Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 black-and-white independent horror film directed by George A. Romero. Early drafts of the script were titled Monster Flick, but it was known as Night of Anubis and Night of the Flesh Eaters during production. The film stars Duane Jones as Ben and Judith O'Dea as Barbra. The plot revolves around the mysterious reanimation of the dead and the efforts of Ben, Barbra and five others to survive the night while trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse.
Night of the Living Dead was strongly criticized at the time of its release for its graphic content. In 1999 the Library of Congress entered it into the United States National Film Registry with other films deemed 'historically, culturally or aesthetically important.'
The film had a tremendous impact on the culture of Vietnam-era America. It is so thoroughly laden with critiques of late-1960s American society that one historian described the film as 'subversive on many levels.'

Rating: - Fast Shipping and Great Value
The Dawn of the Dead Prequel from 30+ years prior! George A. Romero is a mastermind and this movie is testament to that.
You can spend $4.99 on a copy of this movie and what you will get is exactly what you pay for. I would recommend that you spend the $14.95 on this copy. It does the movie justice. The picture quality is good and the sound transfer is crisp and clean. I purchased this movie on a Monday and it was delivered by Thursday of the same week.
Rating:  - Social commentary + Horror = George A. Romero's Classic
This is a classic and really the grand-daddy of the modern zombie movies. "Night of the Living Dead" is the most serious of the Romero Quartet (Night, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead & Land of the Dead). Night, like Robert Wise's "The Haunting", is shot in B/W, and this adds dramatically to the feel of the film. Compare the B/W version to the colorized version and it's clear which one is more cinematically creative (the former!!). Well scripted and acted, Night is a must see during the Halloween ...

Rating: - Think Outside The Box
This film has so many levels...
It is one of those horror films that require multiple viewings to appreciate its Idiosyncrasies. It is so much more than a zombie movie. This movie is a testament to the times. The point of this movie is as undead as its characters...If we do not work together, we die together.
The premise is that Evil is stalking humanity. The film opens with "zombies" attacking people and comes together with the main characters finding refuge in an abandoned ... Read More
Rating: - Finally, Romero's Classic Gets Proper DVD Treatment
For a film that is widely considered a horror classic, "Night of the Living Dead" has been handled with surprisingly poor care in the home video market over the years.
For the longest time, the film was generally only available on VHS copies that could often be found in the bargain bins of your local video store. The reason for the cheap price became apparent after viewing. The picture quality of many of these editions was so poor that viewing them made you feel as if you were watching the movie ... Read More
