Night of the Living Dead description 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. Night of the Living Dead 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. --Jim Gay |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | How can I out do the Zombie Crunch? |
| My buddy C. Blackshere, wrote a review on this classic horror movie in August and I certainly can't out do his wit! But this is my version...
This movie is about "freshly" dead people that come back to life (walking like freaky zombies) to eat flesh. The cause for their awakening is due to a possible radition contamination. A group of sane people are hiding out in a house. One smart guy figures that he could board up the windows in this abandon house and wait it out. He breaks nearly every piece of wood furniture in the place to board up the windows so the zombies couldn't enter. I didn't know furniture could break that easily! But then again, I underestimated my big poodle, Beau. Anyway, the group struggles and eventually the zombies win and get them all, but one... While I respect this movie as a horror classic, the story and filming were good for its time (1968), the acting was pretty bad and detracted from the story a bit for me. The group was having a power struggle on deciding whether to go to the basement or remain on the first floor. I couldn't understand why they didn't go to the upper floor and throw Molotov cocktails out the windows and remain there. The zombies were having trouble walking, much less climbing the stairs! All in all it is a good classic horror film to watch this time of month, just be blind to the acting. |
