Synopsis

George Romero's Night of the Living Dead is a low-budget 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 relations were 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 try endlessly 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely Misleading!, 5 Nov 2007
By Andrew Maden "Zombie Andy" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dont get me wrong before i start, i am a absolute romero nut and love zombie films, night of the living dead is my favourite movie of all time, i even run a website dedicated to it, now what i dont like about this item is the way it is advertised is very, VERY misleading... for a start its one disk only IT IS NOT TWO DISK as i found out when i received mine from amazon... secondly i resent the fact its advertised as a special edition, there are absolutly no special features apart from the documentry which is available on other DVD's, if you want this movie i advise the special edition version which comes in a metal tin, it has lots of features and is well worth the price. this one, STINKS.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one that started it all.., 5 Oct 2009
By Octo7 (Dublin) - See all my reviews
Although the special edition in the tin box is a nice package with some good features (as the other reviewer pointed out) I advise fans to purchase this one instead. Why? The Contender edition in the tin has 5 minutes cut from the film despite being labeled 'extensively restored and remastered'. For those in Europe with region 2 DVD players this may be the only way of seeing the definitive uncut version of the film on DVD as the disc is region free.

It should also be noted that the violent scenes (feeding after gas-tank explosion and stabbing scene in basement are both edited shorter) cut from the Contender DVD were not cut by the BBFC so why it happened is anyone's guess.

5.0 out of 5 stars After all this time..., 23 Dec 2008
By seun (England) - See all my reviews
...this is still one of the most frightening and influential films ever made. Doubtless many people won't agree because it's black and white, low budget and doesn't have good looking teenagers screaming every five seconds, but for those of us with imaginations (what would you do? Barricade yourself in the cellar as Cooper suggests or stay above with Ben and watch the living dead advance?), it's simply terrifying to picture this happening.

There are several releases of this kicking about as it fell into public domain years ago, so be careful you don't end up with a crappy version. On the other hand, any copy of this classic should be treasured. And if it isn't, I'll break into your house and eat your brains.
