Night of the Living Dead

Rating:
Summary: spooktacular
Review: the anchor bay vhs edition is the best version around made from the original negative. avoid all other versions of this public domain title such as Goodtimes, Media, Video Treasures, Viking home video, Republic and Interglobal. Also avoid the colorized atrocity of this otherwise excellent movie!!!!!

Summary: Night of the Living dead is great
Review: This is one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. It is far better than those sucky modern horror movies like Scream and I know what you did Last Summer. There is very good acting, and the movie is very entertaining. And even though it is in black and white, the lack of color actually enhances the movie experience. Night of the Living Dead rocks!

Summary: A fright eraser!
Review: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is indeed a terrific film but this colorized edition stinks: Duane Jones's face looks like a piece off expired chocolate and the blood looks like strawberry jam. The colour takes away all the chills and thrills leaving it looking like a G-rated Disney film. Horror movie fans, see the black-and-white one instead. END

Summary: An unforgettable horror film
Review: Seven people are trapped inside a farm house to escape an army of flesh eating zombies. George Romero's z-grade zombie flick is easily one the most fasinating horror films ever made. From it's incredibly great, atmospheric music (taken from 50's sci-fi flicks) to it's lovable (and frightning) ending, it's earned a well-deserved place in my heart and I'm sur it has in many other fans of the genre.

Summary: Six people and a sick kid,trapped in a house/zombies outside
Review: Wonderful classic that really makes you think about what you could do trapped in a farm house with hundreds of Zombies surrounding it. It makes you think! END

Rating:
Summary: One of the greatest films ever!
Review: The dead rise and attack the living for an unknown reason. George Romero ignores the voodoo trend in zombies and leaves a mystery behind as to why the dead rise. Seven people trapped inside an old farm house fight off the plague of zombies, while at the same time fighting eachother. The ending is as harrowing and dehumanizang as anything by Stanley Kubrick. Some think it's a bad, low budget movie. That's what can show on the outside. On the inside, it's a movie masterpiece. END

Summary: A horror masterpiece
Review: George Romero's independent 1968 feature "Night of the Living Dead" stands as one of the true masterpieces of horror film. Be warned if you have not seen this film: It is brutal, bleak, and relentless. The film is far more than simple gore and violence, though; it is, whether intentionally or not, a commentary on American society, television, and the decay of the family. While these topics were certainly a propos in 1968, they seem especially salient today. This film was remade in 1990 under the same title and spawned two sequels, "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead." Of the three spawn, "Dawn of the Dead" is easily the best. END

Summary: Don't read this book (late at night)
Review: A Quality novelization of the 1968 classic film by the cowriter of the screenplay. Russo captures the solitary essence of the film while leaving the reader claustrophobic within your own mind. The pacing of the novelization missed the frantic need to survive that one feels for the farmhouse five. All in all, very scary and a real fun read.

Summary: Elite is the only way to go!
Review: There are many versions of "Night of the Living Dead" on DVD but there is only one that you should buy! The Special Collectors Edition put out by Elite is the ONLY version of this film that's worth anything. The transfer to DVD is so sharp and clear that you'll feel like you're watching it for the first time. One word of warning to anyone out there shopping for this DVD, there are many online auction sites and online stores claiming that this DVD is "rare and out of print"...DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT! This DVD is still being produced by Elite but not many online stores keep it in stock. Go ahead and order it...you'll get it. Don't be fooled into paying double for something that you could buy right here at Amazon.com. Oh ...and another thing...stay away from the 30th Annivesary Edition. This DVD is a shameful attempt by the "other half" of the folks who made this movie, to milk more money off it. I think that everyone who bought this horrible thing should break it in half, mail it to John Russo and write a note telling him that this is what you think of his and others attempt at desecrating a horror masterpiece. Russo, Hardman, and Striener need to understand that if they we're really as talented as George Romero then they wouldn't have to keep trying to make money off this film. Romero moved on to bigger and better things (Martin,Dawn of the Dead,Creepshow,Bruiser) but these other guys are still trying to nickel and dime everybody off thier ONE claim to fame.

Summary: If only there were negative Star ratings
Review: If you liked the original, if you care about Romero's work or like any of it even in the tiniest axon in the darkest corner of your mind, I implore, beg, and plead with you NOT TO BUY OR RENT (OR VIEW FOR FREE) THIS ABSOLUTE HATCHET JOB ON THE ORIGINAL (I'm sorry to shout, but it's warranted). The extra footage sucks and is ludicrous. The new music destroys the movie. You're not event given an opportunity to revert to the original. After watching it, squirming in my Barcalounger, feeling like Alex being force to watch ultraviolence in A Clockwork Orange, I destroyed the CD and burned the pieces. I won't have it in my house. I won't sell it to some poor unsuspecting schmuck. I won't even bury it where some future civilization may find it and judge us by it. DESTROY EVERY COPY YOU CAN FIND --- PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
