5.0 out of 5 stars The most influential horror movie ever made, 4 Aug 2002

By	Nick Trebert - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night Of The Living Dead [1968] [DVD] (DVD)

"They had a bloodthirsty lust for human flesh!", The tagline from the absolute classic Night Of The Living Dead, directed by one of the most influential horror directors of all time, George A. Romero.

This film is oone of the scariest Zombie flicks of all time, despite the hundreds of terrible zombie-based imitations of this classic. The film was made at a time of film revoltion in the world, and was the first to graphically show explicit scenes of people being eaten alive.

The storyline is an original one and has got some great ideas added into it. The radiation from a fallen satellite causes the recently deceased to rise from their burial places, and seek living flesh as food.

The film starts with two young siblings who visit their mothers grave, three hours from their home. The brother,Jonny, starts teasing his sister, Barbara (Judith O'Dea, saying that theman accross the graveyardis aftr her. She starts apologising to the man when he jumps on her and tries to eat her. Jonny fends him off as Barbara runs. She ends up in a farmhouse with six other people. They barricade themselves in, to try and survive from the onslaught of hoarding zombies.

Stomach-churning tension non-stop throught the film, mixed with eerie tunes, make this a truly terrifying film.

I reccomend this to any true fan of the horror genre.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware!!, 1 Oct 2005

By	D. Morris (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Night Of The Living Dead [1968] [DVD] (DVD)

AS previous posters have noted there are loads of different editions now out of Night Of the Living Dead. If you love the original version of this film and do NOT want the god-awful special editions with either the horrible 'new-score' synth soundtrack (Scott Vladimir Licina) which ruins the film. Or the mind-bendingly bad new 18 minutes of extra footage re-shot in the late 90's which is even worse (thanks to John Russo), then be very careful which version you buy.

I bought the ORACLE version - mistake - no new footage but DOES have the new score. If you have never seen this film before then please make sure you get hold of the original un-butchered version. The best version available is still the ELITE millenium edition (this is NOT the 'special' edition) but just remastered with cleaned up picture and sound. This is sadly still unavailable in the UK but can be bought from the US and played on multi-region DVD players. NOTLD is still, in my opinion, one of the best horror films ever made but has been messed around with by people whom know nothing about good film-making and should be fed to a mob of starved zombies.

I'm giving this edition 1 star - should be a 5 of course but its been hacked to death.

WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU SCOTT VLADIMIR LICINA AND JOHN RUSSO!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars truly influential horror., 22 Oct 2003

By	S. Hapgood "www.sjhstrangetales.com" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Night Of The Living Dead [VHS] [1968] (VHS Tape)

I'll never forget seeing "Night Of The Living Dead" for the first time, it delivered jolts all along the line. From the eerie opening scene in the graveyard when the zombie is sighted stumbling noiselessly through the headstones, to the claustrophobic scenes in the farmhouse, to the (much-copied) documentary-style newsroom scenes, this is first-class stuff, even if it was made on a shoestring budget. I find it hard to believe that anyone could not be unnerved by some of the dialogue used in the newsroom, because, far-fetched as the whole premise is, they make it seem so real! The remake in the early 1990s wasn't as bad as some would have you believe, but it simply lacked the full horror factor of the black-and-white low-budget original, and was nowhere near as good as "Dawn Of The Dead".
