Details
Movie Description
George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a low-budget, homegrown classic that had great difficulty finding a distributor at the time of its release in 1968, and has since become 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 was an extremely sensitive issue in the United States.) The plot is simple: seven people secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated corpses seeking to eat their flesh. 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 keep trying to enter the house. Radio news reports tell of the plague taking over the eastern United States, while the ever-decreasing band of survivors rapidly loses ground in the battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.
Synopsis
When the dead mysteriously begin returning to life, a band of squabbling human survivors hole up in an abandoned Pennsylvania farmhouse where they fight off the growing army of flesh-eating zombies.

Industry Reviews
"...Second only to PSYCHO among influential horror films..." -- Rating: A+
Entertainment Weekly - p.91 - Steve Simels (11/25/1994)
"...The best thing is that NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD isn't over-composed -- it just hurtles ahead with all its gruesomeness..."
Los Angeles Times - Mark Chalon Smith (03/15/1991)
"Minted in chilling black and white, George A. Romero's indie classic manages to be scary as hell, funny, and political all at once..."

5 stars out of 5 -- "George Romero's legendary, ultra-low-budget debut remains awesome."
Empire - Sam Toy (12/01/2008)
