 Rated 5 out of 5!
I was terrified...
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. - Rated 5 out of 5!
Wow, I expected Pulp but got The Golden Stuff.
Before having seen this classic piece of film-making, I expected all those zombie ’’flicks’’ to be the same. Prejudices are so bad, so I ditched them all. Night of the Living Dead is quality, provided you watch the proper version. By all means skip/burn the 30th Edition like the plague! Lots of comments on that already, so...Suspense of disbelief is hardly necessary because it’’s all so realistic. No tongue-in-cheek fun, this is. No--gripping, hard-edged classic cinema is what you get. I didn’’t even miss the colors (joking here; I watch as many black and white films as those with the pretty colors). And then the ending... I saw it all just before it happened on the screen (the right time). Just this ending confirms my belief that the people who made Night of ... are brilliant and know what they are doing. ... And after this you just have to go and see the second part of this trilogy, which is even better, can you believe that?  Rated 4 out of 5
The classic zombie movie
(SPOILERS! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!!) The plot is simple; one day zombies wake up and start eating people. But then there are complications. Survivers manage to get to a farm house and hold up there. Then the people start hiding secrets from each other. The idea is that if they all worked together they very well could have survived, but they are all selfish and there for they all died. George Romero also looks at mob mentality. The mob of humans are just as bad, if not worst they are making sport of the zombies, hanging them up in trees and using them as target practice. You have to wonder who’’s more dangourous, the zombies who are obaying primative instincts, or the cruel mobs who are exterminating the zombies. I guess I was wrong, maybe this movie isn’’t so simple after all. The only thing i didn’’t like about the movie is that it is horribly dated, it is definatly a movie from the late sixties.
