It's hard to look at this film now and fully grasp Romero's genius in elevating monster movie thrills by infusing them with social weight. For example, during the Vietnam War, Americans would gather each day to watch the latest reports on the evening news. Here, Romero uses that feeling of being held captive by outside horror & makes it tangible. While his indie filmmaking often gets kudos, his forward thinking in casting African American and women actors also deserves commendation. A classic!

The creatures in this movie are so unique and cool, actually taken from voodoo legends but freed from anyone's control, that it boggles my mind that no one ever made another movie featuring these "walking dead."

The godfather of the zombie film. It's the very birth of one of the greatest and longest-running cult horror film franchises ever, perfected by astounding gore, frightening make-up effects, a simply bloodcurdling symphony of screams and of course, the extremely realistic feeding scenes. Everything is completely shown in a violent, yet gore-gous (pun intended) manner . There are no more stops. There is no censors. And best of all, it doesn't suck at all.

It's really campy for sure, which is bad for me as campy isn't my thing. It is impressive for the tiny budget it was made with. Duane Jones is a surprisingly good actor but no one else was. I found that two plot devices that make me furious essentially started here. 1) People in horror movies fighting with one another instead of the real threat. 2) People paralyzed with fear to the point where they're useless. I know everyone else seems to love this film but to me it's just alright.

The Godfather of Zombie films. Innovative for its time, and still sends a chill up first time viewers spines. Easily one of the best horror films of all time.

I still think this holds up pretty well. It has some great camerawork and creepiness, and I personally think it's age and black-and-white cinema makes it even scarier. The sound effects of the zombies eating and chewing on that human flesh still makes me cringe. Most definitely worth watching if you like the genre.

For better and worse none of it feels very dated - the acting, camerawork, shock moments, and racial tension all hold up! It lays down every zombie trope except the word 'zombie', its allegory is frustatingly relevant. Martin Luther King was killed in '68, this appears to be his nightmare.

The infamous Godfather of zombie films is a horror movie classic. Although maybe the film that made me fall in love with horror as a child, the movie today feels a bit dated. However, dated in the way like a little kid who only eats plain cheese pizza, the movie feels its age. Since becoming the OG zombie movie nearly 50 years ago, people, arguably even "The Godfather" Romero himself, have improved on the recipe and made different or better pizzas. Still hard to go wrong with this classic slice.

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.

This film starts off slow, with worrying B-movie tendencies, but as it goes on it shows off the horror genre genius its reputation suggests. It took a lot of guts to shoot scenes that dark (and I mean that both figuratively and literally).

The beginning and ending are both exceptionally great, and there are really good scenes sprinkled throughout, but I feel that it has a lot of pacing problems that make most of it boring. It could have been turned into a radio broadcast and I wouldn't have lost anything, it may even work better as a stage play. The Ben character is without a doubt phenomenal, but every other character in the movie, aside from the daughter, is either crappy to begin with or the actor made the character crap.

Pretty much singlehandedly birthed the entire zombie genre and most of its conventions that still stand proud to this day - the slow zombies, the feasting on human entrails, the survivors stuck in a location, the survivor who turns on the others, all that awesome business. It's dated, but have some respect.

It's pretty amazing to see just how little this subgenre has evolved since this first iteration, but credit where it is due to the originator. Much has been written about the microcosmic allegory of America eating itself alive, so I'll just add to the chorus by simply saying that it is pretty fun, able to overcome its rough formal qualities with head and heart in the right place.

The birth of "Zombies!" as a genre, rather than a monster movie. STands up well for it's age (like any good zombie oughta.)

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.

The king of the Zombie sub genre, it has been emulated (or outright ripped off) thousands of times. Slightly dated now but still highly entertaining.

MadMan | 100 97th |

This is a Romero masterpiece, one that has stood the test of time and is now seen as a stample of the genre. Not only does Duane Jones give one of the coolest performances in a horror movie, but also Romero tackles the 60s in full, unflinching and violent form. The movie covers the Vietnam War, hippies, and only eerily mirrored how the decade would end with the Manson murders and the bloody Rolling Stones concert leaving a nasty and foul stain on what was supposed to be 10 years of promise.

I mean, it's guerrilla filmmaking at its very best, and you have to give credit for everything it invents that everyone else has cribbed off for 50 years, but still it just can't hold up to what has come since. It has gone the way of Meleis' "A Trip to the Moon," an *important* movie but not a great one.

The well directed tension and fright factor in this 60s film with a very low budget marks it as a true horror classic. Very efficiently executed.

Laudable for its low budget and resistance of studio censorship, but it has not aged well at all. Bad acting, laughably terrible deaths, just poorly put together. The racial politics are well ahead of their time, but the gender politics are way backwards. No idea why this has been so highly praised. Disappointing, really.

Hated this pic, but gets 60 for its signifigance. Why are characters always so inept? Shaun of the Dead I thought parodied this film well. Exactly how scary and deadly can a zombie be when their bodies don't work right and you can run 20 times faster than them. Alot of the death scenes in this film made me laugh and brought to mind the Austin Powers steam roller death scene where the guy was 50 yards away and didn't escape. This film had potential to be so much scarier, but kudos how far it got.

When Romero unleashed this on an unsuspecting public, the pic represented a radical, truly shocking departure from the usual run of formulaic fear flicks. This movie chucked all romantic and most pseudoscientific fright-film conventions and went straight for the jugular (to say nothing of the entrails), conveying a sense of visceral terror through its unrelieved atmosphere of frantic despair as much as through its relentless army of staggering ghouls.

I saw a lot of more recent zombie movies before I ever saw this one. It made me wish newer zombie movies could be just as good. I feel like the genre has gotten out of touch with its roots. Plenty of people have said it before, but it's great because it's not all about violence, and hoping the attractive people survive, and having to shoot your friend when "the infected" get him. It has a lot more to do with deeper aspects of human nature.

Great job in creating an atmosphere and affects through such a raw use of camera and lighting. The characters know about the outer world through the TV and radio, whose content is created by the director. They wait in the house to be eaten while watching these images. And we are watching them in cinemas or at home, getting informed about the outer world in a certain sense. What awaits us outside our homes, or theaters? A good lesson in creating more through less.

Moribunny | 68 70th |

The original zombie epidemic flick works because characters behave and interact on assumptions or impulses that make relative sense; we see confusion, hesitation and panic; and flesh-eating zombies, while obviously a supernatural aberation, are rendered in a way that maximizes consistency and believability. It is an unkempt film in every way, but has a rugged and unpretentious feel unlike the soulless formalism that pervades its hundreds of immitations (including Romero's own sequels).

|
|
The supporting characters are a little weak, which is a big flaw for a zombie movie, and the zombies themselves aren't very scary, but the plight of the lead character trying to save everyone only for their weakness to condemn them all is heartbreaking, and the ending is stunning. Overall, it's been done better since, but coming as it did in 1968, it's a very important film, and conceptually it holds up if not cinematically.

djross | 74 83rd |

Tense, low-budget, well-filmed horror that spawned a thousand sequels and shows Romero's penchant for peppering his genre efforts with critical comment. MARCH 2018 REWATCH: An "outbreak of mass homicide". One way to see this film in retrospect (half a century later) is as being about the possibility of events such as the Rwandan genocide (a catastrophe the horror of which cinema has so far avoided trying to depict), with all the reactions and counter-reactions such events inevitably generate.

Most frightful horror film of all time! Romero is a genius (I'll never get tired of saying that). He has made a film that to this day, still makes shocks you. Tense materpiece, and truly revolutionary. Movies would be the same after these zombies wlaked the screen. Thank God for that!

WHY IS NOBODY ACTING IN THIS MOVIE? It's not just a matter of them being bad actors. They're bad actors not even trying. At the end the priest gives a monologue where he argues that the zombie horde is basically another form of the biblical flood, and that he has been anointed like Saint Peter to be the centerpiece of the new church. The guy just sits in a chair, furrows his brow, says the lines. He inexplicably seems annoyed, but that may have been his furrowed brow going into overdrive.

Surprisingly tense and well-crafted, even with its obvious flaws (particularly the acting, which is downright bad in spots). Eschews jump scares and violence for an atmosphere of dread and paranoia, which helps it stay gripping throughout. Also manages to be a nice treatment of both racism and Cold War paranoia, without making too fine a point of things. I enjoyed this significantly more than I expected to.

PeaceAnarchy | 84 77th |

Low production values aside this is a very tense and well constructed film and a great example of a film that's more than the sum of it's parts. It relies surprisingly little on shock and gore, instead building up tension and creeping you out with the situations the characters find themselves in.

This is pretty much what got me to watch a crapload of zombie movies. When I watched it for the first time, it was on TV at night and I remember that the first scene at the graveyard already made me hide under my sheets. I just love it.

Brilliant. Romero is so criminally underrated. His great contribution to cinema is a critique of communication in times of crisis. Can people really get it together and act the right way when it's most necessary or will our prejudices and vices dig our graves? The satire and political consciousness was intentional. Such class. I'm just sorry for him that this film lost its copyright protection and he never saw a penny in royalties. Easily another dream project could have happened.

Still far and away the best zombie movie ever. What starts out as predictably cheesy ("They're coming to get you, Bar-ba-ra!") soon becomes as tense, brutal, and misanthropic as horror has ever been.

George A. Romero's debut set the template for the zombie film, and features tight editing, realistic gore, and a sly political undercurrent.

It's certainly dated and the acting is pretty rough in most cases, but it still has this simple charm that I love. I saw it as a kid and was legitimately scared. I saw it as an adult and really enjoyed the history of it all. Dawn of the Dead was a huge step up but I'll always enjoy this one.

The movie has some cool use of lighting and the way the zombie outbreak is reported on is neat, but otherwise this was really fucking boring. The acting manages to be ham-fisted while somehow not being funny boasting the same eyerolling characterization you've seen in plenty of films after it but more monotone. Most of the movie are dull dialog scenes where we're exposed to some of the flattest characters imaginable, until we get a big climax of, frankly, tepid gore that didn't incite me.

I can't imagine what it would have been like to see this movie in 1968. Never mind the "good for its time" apologetics often reserved for horror classics -- even after 40 years of derivative films, it still seems fresher than almost anything else in the genre.

The sickness the silent majority in America was feeling. Those that are fed up with social progression. Those that have been toyed and tricked by news media into doing their bidding. It’s Americans dealing with what they have wrought to many across the globe and the paranoia they have because of it. They see zombies in every city they see the need a military for protection. To kill the only black character and hero. How the final gunshot rings like it did with brother Malcolm and MLK.

It was really great for a low-budget movie from the 60s. Definitely quite dark and graphic for its time. The music was awesome in its melodrama. Sure, the acting's not amazing, and the characters aren't really given any proper development, but come on, you're watching it for the zombies! And they're pretty cool, if tame compared to today's versions. I personally preferred Dawn of the Dead (1978), but this one is a must-see for any zombie or horror fan.

George A.Romero's Night of The Living Dead could be said the first one of its kind. this low budget horror movie is actually one of the most terrifying zombie movie ever exist in Hollywood. Romero Ambition to make most out his budget is certainly make the cut.and as a result,his nightmare had come to live in such exciting and thrilling horror.

Apparently low budget but very enjoyable and defining a genre of films to follow for decades. Prompted a long discussion with a friend over the nature of the characters and their relation to human impulse in general, not something that can be said for the average horror film.

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.

taut drama and action in this insanely dated zombie flick. this was made in 1968! very much a genre film, even though it invented many of its own tropes, and not as much subtext as i might have liked, although the celebratory beatdown of an obnoxious white man by a black man was pointed, as was the final shot in the head by a militarised police force.

While this is the definitive zombie movie, it is also a great film of human morality and struggle. Acting is good and the scenes are classic yet most of the first half feels boring and cheesy. This quickly changes but must be taken into account. Otherwise this is millenial and is a must see for all.

Romero came roaring out of the gate with N.O.T.L.D, arguably the greatest horror debut of all time. It was a complete triumph of creative vision crafted from the barest of means. Its unique atmosphere is both realistic and otherwordly and seems beamed in from another dimension. The amateurish acting doesn't detract because it's believable, and the heavy use of shadow is evocative and intensely moody. The zombie makeup is simple but effective, and its provocative ending still packs a punch.

Whatever campy fun there is to be had will swiftly give way to a brooding atmosphere of oppressive nihilistic terror. Just watch it back to back with some modern horror flick and you'll see what I mean. Some extremely effective use of horrific imagery and ideas.

Painful dialogue and performances and unlikable characters (see the hysterical Barbra and brash Ben who punches her out) amidst dumb drama (see the repetitive cellar debate) and lazy exposition (see the lengthy news reports) are redeemed to a remarkable extent by the delightfully deadly climax (featuring a grotesque zombie feast over a grating soundtrack) and despairing denouement marked by a poignantly unassuming note of dramatic irony dragged out in the unique still-shots ending credits.

To start off: I generally really don't like horror movies. The biggest horror about them for me usually is, actually enduring the boredom of a horror movie. I've also seen this one when I was a teenager and don't really recall liking it. Since I had basically no recollection of the movie, I decided to give it another try. Boy was I positively surprised. Not did I only like the movie, but actually though it was great. Especially that ending was really a perfect way to conclude the movie.

Landmark films like this are always difficult to rate this far removed from their pivotal era. Yes, the film is loaded with absurd stage acting, but it's also still untypical of its time the way it's framed. Yes, it's poorly paced and unable to truly terrify anymore, but certainly the political dread the film achieves by the end elevates it above most of its ilk, which is all the more impressive given it's said ilk's progenitor.

Can't say what hasn't already been said about this classic, but I'm always impressed by Barbra's run from the car wreck to the house. There's some great hand held camera work there, editing and awareness of axis. Great way to start off the film. [Rifftrax: Nelson's stand alone sucked, Mike/Bill/Kevin's studio session redeemed it and Live! knocked it right out of the park. Live is now an absolute favorite of mine.]

I think this was my first favorite horror film. Very scary and hardly dated today, and yet there are those precious corny moments that make the film all the better.

Along with its immediate sequel, Dawn of the Dead, this is my favorite zombie flick. Although I should say it's almost absurdly sexist. I should also say that the 30th Anniversary edition is significantly worse. The music addition are horrible and overbearing, and the restored scenes, although interesting in their own way, were probably better off cut from the film.

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.

I've always felt that special effects are ruining modern horror. Having a limping man with some bloody make up is much more terrifying than a computer generated ghoul.

Without using the word, this movie totally re-made the 'zombie', now divorced from exoticising voodoo-isms, freed from being enslaved corpses, and reborn as singleminded cannibals whose threat is inseparable from the unstoppable spread of a contagion.

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.

The movie that launched a (sub)genre! It's fascinating to see some of the stuff that later got winnowed out, like the radiation from space. It's much less gory than everything that followed it also, and the violence that is there is more shocking as a result. Great stuff on a tiny budget.

Somewhat dated but still a well constructed film. Social unrest is always met with a disproportionate response, to show who owns the place, and to discourage future incidents either by intimidation or by eliminating potential threats. Here, we have a negro who has elevated himself into the status of a human, even an admirable one, all the while making a whole mess out of the power structure of white man > white woman.

There's no denying how iconic and influential this movie is, but just because it's the most important zombie flick doesn't mean it's the best. Far from it.

Whether Romero's trying to make commentary on gender roles or just resorting to them is a bit ambiguous at points.

The building of tension in the beginning is absolutely great, and the creepy atmosphere is present during the whole film.

I couldn't believe how good this film is. I unjustly ignored it all this time, based primarily on the title and its B status. It's never dull and is much more a Hitcockian suspense than a horror. The living dead are not scary visually, and hardly dangerous individually, but they are dreadful as a blind flesh hungry mass. Great attention to details: look at the fake television footage, how realistic it is. The ending is elegance personified, and looks much more modern than anything shot today.

I'm not a big horror fan, but I was pretty impressed with this one, as it wasn't a scare-a-minute film. Instead, it just built up the anticipation throughout the movie. The characters are pretty wooden and there's really not much in terms of special effects (often hidden in dark shots), but the camera angles help increase the tension, and you can tell Romero managed to do a lot with a little budget.

The innovation and influence of this film cannot be denied. One of the clearest example of the genesis of a genre. We know all about the creatures and the film feels dated but still executes better than a vast majority of its numerous offsprings.

Romero does indeed achieve a lot here on such a small budget, creating in many ways a genre-defining film. However, this does not change the fact that the acting and dialogue is patchy and in some cases terrible. The final 15 minutes of the film are the most well done and interesting, but it is the radio and TV news broadcasts that are the most impressive aspect of the film for this viewer (it seems likely that Romero saw Watkins' 'The War Game' which shaped his creation of these news events).

As this is in public domain and freely available to view, no one really has an excuse for not seeing it. Although horror may not be to everyone's taste & this film is definitely not for the young, George Romero's shoe-string production still works as a thriller and a thought provoking study of human nature under extreme duress. Duane Jones gives a masterful performance, and the ending is unforgettable. Much, much more than a horror movie...a genuinely well made thriller.

Whether you believe this film is an allegory for the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, both, or none this film absolutely holds up. Especially knowing how small the budget was and the efforts that George Romero & Company put in to create this. Some of the scares do not hit quite as hard but the overall atmosphere is still very tense.
