Summary: THE BEST VERSION!!!!
Review: This is definately a classic, and very SCARY!!! Not really bloody, but definately a scary one. Don't expect academy award acting, but it's decent enough. This movie is only REALLY SCARY if you WATCH IT ALONE IN THE DARK! That's what I did, and I don't know what it was about this movie the scared me so much but it did, so I'd highly recommend this movie to a true horror fan, and also check out The Exorcist (Scariest Movie I've Seen) and The Evil Dead (VERY VERY SCARY) then get alone, turn off the lights and prepare for a great scare. watch them in this order though: 1. Night of the Living Dead, 2. The Exorcist, and 3. The Evil Dead. That way they all have equal representation. Have Fun!

Summary: THE Best Horror Classic of All Time
Review: This is simply the best horror movie ever created.

At the end of all analysis and accolades, the rawness and invetiveness is nothing short of remarkable.

Highly recommended and a must have for true horror fans of all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dead still lives on as best of horror
Review: This is the film that started it all. Horror movies have mocked it since--with few coming close to its "raw" terror. George Romero's Night of the Living Dead is probably the best B-movie ever made and is still the most stylish, sinister horror flick produced. It isn't the story per se that makes Night a classic. Night chronicles the war waged by seven average joes holed up in a remote farmhouse with little power and less hope as an army of flesh-eating zombies approach. Ironically, it is the lack of high-tech special effects that make Night unforgettable. Romero's shoestring production values(such as black and white film and seemingly amateur actors) makes the entire proceeding feel real, not like a movie. And the carnage, while gruesome, is remarkably restrained in its overall use, making Night even more realistic. It is also noteworthy that Night made a bit of film history in its casting of an African American as its leading man. With the exception of Sidney Poitier, most 60's black actors were never portrayed as powerful, let alone given the helm of a movie. Duane Jones's character is resoruceful and powerful and is a forceful presence that easily dwarfs his acting counterparts. All told, Night still lives on as the best of the horror genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good horror movie
Review: This is with difference the best zombie horror movie ever made, from the moment we see the first zombie, until the siege to the house. The black and white makes the movie more mysterious, because you never know what's going to happen after. Maybe for problems in the budget the story seems incomplete when one of the character, explains what did he saw when zombies attack a truck. I wish we could see that scene (if it exists). Years after they made the remake, good enough, but not as George A Romero's original. If you want a good zombie movie buy this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exelent
Review: This movie is the best Zombie film. The charactors are great. The zombies rock. This film spawned many sequels, one was Dawn of the Dead, then Day of the Dead, and three films called Return of the Living Dead. And now there are two remakes, one of this movie, and on of Dawn of the Dead( Very recent). This movie is best out of all those. A must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MILLENIUM EDITION IS THE BEST DVD SO FAR!!
Review: This review is mostly for the dvd. I don't think i have to mention hwo good the movie is because everyone knows its a classic horror film. Anyway, many people are always confused on whether which version to get. There are so many out there it is frustrating. But let me re-assure you night of the living dead fans that the Millenium Edition is the way to go. First off, You finally get to see the original classic in the most clear and amazing dvd transfer ever. Great sound, no dark or muddy looking scenes. Everything is crystal clear. The Anchor Bay versions out there are garbage, they added all these un-edited and terrible scenes. They just ruin the classic, don't waste your money on the 30th anniversary edition or limited edition. Pure TRASH! The bonus material on the millenium edition is also better, an interesting interview with Duane Jones, two insightful commentaries, some of George A. Romero's lost films including "NIGHT OF THE LIVING BREAD". My only problem with this dvd is that they should of added a nice long documentary on this classic film. Other than that it is the best version out there!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: real horror
Review: this was the first horror movie i ever saw when i was a kid and have been hooked ever since. i still think to this day of an escape plan if in fact this really did happen (hopefully not but you never know) but when i watched it i wondered why didnt they have an attic? perfect hiding place the zombies wouldnt have been able to get up there, in the 1990 remake there was an attic all along, that annoyed me, why didnt they just go up into the freakin attic! but anyway good movie minus the attic.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New Zombies Suck
Review: when the world of zombie movies nowdays is plagued with wild-eyed 100-mph superhuman zombies, they just dont make them like they used to. this is one of the best horror films ive ever seen. of course my favorite zombie was bill heinzman(opening cemetary ghoul). barbra was an excellent character. i liked the way she worked herself "out of her head". this is not a scarie movie, yet it is a classic and must see for any zombie movie fans. and by the way...theyre coming to get you barbra.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW THIS ROCKS!!!
Review: Yes some of the acting is hokey, but due to the intense atmosphere you won't care! This is one of the scariest movies in existence and is a classic. This is the best version of the film, so I'd definately recommend this one. This is right up there with The Exorcist and The Shining as one of the scariest movies ever made! Watch it alone in the dark, I dare you!
