Night of the Living Dead

Pros: Not only do they kill you, they also eat you!
Cons: None

As I sit here on this first Halloween evening of the third millenium, waiting for the first ghost, ghoul, goblin, or trick-or-treater to appear at my door, I feel compelled to share the tale of a film that has scared the living h3ll out of me more...

Pros: Excellent low budget production and social commentary
Cons: Low budget production

With a craving for classic horror lately, I’ve been digging through the archives to fill in a few gaps. Having seen pretty much every movie it almost singlehandedly spawned, it was time that I checked out George Romero’s 1968 zombie pioneer, ...

Pros: Created a whole new movie monster.
Cons: Um . . . they weren't "zombies". They were ghouls.

Seven people trapped in a rural farmhouse while the reanimated dead try to get in. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. George Romero’s 1968 classic--and yes, this one IS a classic--NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD pretty much changed everything. ...

Pros: Moody, suspensful, well done - and on a well rounded DVD to boot!
Cons: Not a damn thing I can think of.

*cue catchy jingle* Fifteen days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. Fifteen days to Halloween - Silver Shamrocks! Welcome Boys and Ghouls to Month of the Living Dead, my thirteen day (and then some) tribute to that most wonderful of ...

Pros: great cast, in-depth social commentary, some nice gore
Cons: none

Pros: Improved Picture Quality, A Classic By Definition
Cons: Nothing At All

I love horror films; I have ever since I was a child. I can't even remember the first time I ever watched one of these movies, as my parents have always watched them, I guess this is kind of the reason that I got into horror movies. There have been...

Pros: The undead feast.
Cons: Their hunger cannot be stopped.

There's nothing better these days than to just sit back lazily and watch a few classic horror flicks. Well, when most people think of "classic" horror films, they think of movies such as The Exorcist, Phantom of the Opera, and of course, ...

Pros: Great entertainment, the start of a solid franchise, creepy low-budget fun
Cons: A frightening amount of mistakes

There is no zombie film as beloved as George Romero's 1968 masterpiece Night of the Living Dead...well, bigger fans list his follow up, Dawn of the Dead, to be the best, but you have to start somewhere. Without this film Romero would have ...

Pros: Atmosphere, crisp b&w cinematography, claustrophobic.
Cons: 36+ year-old low-budget imperfect film with semi-professional actors. So what.

Night of the Living Dead was originally shot in 1967 on 35-mm. black and white, with a budget not much more than that of The Blair Witch Project (under $14,000). A team of perfectionists shot the film. They had a background making commercials,industrial ...

Pros: Consistant mood and reality makes the horror hit home.
Cons: Many errors, goofs and slips, none of which matter.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) Directed by George Romero. The first, and the best…this is the seminal Zombie Movie. Made on a shoestring, $114,000.00 this movie is the ultimate proof that sometimes less is more. The plot is very ...

Pros: live.
Cons: die.

One might expect that a film titled Night of the Living Dead ( and released in 1968) would not induce thrills and chills 37 years later. Nor would many of us expect it to spawn an innumerable amount of sequels and remakes, Dawn of the Dead ...

Pros: Suspenseful, well constructed and edited, historic landmark film
Cons: cinematography is uneven, amateurish in places

There are only two movies that frightened me so much that I can still remember exactly where I first saw them. One is Psycho, which I first saw in 1967 for 50 cents at the Auditorium of the Quad of the University of Illinois on a Friday night....

Pros: The first of its type, never bettered. Elite editions are superb.
Cons: None, unless this genre is not to your taste at all.

This film is a seminal work of its type that is seldom, if ever, bettered. One either likes it or doesn't. To say that the images in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD are iconic would be an enormous understatement; they have informed the modern horror genre more ...

Pros: beautifully filmed, socially conscious, smart
Cons: some performances by all-newbie cast awkward, one dialogue sequence goes a little long

Single-handedly changing the landscape of the American cinema upon its limited, largely drive-in theater, release in 1968, George A. Romero's grim, pessimistic parable of eroding race and familial relations maintains its ability to shock some thirty-two...

Pros: Delightfully,delectable,devouring film of undead beauty.You will literally will gnaw on your fingertips.
Cons: It will give your children nightmares and maybe even yourself.

Night of the Living Dead               There are few horror films that are as revolutionary as George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. This film started what was to be a long list of undea...
