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

If one were to gather a group of people, have them sit down and compile a listing of the most influential horror...

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...

Since Night of the Living Dead is my all time favorite movie in the whole wide world, I am doing a little bit of a tribute to the man responsible for...

Pros: Wonderfully atmospheric, character driven, historically significant
Cons: Dated and stagey

Back in 1968, during the era of the drive-ins, George Romero gave the world a low-budget, high-concept film that sparked a new interest in the living dead, as well as a film that used razor smarts and character-driven drama to comment on the society of...

Pros: An important horror film

In no other movie than "Night of the Living Dead" does fear of the unknown play out so uniquely well.

Pros: direction, script, originality, the definitive horror film

When “Night of the living Dead” first arrived in the American Cinematic Scene in the late 1960’s it was seen as...

Pros: This is the icon of all Zombie flicks
Cons: small budget, and dated by today's standards.

In 1968, George A. Romero brought us a film that would be the inspiration to horror film makers everywhere. A shoestring budget film which produced as much terror as it did profit. For the first time we get to see the world of Mr. Romero. A world...

Pros: Acting, suspense, atmosphere, direction, social commentary
Cons: None

During the 1970s and the 1980s, zombie films were all over town. Some were good (Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE), some were bad (Dan O'Bannon's RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD), and some just laughed at the whole genre (Peter Jackson's DEAD ALIVE). However, there was...

Pros: Great
Cons: None

I had the pleasure of first viewing NIGHT OF THE LIVINGDEAD on television.Filmed in black and white, thisfilm brings mankind into the hard core reality of facinga total nightmare when the flesh eating dead roam theearth. Need less to stay I am uneasy...

Night of the Living Dead 30th Anniversary DVD Review

Sometimes, I can't stand movie purists. You know, the ones that scream "Don't mess with a classic!" or, "You mess with this , and it's death threat city!" When word came...

Pros: Acting, directing, story, effects, atmosphere. The whole movie's great.
Cons: Nothing.

The first in Romero's Dead series and the first time zombies were portrayed as flesh-eating fiends, too. The switch from traditional voodoo-style zombies into the flesh-eating ghoul variety is really a stroke of genius, which is all the more obvious ...

Pros: The unsuspecting ending, a respectable classic
Cons: Poor acting and effects, generally dated in all aspects

Note: The version I am reviewing is the 2000 GoodTimes Home Video Corp. edition of the 1968 edition of Night of the Living Dead I would like to begin by noting my extreme enthusiasm for horror movies in general. I have seen hundreds of ...

Pros: still scary, psychologically frightening
Cons: somewhat cheesy at times

Lemme just tell ya now--I was pretty impressed with this movie. Especially considering it came out in 1968. i would consider this a must-see and definitely on my top-ten. I have never seen a movie that intense from that time period. "They're coming...

Pros: Great, thoughtful, well-made horror movie
Cons: I liked the black and white film, will you?

I had only seen parts of the original "Night Of The Living Dead" in the first 15 years after its release, so when it finally (in 1984) showed at midnight in one of only two theatres in our town, I went to see it. What a shock when...

Pros: The true master of horror
Cons: none

Here is the movie that brought me into the world of horror and nightmares.
It is truly a masterpiece of genuis's at work.
Romero is a one of a kind. Not only did he bring things into the industry that others could not, or would not, bring, he...

Pros: Genuine chills and suspense
Cons: Low low budget

Eight years after Psycho and ten years before Halloween came this horror movie that serves as the lone highlight between the releases of Psycho and Halloween. It also has a lot of the same elements as the other two -- genuine terror without gore, high...

Pros: scary, creepy, well-made.
Cons: may be too old for some.

Romero spent a tiny budget, filmed it on weekends, and never expected much out of NotLD. What he got was one of the greatest horrors ever.

Remind you of anything? If you said Blair Witch you are thinking like me, but Living Dead is many...

Pros: The absolute terror that their is no hope for survival (rare for today's society).
Cons: No matter how hard you try, be prepared to be sickened and weary of the outside world afterwards.

George Romero created THE final great monster movie of all time, and in addition, told it in a way no one could forget.
Night of the Living Dead (1968) is the story of seven ordinary people whose summer is destroyed when from out of nowhere, people...

Pros: Classic in the horror genre, full of suspense, death, and zombies of course.
Cons: Not for those of you who can't appreciate what the art of film is.

To put it simply, a classic! This masterpiece has survived the ages with it's popularity still intact. What happens when 7 strangers are picked to be stuck in a farm house, in the middle of no where, and stop being polite, while fighting off flesh...

Pros: classic cult film that is a must for any horror lover
Cons: does not pack the same punch it did when it was released but still great

Sure, Night of the Living Dead may not be scary in comparison to today's horror movies, but it has something that alot of today's horror movies don't have; suspense. The story is simple. A meteor shower flies over the Earth. And as you would expect,...

Pros: SCARY!!!! realistic, makes you think
Cons: makes you paraniod for about a week after watching, can't sleep so well the night of

What can I say? Night of the Living Dead (NLD) is just in a class of its own when it comes to horror films. I first saw this film when I was about 12. It’s actually a funny story of how I got it. I was at a neighbor’s garage sale and they were...

I have seen all of the Living Dead movies and this must be George A. Romero’s best. George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is a must see for any true horror movie fan. I myself prefer the 1990 remake of this cult classic, I enjoy this...

Pros: Great cult classic.
Cons: Unbelievible

Night of the Living Dead is a cult classic, that much just about everyone knows. It's a semi commical look at what would happen if the dead started walking again. As for a fear factor, if you're 7 years old and watching this movie, then it's scary. If...

Pros: Classic
Cons: none that i can remember

I don't know if this is the best of the series but it's a classic in itself. I saw this movie when growing up and its emotional scars are still present. This one happens to be, personally, one of the best movies of all time. Id hope that everyone today...

Imagine your worst fear... Whatever it is it will never come close to the thought of an endless army of the undead with a never ending hunger for human flesh. George A. Romero has spawned the father of zombie movies with the total fear and horror and...

Pros: Scary movie even in today's color filled, special FX'd world
Cons: not one

Night of the Living Dead is one of the all time classic movies right up there with the original Dracula (Bela Lagosi) and Frankenstein (Boris Karloff) and The Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)

This is a zombie movie. If I remember correctly, there was...
