We can hardly imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke into the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it again, though there have been numerous pale imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that it is shot in such a raw and unadorned fashion that it feels like a home movie, and is all the more authentic because of that. It draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we hardly could have anticipated. The story is simple: Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk, and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kill one is by a shot or blow to the head. We follow a group holed up in a small farmhouse who are trying to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. The tension between the members of this unstable, makeshift community drives the film. <I>Night of the Living Dead</I> establishes savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humor, the film gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow. <I>--Jim Gay</I>
Viewer Reviews
This review is for the Genius 40th edition. Cover, film quality, and extras all excellent. NOTLD is a 1 zombie film, and need to be treated with respect. I own this movie on vhs, and dvd. So far the Genius Extreme is the best. NO TRUE HORROR FAN SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS MOVIE!
