So this really aged well.

I was a bit afraid that with the whole Apocalyptic Running Zombie direction Zombie films were headed this would feel old and tired, but it most assuredly doesn't.

I am not sure if I remember correctly but I seem to recall that Romero was inspired by the novel 'I am Legend' when he was thinking of this film. The feeling of being alone, surrounded by monsters is a strong concept and it is executed to perfection in this film. This is not a full out horror fest most of us are used to. Much like the zombies themselves, it is determined and relentless.

And that's the thing, this film emanates a 'this has never been…

What can I write about Night of the Living Dead that hasn't already been said by hundreds of other people, better than I could put it? At this point, everyone knows that this movie is a major feat--where ghouls are no longer ghouls, but zombies, and soon they will have a set of rules. Everyone knows that this is an influential, revered and beloved film. Everyone knows that George A. Romero created a new breed of monster. Just like vampire films are always referenced back to Bram Stoker, the modern-day zombie film is always referenced back to Romero. The only difference between both is that vampires have been around for centuries; throughout many different cultures, taking different forms in a…

Johnny: "They are coming to get you, Barbara..."

SYNOPSIS: A ragtag group of Pennsylvanians barricades themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a bloodthirsty, flesh-eating breed of monsters who are ravaging the East Coast of the United States.

A film laced with fear, dread, social commentary and layered with an atmosphere so thick it could smother the air.

Night of the Living Dead follows Barbara as on a trip to her father's grave she and her brother are attacked by a listless person…

I woke up today knowing that my criterion Blu-ray of Night of the Living Dead would be arriving today, and I rushed through my day as quickly and efficiently as possible to be speed up the time because ya know, priorities. I got out early too, arriving just in time to see the mailman (I probably looked like deranged nut standing by my mailbox lololol).I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t get emotional while opening up the package, thoroughly examining the cover image and getting a bit weepy eyed seeing ‘Directed by George A. Romero’ on the cover of a fucking criterion release. 

Before I popped it in, I thought about last spring— I was about a mile…

r u sure we're doing the right thing tom?
well the television said that's the right thing to do

hugely influential to the point where I'm pretty sure I saw some shots that even Lynch has paid homage to (the evil hobo), George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead did it first and did it right. almost all modern zombie movies now have a bit where the characters acknowledge zombies and they're always like "wOaH nO wAy there's aCTuALly zOMbiEs iN tHe rEAl wOrLd" 😱😱 but in 1968 before the undead was a way-too-popular and over-exploited concept, the very idea of the dead rising was terrifying. and this terror translates through generations as being alone and trapped, surrounded by…
