Summary: The ONLY version you need to own!
Review: If you're like me, you're wondering which DVD version to get of this zombie classic. Trust me, get the Millennium Edition. I've seen the movie countless times, and it has never looked better than on this version. Not only is the picture great, but the sound is a nice little treat as well. Crammed full of bonus materials, this disc will keep you busy for awhile. Stay away from any other DVD release of this movie. GET THE MILLENNIUM EDITION.

Summary: A landmark Horror Movie
Review: I've been putting off writting a review for this movie, as it's very hard to put into words why I like this movie so much. Perhaps its my deep down thoughts concerning the human race, and how much I loathe evryday life. The notion of having everything you know throw into chaos and living in a nightmare world with danger lurking around everycorner is a very intriguing scenario. Its the sort of fuel that keeps my zombie-fiending ablaze for as long as I'm alive. This movie paints such a painting with a furious ambition to drive itself into the very thoughts and the very souls of its viewer's. The striking black and white does much more than illustrate the director's vision; it complements it quite well, the director doing his part to drive the characters and story, and the camera putting these people and places in a place from which they never shall escape: in a classic vision of toil and fear. It works in surprisingly subtle ways, and its hard to draw your attention from the story and characters, but the camerawork really shines when what we see is the same thing the character's see; their impending doom. The zombies stand out as the unstoppable force which throws all familiarity offcource and sends our ideas of safety to the wind. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS AS THE BEST ZOMBIE FILM EVER, AND A STRONG CONTENDOR FOR MY FAVORITE FILM. A+

Summary: You can never go wrong with a classic...
Review: Well I have just finished viewing one of the thee best horror movies EVER!!! George R. you are a pure genius. This movie is scary, gory in a sense, and just perfect. They don't use complete gore to scare you. George just gathered alot of zombies or ghouls and well that made you either extremely scared to the point of wetting yourself or in my case you yelled oh Sh*t! The character developement and use of satire added much to this movie. I just can't express how pleased I am that i spend about eight dollars on this great movie! Well I EXTREMELY recommend Night of the Living Dead... its great!

Summary: From Beyond the Grave...
Review: 1968 would happen to be a year when social stigmas were at a high and everyone was looking for an escape, either through mind-altering drugs or at the local cineplex. George A. Romero and a band of friends in and around Pennsylvania happened to have the perfect escape. From the opening credits to the final onslaught by the living dead on a small farmhouse inhabited by a colorful array of characters, "Night of the Living Dead" takes the viewer on a trip through fear and hidden social agendas. In 1968, films were afraid to depict the horrors that graced the screne in Romero's film. And with the added effect of shooting on black and white film stock, it was a ground-breaking venture which opened the floodgates for future shockers in a similar vein. Many watch "Night of the Living Dead" as a film about a group of people trapped in a house, being terrorized by the walking dead. But Romero had to add his own touch. By analyzing the film, one can see the numerous social situations Romero put his characters in, dealing with racial tension, designation of individual class structure and the fear of war. To some, "Night" is a simple film, while to others, like myself, it is a work of art, depicting the fears of the world as seen by Romero himself. In 1993, I had the opportunity to attend the 25th Anniversary of "Night of the Living Dead" at the Pittsburgh Expomart. The whole cast was present, except for the late great Duane Jones. For three days, I chatted with..., watched previews with..., and even took a cruise on the river with the cast and crew of "Night". I don't know who was more surprised by the turnout at the convention; myself or those who worked on the film. While talking to Marilyn Eastman, she stated that she was surprised to see the number of people who their small, independent film had touched. Karl Hardman added that it was nice to be able to give something to the film world in the form of "Night of the Living Dead". Through all of the work that Romero has done, one can look on "Night of the Living Dead" as a masterpiece in the realm of cinema. It goes beyond the realm of horror and touches in the realm of art. How many more films can one look at and see the influence it has had on others. All in all, Romero and his crew deserve the credit and recognition as filmmakers...And beyond that, as artists.

Summary: The alpha and omega of the living dead
Review: The first time I saw "Night of the Living Dead" was at my own house, in the middle of the day, on a VHS tape I rented from a video store. The second time was on one of the worst excuses for a DVD I had ever seen: A Hollywood Classics edition of NOTLD that my buddy Jon had picked up for six bucks at Best Buy. It was worth every penny. The quality of it was so awful. The sound was off key, the picture looked like it was a digital transfer from an old tape someone had left in their garage to go through a few freezes, and the general look of it was terrible. So I say all hail the geniuses at Elite Entertainment who took it upon themselves to reissue this classic of horror films with a look and sound quality better than it originally had. The THX transfer of the film is impeccable. It looks simply amazing. But anyway, the reason I'm writing this review is because I've written three reviews for "Dawn of the Dead," two for "Day of the Dead," and yet I've never even touched on George Romero's original film that started it all. Back in 1968, George Romero and his buddies were directing local commercials, using the money they made during the day to film "Night of the Living Dead" after hours. The story of a group of recluses trapped in an abandoned farm house out in the middle of Nowheresville, Pennsylvania with the living dead pounding on their doors, turning them against one another in a way that reflected the paranoia of the times. That's how I would've described the film to a potential investor. Oh yeah, did I mention that they were going to break all ground previously laid in the field of gore in cinema? The sight of former humans ripping flesh from char-fried limbs and a little girl laying waste to her mother with a gardening trowel are among the blood-caked spectacles in this film. Shot in a grisly black and white that further accents the hopelessness in that house, "Night" is more about evoking the emotions of the humans as they fear the unknown and each other, more than the terror inflicted by the zombies outside. Throughout the entire trilogy of the Living Dead, George Romero has used his zombies to symbolize what human beings are becoming, as opposed to using them to instill fear in us. The real horror lies in that human beings, so involved with themselves, are becoming zombies, and that, if we can't work together toward a common goal like the people trapped in this ramshackle little farmhouse, then we deserve to be ripped to shreds and eaten alive by our fellow man. It's our fate if we can't be civilized. If the zombies do really represent us, just on a lower evolutionary chain of civility, acting merely on instinct, then there's another point to be made, too. As great apes evolving into who we are now, humans worked together much easier than they seem to now. The instincts of these zombies is grotesque and stomach churning, but they are blameless; victim to their own way of half-life and hopeless to learn more in their search for food. Yet, they work together; they don't prey on each other. Not like the civilized humans trapped in the house who can't stop fighting with each other, thinking only of saving their own behinds. And as the last shot is fired, the last survivor drops to the floor. We don't deserve to survive. We let our paranoia and selfishness defeat us in the end. Wow.

Summary: I was terrified...
Review: I'm usually not too big on horror films, but I thought that is movie if from 1968, "how scary can it be?" It doesn't have the big cinematic effects that movies have today, which I think made me uneasy. And it just got more terrifying from there. Being the over-analytical person that I am, I wondered how were the zombies able to break the door. I mean, c'mon, its a solid wood door on an old farmhouse, but like I said, I'm over-analytical. When everyone was turning on each other, it reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". I definately didn't expect the ending.
