and they pair up together to try and ...
