The tension of all these different types of people being stuck in a situation beyond their control is honestly one of the most horrifying things to be a part of. Add to that the fact that the people you are stuck with could be just as dangerous and unpredictable as the zombies outside and you have a true masterpiece. This is a must own for any fan of horror.

Let's just put the whole movie up so folks that haven't seen it can, and people like me who love it can watch it again.

"They're coming to get you, Barbara..."
I love that line.

Oh me too. I love the opening music as well. Just so ominous. Fits perfectly.

Set the standard for zombie flicks, it did. And glad it did.

Romero struck gold with this one. It's definitely what every other zombie flick is compared to.

This is one of those movies that truly shows you can do a lot with very little.

Yep. I can't remember the exact budget, but I know it wasn't much. Good acting too, for some virtual unknowns.

And it's a pretty damn scary film, even now. Just a suspenseful flick that can keep you on your feet. And that ending...

The ending is just wrong, but that's one of the things that makes it great to me.

Oh, that ending messed me up the first time I saw it. I still tell my wife every time and she's like I KNOW....you say this every time, lol.

To this day, that ending gets me. Guy survives all night long through all that mess just to go out like that. What a downer.

That's what I like about that film. It doesn't end on a positive. All will not be well in the end. It will just... end.

Classic film! The budget was low in this, but I sometimes think most of the scariest and effective horror films have the lowest budgets because it makes the director think outside the box. The big Hollywood stuff just seems so formulaic, as if some producer ticks off everything he thinks is essential to make a decent horror. In the case of Night of the Living Dead, I like the documentary feel and the fact it was still made in B&W even though by this point, most films were in colour. I really hate the ending though, one of themost effective and saddest in the genre
