Review of Night of the Living Dead (1968) by Brent D — 01 Nov 2010
A zombie movie classic that paved the way for George Romero to become the most recognized name in zombie filmdom. Although Barbara isn't given much to do in this except whine and cringe, the stellar jobs by everyone else make up for it, especially Duane Jones as hero everyman Ben and Keith Wayne as teen lover Tom.
Even more pleasant was the seeing of original moments which were referenced in later zombie films (primarily Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead" remake). The weird thing is, even though the zombies aren't really that dessicated or gross (the worst had what appeared to be spaghetti sauce thrown on their face), their singlemindedness and persistance keeps them creepy.
