DVD Review: 30th Anniversary Edition - TERRIBLE beyond belief
Summary: 1 Stars

It is just unfathomable that anyone could possibly think this was a good idea - take a beloved classic film and:

1. Cut 15 minutes of footage.
2. Add 15 minutes of poorly shot new footage with excruciatingly bad acting, writing and direction.
3. Dump the original music score and replace it with painfully amateurish electronic drivel.
4. Add insult to injury by deceptively marketing it as the definitive 30th Anniversary Edition.

Words cannot express how terrible this edition is. Really, it is THAT bad. I have seen student films and amateur fan edits done better. The new footage is so badly written and acted it would almost be funny if it wasn't cut into this classic film.

Stay far, far away from this version. Get any other version that has the real Night of the Living Dead.

DVD Review: 2007 DVD from GT MEDIA, 1968 film.
Summary: 5 Stars

This was the original zombie film, which spawned many remakes and sequels, none of which, were as good as the original. A low-budget horror film, that gets the most out of it's tight budget, effectively. Resident Evil reinvented the zombie film, adding action, combined with sci-fi, which was pretty effective, especially the first film in the series.

DVD Review: Woul Have Given It a Zero
Summary: 1 Stars

Three things:

1: The "new" footage is obviously and distractingly modern. It simply does not fit with the actual footage. The beard on the priest is a very modern cut. A detail like that should never have gotten past the director of the "new" footage.

2: The "actors" in the new footage are astoundingly bad.

3: The score is horrible. It lacks the tension of the original music.

Russo should be ashamed of himself.

DVD Review: Night of the Living Dead-The Original B&W.I have it on VHS.
Summary: 1 Stars

Creepy little movie yet poor taste,Gore isn't as bad as the next in the installments,Wouldn't define as Classic Horror but Classic Shock.

DVD Review: Undoubtedly a seminal horror film and a landmark for zombie movies everywhere!
Summary: 5 Stars

With time running out before Halloween and remembering my promise to myself to write 31 horror movie reviews by the time of the 31st, I felt as though I were running low, considering how in the past I've already reviews plenty of horror movies. Then I thought, "Hhmm...I haven't done a review for Night of the Living Dead yet!". So here it is, a review of what is considered probably the most important and influential zombie movie of all time.

Although it's not the first movie in the zombie-horror subgenre, ("White Zombie" beat it, being made in 1932) "Night of the Living Dead" is without a doubt, the most infleuntial zombie movie of all time, and probably the greatest one, too. Although it lacks the gore of later Romero classics such as "Dawn of the Dead" or "Day of the Dead", "Night of the Living Dead" is still a revolutionary horror film for several huge reasons.

First off, having a black guy as a hero was a big step at the time, considering this movie was made in the late '60s. Romero wanted to show that with the changing times, there was no racial boundaries on who gets to be the hero in a movie. And although I'm a white guy, I like his decision a lot, because it showcases a call to revolution.

Also, the movie itself is a social and political statement, about the new society, in this case, literally devouring the old one. Had the new society's devourment of the old society only been for the better this day and age...it's tough for me to be young and growing up in our culture these days! But Romero definitely had a brilliant idea with that underlying message in mind.

Now, we're on to the zombies. Combining the claustrophobic atmosphere of the house and the overpowering feeling of fear and doom caused by the start of the zombie apocalypse, "Night of the Living Dead" gets everything right. Although fast zombies were to be later featured in more recent horror films, the zombies in "Night of the Living Dead" are the epitome of classic, death-paced, flesh-eating horrid fiends.

I saw the movie online so I know nothing about the different DVD versions but I hear that the Millennium Edition is the best to get, so getting that one is probably the best thing. However, I did read that when purchasing any version of "Night of the Living Dead", none of the money will go to George A. Romero or any of the makers, so watching it online might be a good alternative. Any way you watch it, this is a zombie movie classic! Thanks for the time, and peace.

Description of Night of the Living Dead - In COLOR! Also Includes the Original Black-and-White Version which has been Beautifully Restored and Enhanced!

This is one of the true cult classics and one of the scariest movies of all time. The dead are walking and hunger for human flesh. A group of panicked survivors are barricaded in a deserted farmhouse while the army of flesh eating zombies hovers outside their door. This over-the-top disk includes a restored original black and white version, and a color version that will thrill the horror film fan and horrify the film purist. We've added a 5.1 surround sound mix, and bonus features including a hilarious audio commentary by Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
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
George Romero's classic 1968 zombie-fest (shot in black and white) offers some disturbing images, even decades later. In a Pittsburgh suburb people are being stalked by zombies ravenous for human flesh. In a house whose occupant has already been slain, two separate groups of people unite and board themselves in, hoping to fend off the advancing ghouls. Through radio and TV reports they learn that radiation from outer space is thought to be responsible for the wave of zombie attacks all over the eastern United States. Once the humans are trapped, Romero shifts the focus to the internal feuding between them as they decide how to handle their dreadful situation. What unfolds is an examination of human nature, and of the fear and selfishness that keep many citizens from getting involved in the world's problems. Appropriately, both the zombies and the authorities who later hunt them are equally soulless. This film could also be read as a criticism of white males--it is not merely a coincidence that the film's two most rational, constructive characters are a woman and a black man. It is also no coincidence that the sequel takes place in a mall infested by the undead--a perfect analogy for consumer culture. --Bryan Reeseman
