For the first time ever, own the original and best loved zombie movie of all time as Director and Horror legend, George A Romero intended it to be seen. The feature has been painfully restored and remastered and the sound upgraded to Dolby Digital 5.1 to offer a fright-feast of truly nerve-jangling proportions. This Special Edition also includes a host of Bonus Features never before released in the UK!!

Format:DVD
This (contender) dvd release is one of the worst i have seen... it has at least 5cuts and the transfer is a poor compared to elite's millenium edition. if you want to buy this exellent clessic film, just do not by this version! i recommend Elite Entertainment - Millennium Edition.

Not only does this release have a weak transfer it's also a very heavily censored print.
It's nothing to do with the BBFC and everything to do with the awful print 'Contender' submitted to them.
At least 4 shots of flesh eating are missing from the 'barbecue' scene and the infamous 'trowel murder' has been reduced from 14 stabs to only 3 (almost the entire scene has gone).
Forget what the other reviewer says. This is one of the worst versions of the film in the UK and is a disgraceful release for a truly ground-breaking classic of the horror genre.

This is one of the two great Romero zombie films and sets the tone for Dawn of the Dead perfectly.
I have seen this film countless times and it never gets old. The quality of the transfer, which is a little ropey in places and is probably due to the age of the print adds to the overall effect of the film. The soundtrack occasionally sounds like a warped tape, but I find it refreshing and feel that it adds character to the film.
Every time I see another hopeless new zombie film released (don't get me wrong, there are a handful of good releases) I put this in my DVD player and happily forget Diary of the Dead and all the rest.
If this film is not in your zombie collection I think you know what to do!

(Not a very) Silent Night...of the dead!
Night of the Living Dead was released in 1968 and is George A Romero's first feature film and kind of the first `proper' zombie film in a way. Read more

Adequate DVD
From some of the reviews I was half-expecting this to be practically unviewable but for the price I was happy to risk it! Frankly, the quality is fine. Read more

Zombies rule!
I'd totally forgotten that I didn't own this DVD until I was watched that Mark Gatiss programme about Horror on BBC4 - if you're a horror fan and didn't see it, I feel for you. Read more

Decent release
People complaining about the difference in length might be ignoring the NTSC/PAL conversion which would shorten a movie by that much, but I'd be happy to accept hard proof of which... Read more

Still the best
This movie is great, a must see for all horror/zombie fans. This is the film that set the bar for all zombie films that followed.

THEIR COMING O GET YOU BARBRA. . . . . . . . .
This is George A Romero's first film and one of his best. It isnt as good as Dawn of the Dead (in my opinion) but is far better than Day of the Dead! Read more
