Review of Night of the Living Dead (1968) by Archibald T — 22 Mar 2011
A brother and sister get more than they bargain for when they visit the grave of their father. It was a wreath, a simple wreath to place on the grave. Another person wondering the cemetary turns out to be a biter, not the vampire kind.
The brother tries helping his sister to ward off this attacker, but poor Johnny hits his head on a gravestone knocking himself out. Now they're really coming to get Barbara. She holds up in an empty farmhouse until luckily somebody shows up to help her.
The zombies are constant and are drawn to the house like moth to a flame. When more people emerge from the downstairs cellar, they try to help. When a plan to fuel up a truck fails, all hope is almost lost. If only a group of people with shotguns and torches would show up to help these people.
As each member of the house is slowly picked off (no pun intended) only one survives. He sees a band of gun toting rednecks while looking out the window, picking off zombies. He's saved! (Gun shot hits the guy in the head). Damn! Well, he was almost saved.
A classic, of course.
