Summary: Living Dead finally dies
Review: Let the buyer beware: While this disc contains two versions of the 1968 horror classic, both are ersatz. One version is a "special" edition, with newly shot footage concocted by one cowriter and one coproducer (director George A. Romero was not involved in any way). Aside from being unforgivably shoddy and stupid, the new footage also diminishes the original's claustrophobic menace. The other version presents the film as it was intended--except that it replaces the original's cheesy, library-derived score with a cheesier original one.

Summary: mixed opinions
Review: First off, I love this movie. However, what I always liked was the grainy quality. Much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I felt the poor quality of the movie gave it the creepy feeling. It didn't look like a film, it looked like a home movie a witness to the events might have made. I am not trashing this dvd though. It is probably the best looking copy I have ever seen of NOTLD and the special features are great. I love the DVD but I can never give up my battered VHS copy.

Summary: The "Millennium Edition" is the definitive version
Review: The Millennium Edition is the best DVD version of Night of the Living dead that's currently available. The print looks great, and the commentaries are generally interesting. Since this film is in the public domain, there are many fly-by-night companies that are selling versions with terrible print quality. This version is definitely worth the extra money.

Summary: Millenium Edition DVD
Review: For some unexplained reason, the bodies of the unburied dead are rising up all over the world and attacking the living. A group of seven strangers from different backgrounds find themselves trapped together in an abandoned farmhouse, surrounded by dozens of these flesh-eating ghouls. If they cannot drop their differences and work together, they will never be able to survive the night of the living dead... Night of the Living Dead is not just the best horror movie ever made, but one of the best movies in general. Unlike many horror movies, this one is not just for cheap thrills. Released in 1968, the movie is a metaphor for the Vietnam War (the zombies symbolizing the Communist takeover, and the moral of the movie being that one cannot defeat the enemy if one does not learn to live together). George Romero makes one of these movies per decade, and each installment has a hidden social commentary like that. In the sequel Dawn of the Dead, for example, the zombies wander aimlessly around an abandoned shopping mall and symbolize braindead consumers. I like that not once in the entire movie does anyone say the word "zombie". It's "those things" or "ghouls". When you hear the word "zombie", you think of monsters, but these are not monsters. They do not go out of their way to do evil; this is just the way they are, and they can't help that. These are just your neighbors, your family, your friends...turned bad by some mysterious force of nature. They used to be just like you....and when you die, you will become just like them. Another thing I like is that never, in Romero's entire Living Dead trilogy, do they explain what is bringing the dead back to life. Each movie gives a different theory (no more room in hell, punishment from god, chemical or biological warfare, aliens, etc), but they never give an OFFICIAL explanation. I like that because it lets you personalize it. If you don't believe in God, for instance, then the punishment from God explanation isn't for you, and you can choose a different one.... Also, I think it's just creepier that way. How are we supposed to prevent this crisis from happening in real life, if we don't even know what caused it?? Contrary to every other zombie movie ever made, when you get bit by a zombie you do NOT turn into a zombie yourself. When you get bit, you eventually die from all the diseases that a rotting corpse carries...but it's something ELSE that then reanimates you (no more room in hell, punishment from God, etc). If you die IN GENERAL, you become a zombie. If you get hit by a car, you turn into a zombie. If you die of cancer or old age, you become a zombie. If you die of a heart attack, you become a zombie. This is happening all over the world, and nobody can figure out why. When you are reanimated, you are reduced to your most primitive instincts: eating, walking, using primitive tools, etc. Zombies do not have to eat people to survive (because they are already dead); it is just instinct. And also unlike every other zombie movie ever made, they do NOT eat brains (the zombies-brains thing was later introduced in "Return of the Living Dead", which is NOT part of Romero's trilogy), they eat the whole body. Nor do they just eat humans...they eat any living thing they can find (in fact, in Romero's original script for Day of the Dead, he had the scientists domesticating the zombies so they would eat JUST animals). I like that this movie stars a black hero (and it was made BEFORE political correctness), and that the black man (Ben) and the women do all the work while the White male cowers in the cellar whining about how "it's safer down here!" The casting of a black lead was not done for the sake of making a social statement (Duane Jones was just the best actor who auditioned for the part) but nonetheless this movie was truly ahead of its time. The Millenium Edition DVD of this movie is a must for any fan. On the downside, they got rid of the film's graininess (which, I always thought, made the movie creepier) in exchange for a nice, crisp picture, but that is the DVD's only downfall. It has tons of special features (which are listed above, so I won't get into) which make it definately worth the price, even if you already own a vhs copy (like I do). Among those, is the original shooting script (which has a different ending, and some character changes and dialogue changes, but other than that is pretty close to the final film), and two very good commentary tracks (the first is by George Romero and crew, and explains a lot of shots that I *thought* were mistakes...i.e. when Ben says "this place is boarded up pretty well", yet there is an open window right behind him...or at the beginning when Barbara is looking at the dead zombie and it's eye moves...those actually weren't mistakes; the second commentary is by the cast, and is basically just a cast reunion, but fun to listen to nonetheless).

Summary: One of the best films ever.......
Review: One Saturday afternoon my parents went out and left me in the house all alone, and they had just bought me a copy of Night of the Living Dead to keep me busy. I rarely get scared at black and white horror films (Exception-Psycho) but this movie had me jumping around like a fool by the end. Night of the Living Dead was directed by George A Romero who hit with two other sequels in this same field. Shot on a shoe string budget of just over,$110,000,it is the story of the dead coming back to life and eating the living. However that is just the start. In the beginning we meet Barbara (Judith O'Dea) and her brother Johnny (Russell Streiner) and they are attacked in a cemetery where they have come to put flowers on there fathers grave. After Johnny is killed Barbara runs to a nearby farm house. A man passes in looking for gas named Ben (Duane Jones) and he decides that they should just stay put and board up the house for protection. More people show up like the cantancorous Harry Cooper (Karl Hardman),his long suffering wife Helen (Mayilyn Eastman),their daughter who had been bitten by a ghoul, and a young couple who is just scared. Ben and Harry hate one another from the outset and continue to fight throughout the film.
Night of the Living Dead works on many different levels and in the end it is just a really good horror movie, but it also say's somthing about the fact that no matter how bad things are outside, inside we still can't get along. The acting is very good,(Eastman,Hardman,And Streiner all worked off camera as well and were there from the biggining) and the violence is not very graphic although it is at time a little disturbing but if you see Dawn Of The Dead or Day Of The Dead, or even the remake of this film you will be amazed at just how tame it is compared to those others. This is the film that started all the zombie movies and it has never come close to being equeled. Most of the Zombie movies that come out now are nothing more than an excuse show how much blood and gore they can pack into 97 Minutes (See Lucio Fulci's Zombie if you don't believe me).
A remake made of thius film in the early 90's by make-up wizard Tom Savini that was a really bad movie. He should have left well enough alone and remade Plan 9 From Outer Space, at least then we would have seen his movie being intentionally funny........

Summary: If you have any love for NOTLD, you MUST own this edition!
Review: I admit I was skeptical upon hearing about this new 'Millennium Edition' of NOTLD. I do, after all, own some nine different copies of it, on CD, VHS and DVD, all of which contain some technical details that are awful in their own special way. When I finally got this item, however, I was completely blown away within seconds of the film starting. The restoration work from the original 35mm print really shows a lot of love went into this project. It is utterly beautiful. There is so much detail and depth in the image now, it's amazing. The film no longer looks like an amateurish 8 or 16mm, scratched to bits nightmare. It looks like what it really is, a classic. The extra features, from Stephen King's great liner notes to the superb commentaries and interviews, are fantastic. The new 5.1 audio track is pretty excellently realized as well, giving a new dimension to this classic. The original mono track is included as well. All in all, no horror fan's shelf is complete without this disc. No real film fan's shelf is complete without it either. And if you have ever loved this film at all, you HAVE to own it. You will not be disappointed.
