In director George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, seven people secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated corpses seeking to eat their flesh....
more...The group, which includes a married couple and their daughter, a pair of young lovers, and an African American man, try to keep their sanity as the living dead try endlessly to enter the house until they are laid to rest by burning or a severe blow to the head. As they listen to news reports of the zombie plague taking over the eastern United States, the ever-decreasing band of survivors loses ground in their battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.
Romero's low-budget, homegrown classic went from being unable to find a distributor to becoming one of the most influential horror films of all time. Aside from its visceral impact years before realistic gore became the fashion, the film is also important for its portrayal of a black man as the protagonist during a time when race relations were an extremely sensitive issue in the United States. Romero's choice for the ending of his film also made a shocking and bold statement about the issue.

A Mouthful Of Flesh
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by peppersinclaire

Advantages: Sporadically spooky.
Disadvantages: Plodding pacing.

Zombie movies. Say it once and believe in your nightmares. Believe that the dead can walk the earth and make appetisers out of your pancreas. That only destroying the brain can stop the onslaught of reanimated corpses from tearing your flesh from your bones and licking the bloody tendons they peel from your legs. Feeling off? Read no further. In fact, don’t read the preceding paragraph. Oops – too late. Heh heh. So zombie lovers ... Read review

Their coming to get you Barbara, Again
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by Silent_Bob

Advantages: Good Gore, Decent Acting,
Disadvantages: Weak Script

...of George A Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead was made largely as a means to help Romero keep the copyright on his original film, and to help Romero gain some more money to fund his recent films seeing as he always chooses to produce them independently. This remake was directed by Tom Savini, the mastermind behind the special effects in Romero’s own Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead and also most of the horror films you can ... Read review

"They're dead... they're all messed up"
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by Danieru

Advantages: Zombies are always fun
Disadvantages: You HAVE TO find the right version - the Elite one

...be Dawn of the Dead. Night of the Living Dead would be my daddy, and the daddy of all my many and varied brothers. Plot. OK, a handful of mismatched characters board themselves up in an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere and try not to kill each other. There are zombies too. Made very cheaply, this film manages to turn its flaws into strengths. The non-superstar actors lend it a sense of realism with their simple but effective performances. The ... Read review

I wish I was dead too
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by TheNeil

Advantages: Cheap (in a good way)
Disadvantages: Cheap (in a bad way)

Just the very name 'Night of The Living Dead' conjures up an aura of something suprememly evil and macabre, something splendidly terrifying. What we get is two steps above a home movie. This is a real low budget (no make that no budget) effort that cuts corners all the way. The cast are no names, the effects are cheesier than a cheese factory hosting a cheese exhibition, and it's all so nasty that it's excellent. Huh? Yes, it maybe cheap, it may lack ... Read review

Slap in the face of the original
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by Chaotic1

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...immitations, sequels and spin offs. Night of the Living Dead and its follow ups were the inspiration for the Resident Evil games. But the recent remake was nothing short of offensive to fans of the original zombie fest. Ever notice how there was always a perfect, stainless white wall behind every zombiew as they were sent back to the grave, and the blood spattered up it in torrents? Well that's been done away with. Replaced by dimly lit asurroundings ... Read review

The Beginning of a New Era in Horror
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by aEnigma7345

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, ... Read review

They're coming to get you Barbara!
Review of Night Of The Living Dead DVD by iateamonkey

Advantages: Horror Masterpiece from the mind of legendary director George A. Romero, zombies, blood, comedy - what more do you want?
Disadvantages: Made in the 70s on a very low budget and in black and white, but you can't complain too much!

A true classic, the first part of Romero's "Dead" trilogy is a great start to the series. Although the budget was low Romero makes the most of the black and white film to add a sense of darkness to a slightly humourous screenplay. Romero went where no one had ever been before, and haven't been there as successfully since. Not as good as Romero's fantastic "Dawn of the Dead" or his latest film "Land of the Dead" but still as the first part ... Read review
