Summary: Still a Night for Horror Fans to Live For.
Review: While the low-budget aspects of the film make it easy to wriggle out of the implied and partially shown gruesomeness, I say stop taking the easy way out-- people.

Pretend you have never seen a film like this ever before. A film that dares to show you some truly shocking scenes of gore and cannibalism. A film which portrays a world gone mad, where the dead rise from the grave, where a women is so scared she wanders around in a state of shock and the person who helps her is a young black man. It's the late 60's remember.

This film is going to go too far, it's going to show you things you have never been shown before. It's going to keep the tension going not for just a few minutes but for much of it's running time. Yeah, some of the acting is really over the top, but give the amateur actors their 15 minutes of fame and realize with the equivalent amount that the recent Blair Witch Project film was made for, George Romero and company made this classic-- which has inspired hundreds of horror films and nearly as many film-makers. The 30th Anniversary edition gives you a pristine print of the film and an only at times interesting commentary track that features the co-writers and some of the cast but NOT George Romero. The recently shot footage that is inserted into the film doesn't work. Cheap Junk to market this DVD and make money for the co-writer of the original film which is now in public domain. However, you can and should watch the film without the newly shot footage.

Summary: The REAL original
Review: When you think of Zombie movies, the first on that comes to mind is of course "Night of the Living Dead". Nobody really identifies with other classics such as "Plague of the Zombies" or Fulci's "Zombie", and I'll tell you why. As a Zombie movie fanatic, this appeals to me because of the realism. Now obviously the dead will never walk, that of course is fiction, but if they did, how would the world react? The rednecks would have barbeques and shoot outs, the media would go nuts, and if you yourself were in this predicament, what would you do? This movie explains it best (along with its sequels "Dawn/Day of the Dead"). I was uncertain about the new footage though, it seemed out of place, the Reverend was a little too much, they should have left him out, the rest was great though. I only think they should have shot the new footage with the same grain and grit as the old one. It doesn't seem right to go from clean and shine to grain and grit, then back and forth and so on. They should have just remastered the score, added the new zombie scenes, and left it at that, the epilogue should have stayed out of the film. Also, it seemed like they dragged out the whole "Beakman's Diner" incident too long. I mean, first you hear the black guy explain it, then you hear it on the radio, TWICE, then you see the beakman's diner zombies, and then they added those two gravediggers who talk about it. Too redundent, They shouldn't have tampered with a classic.

Summary: A horror classic that looks great on DVD
Review: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a classic horror film. It deals with a night that the dead walked the earth. No problem right? WRONG! The dead are now out to get the flesh of the living! Seven people are stranded in a farmhouse in rural Pennslyvania. They are surrounded by the living dead. They must try to survive. Their struggle to survive through the night is the night of the living dead, a horror classic.

The original version of the film was low budget with poor picture and sound. This DVD is of far better quality than the original. The picture quality is improved as is the sound. Scenes were added to this cut that would have been ok to keep in the original. Other features were added that are great too. All in all, this special version of a classic only serves to make it better.

THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD DVD is a great thing to have. If you enjoy great horror movies, this is a film for you. So if you have means of doing so, I suggest buying this version of the movie today.

Summary: scariest movie ever!
Review: Well, I think it is, but maybe the Excorcist or Amityville 2 would at be better choices, I'm not sure...All I know is, there are only two things that really, REALLY scare me in movies, and that's demon posession, because it's real, and radiation zombies, because Romero painted such a realistic picture! Anyway, this is definitely one of my top scariest films! The sequels go downhill, but aren't horrible. Actually, Dawn of the Dead is pretty good. In this film though, you really feel everything the survivors do. You really feel trapped in that house, and you are also trying to come up with ways to escape. It makes you think about so many different things. It's truly horrifying in every way! I highly recommend this film if you want to get scared!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Professor Played A Zombie In This Film
Review: Yes, it's true. He plays the first zombie with the "hambone" who approaches the house when the two are trapped in it. Despite this interesting little fact, I truly believe this is the most disturbing film of all time, and nothing can compare to it, now now, not ever. Not even Raimi's Evil Dead can compare to it and that's saying a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What more could you ask for?
Review: Social tension, over the top acting,and oh yes a cadre of squirrel munching, bone gnawing zombies sprinkled with a hefty dose of political intrigue. A true classic the black and white stock used to shoot the film lent itself well to the bleak atmosphere of the farm house, and I'm sure that it was a hell of a lot cheaper than shooting in color.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best horror film EVER!
Review: Despite a low budget,no color,no Hollywood stars, this is simply the best of it's kind . The newer version does'nt compare to this original thriller. Around Halloween it is a necessity. But any rainy night will do,especially in the fall season. Perfect characters, setting, action and twist at the end is a 5 star forever!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a classic horror story
Review: If you are a fan of horror movies, you must see "Night of the Living Dead." This movie is an attention grabber right from the start. It vividly potrays a story where victims are trapped in an old house trying to escape the living dead. It's an interesting picture of how people can turn against each other over the smallest things, when they should try and stay together to keep alive. the ending is astonishingly an ironic one. it gives a twist of irony to the movie. Don't buy the remakes or the colorized version. they only downgrade the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely the best!
Review: This has to be one of the most brilliant movies ever created. It has a real feel to it that draws you in and grabs and does not want to let go. There are few horror movies today that can boast the chills and realism that this one has. If you are looking for a thrill ride in terror then this is a must have but you should get 2 copies because you'll wear em out watching them. Also has 2 well done sequels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A masterpiece.
Review: George Romeros masterpiece, a classic everyone should see. The lowbudget-look and that it's played serious adds to the great atmosphere in the film. I don't know how to describe the film and at the same time make it justice so I'll end here. Just get the film and watch it yourself.
