ZoeMovieReviews: Night of the Living Dead


Night of the Living Dead (1968)

 

 

This is a 1968 American independent zombie horror film directed by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea and Karl Hardman. It has been a cult classic ever since 1968.

 

Plot

A group of people takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour.  One by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones.

 

This film was fun to watch. It is in black and white, which is cool. I did like this film, but I do prefer Day of the Dead a lot more than this one.

 

I thought the scene when Johnny and Barbara are in the graveyard and Johnny says “They’re coming to get you, Barbra" was funny. Then she is attacked by a strange man.

 

 

In this film there aren’t that many memorable scenes. A few scenes that I thought were great was when the little girl eats her dad and kills her mom. Another great scene is when the zombie smashes into Barbra’s car.   The scene when Tom and Judy get in the car and Tom sets fire to the truck by accidently spilling gasoline on it and the truck gets exploded. I thought that was cool and then the zombies eat their flesh!! That part of the scene is similar to day of the dead – that’s why that scene was my favourite.

 

I thought the acting was really good in this film. The actress who played Barbra I thought she did a great performance in the film. The other actors and actresses performance was great as well. The zombies were great in this film, especially at the time it was made.

 

The score to this film was great. It set the tone to the film very well. I really enjoyed the score; it made some parts of the film a bit more eerie.

 

Overall, I liked this film a lot. There are some few memorable scenes in this. The acting was great and so was the score to this. I still prefer Day of the dead. I would recommend this if you like zombie and horror films. If you are new to George A Romero’s work you should watch this.

Rating:7/10

I have seen the first one which I thought was brilliant. It is probably best for anyone who’s interested in this film that they should watch Dead Snow (D ød Snø) as well. Although, the first few scenes of the film is that it’s reminding you some of things that happened in the first film. That I liked, as it gave me an idea of what happened from the first film as I only watc...

It is based on the Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This is the 28 th Disney classic.   The Plot   A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain with a devious sea-witch in order to meet a human prince on land.   I loved this film so much and probably because it is a Disney film.   The animation is this film was really good. The score is very good as well. My favourite song from it was Under The Sea!   The story telling to this film is great!
