While I can respect what this movie brought to popular culture, and while the movie itself is certainly not a bad one, there are long stretches of simply being fed expository dialogue from a radio or TV, and that is not fun.

If I ever die, I want to come back as a giant waterballoon. Then I would jump off a building and splash all over an unsuspecting victim. Would that be suicide? I hope not, I don't want to go to waterballoon hell. It probably sucks.

I expected a bit more from this highly praised horror film. Started off nicely, but in the end, I found the characters to be silly and tedious, which made its horror aspect less frightening. Luckily the film lasted 90 minutes, and considering its low budget, I have to praise it substantially. See it on a rainy day...

Very gory for its time and controversial in that it had a black man as the hero, this is the original subversive horror movie. Ben - the calm, resourceful, and heroic black lead - spat in the face of the racist sensibilities of the time by displaying courage and leadership against all odds in a movie riddled with criticism of contemporary American society. Great stuff.

It simply comes down to plain great storytelling - the zombies are almost a non-factor as we watch those claustrophobic scenes inside the house where people argue, fear what is going on, doubt each other, remain glued to updates about the situation, help each other and have to work together to remain alive. A mix of news reports, fighting back zombies and fighting among the survivors helps keep things varied and the ending is a shocker. It is a really gripping, entertaining piece of cinema.

It's not aged well. It is still leagues ahead of similar low-budget horror flicks, but it still manages to drag on and never really illustrate the immediacy of the zombie threat until the very end. It doesn't help that the cast is at best passable in terms of acting ability. But all its flaws aside, it's always fun to watch a master like Romero bring to life an excellent script and brilliant direction. He does a lot better with a bigger budget though; so if you have to choose, see Dawn instead.
