Summary: Truly a cult classic!!!!!!!!!
Review: When I first saw this film it scared the Hell outa me. George A Remero is a genuis. this film spawned a new genre of horror movies like "Halloween," and The "Evil Dead" series. This film is definately the best horror movie of all time. Although Black and White films are mostly corney and dull, this is one of those films that set the standards for future movies to come.
Anyway, A satalite from outerspace let out radiation from the planet Venus and is causing the dead to walk. Barbara (Judth O'dea) and her brother Johnny (Russel Streiner) go to visit a deseaced family member to pay respects.
Barbara and Johnny were attacked by the famous cemetary ghoul (Bill Heinzman). Barbara Escapes to the car and makes it to a nearby farmhouse only to meet her hero Ben (Duane Jones) who helps her through this incredible ordeal. later they find out five people are in the basement hiding out. Ben and the others must come together to defeat these terrible flesheating creatures outside. This is my favorite film of all time and I defenitally recommend it. I give it two thumbs up. I also liked the remake in 1990 by Tom Savini. He did an exellent job of bringing back the characters although it was missing the erie atmosphere the original had. Savini's good, but he'll never be a George Remero.

Summary: The Quintessential Horror Movie
Review: this review refers to the MILLENNIUM EDITION of this movie. this is the quintessential horror movie. this is the one that ressurrected horror films as a popular genre. it was filmed in gorgeous definitive black & white. this is truly director George Romero's MASTERPIECE. filmed in 1968, it still endures as a true classic horror movie. it doesn't date at all. when compared to today's horror films, it "holds its own". it blends drama, suspense and graphic violence perfectly. one scene in particular is still excessively graphic and gruesome even today. some scenes including this one are difficult to watch.

as for the DVD, the picture transfer is excellent for a film over 35 years old. the audio is just as good. this one is a definite must for anyone who likes horror films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The original is always best!!!!!!!!!
Review: Night of the living Dead is the best horror movie picture of all time in my eyes. I give it 5 stars for its creepy soundtrack and its great one of a kind feel. It starts with Barbara(Judith O'dea) and her brother Johnny going to visit thier mothers grave to pay thier respects, when all of a sudden "Ther're comming to get you Barbara" says Johnny just fooling around. and it actually turns out to be the creepiest Zombie of the film. Anyway Johnny gets what was coming to him and Barbara gets away and runs to a nearby farmhouse where Ben(Duane Jones)helps board down the doors and windows to keep the flesh eaters out. later on they find out there were five people in the basement hiding. The whole plot is seven people in an isolated farmhouse trying to stay out of reach of the flesh eating ghouls outside the house for the night. The film that started the best and coolest Dead series of all-time, thanks to George A. Remero.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can never beat the original
Review: Thanks to George Romero, I lost many night sleep after seeing this movie as a kid. The black and white filming kind of gave it a creepy "true story" feel. I think this is the most effective zombie movie ever and it still gives me the creeps.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The absolute best edition of this movie available on DVD
Review: There are quite a few versions of zombie classic Night of the Living Dead '68 lingering out there. Those of us that were unfortunate enough to score the 30th Anniversary 1998 edition are probably still cringing at the new soundtrack and awfully acted brand new scenes, filmed exclusively for the 30th anniversary edition. Millenium edition, however, makes up for the past mistakes.

With absolute crystal clarity on the picture, Millenium Edition delivers probably the cleanest and sharpest picture I've ever seen for this film. Scenes that were in pitch blackness in the movie are now alive and bright with great detail. The sound has also been considerably improved, with crystal clarity and very minimal distortion. I've never seen a black and white movie look or sound so good.

As for the film itself, this is the original classic that we all know and love. Probably one of the scariest movies of all time, Night of the Living Dead hit in 1968 with alot of shock. When it went on to become a cult classic, it ended up becoming one of the most popular horror films ever, spawning spin offs and lesser known and appreciated sequels that never lived up to the original. Millenium edition gives us that very same film, with none of the extra garbage thrown into the 30th anniversary edition.

As for extras, this DVD is very well treated. There are video interviews with some stars, as well as an interview recorded with star Duane Jones, which would unfortunately be his final interview not long before he unfortunately passed away in the late 1980's. In this interview Duane Jones talks about his favorite moments from the film, as well as some personal experiences he had as a professor at Old Westbury college here on Long Island in regards to the film. Other features include the hilarious parody 'Night of the Living Bread' and a clip from one of Romero's early movies.

Overall, this is the absolute best version of Night of the Living Dead that you can own. If you own any other version, don't hesitate to pick this one up as well...it is well worth the money and stands out as the best edition of this movie currently in circulation. Don't miss it!!

Summary: Best Zombie Mooovie Of All Time
Review: This is one of the best Horror Films of all time. The only reason i saw this film is when i asked my mom to rent me return of the living dead. She made a mistake and got The Night Of The Living Dead. I almost didn't watch it because it is black and white. But five minutes into the movie i was hooked till the end. After that i saw the other 2 dawn of the dead and day of the. They were in color but not as good. George a Romero is the best for making this film possible. Buy it now if you dare!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: This 30th Anniversary Edition is excellent. I love the new scenes that they wanted to film 30 years ago but couln't until now. They didn't massacre or ruin any of the film, this only enhances the excitment of the film. The short featurette is interesting. The musical score is good and adds a little somethin' extra. Overall a good DVD. It would of been nice to have an interview with George romero.

Review: 'Night of the Living Dead is a classic. I don't need to give a description of the story line, as I'm sure all you fans already know what a fine, interesting, intriging, creative, classic of a film this is. The print of the picture is good, the two commentary tracks are good and informative. Overall I'm pleased with this Millenium Edition DVD of NOTLD.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: I liked Night of the Livng dead. It wasn't the best horror movie I've seen. It is probably a buy movie. Don't even see the sequels. A classic movie. Few people own it. The effects were cool, and it is a very good low budget horror movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The horror classic that revolutionized the genre
Review: First off I will state that of all the versions of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead on DVD (and there are quite a few), this Millennium Edition is the one to own and has a plethora of extras that long time fans of the film will drool over. Now onto the film. George Romero forever revolutionized the horror genre with this chilling story of a group of people barracading themselves inside a house to withstand a horde of re-animated corpses who have a taste for human flesh. However, what set Night of the Living Dead apart from other horror films (and many other following horror films to feature zombies) is that Romero uses the people trapped in the house as a case study on human nature, and the results prove more chilling than the flesh eating ghouls trying to break in. Also when watching the film, as one previous reviewer has already stated, the word "zombie" is never mentioned once. Over the years many films featuring zombies would follow, such as City of the Living Dead, the gore classic Dead Alive, and Dan O'Bannon's homage to this film Return of the Living Dead; and while they were all great in they're own right, the original Night of the Living Dead remains a horror staple and one of the most chilling films of all time. Also worth checking out is legendary gore/makeup effect master Tom Savini's remake of the film which was released in the 90's.
