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: 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: Acting, directing, story, effects, atmosphere. The whole movie's great.

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

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