Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

George Romero's ("Dawn of the Dead"-1978) first feature film is an assured debut work. It's shot in grainy black-and-white that resembles a documentary. ...read the complete Night of the Living Dead movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

The shuffling zombie with one arm outstretched -- he got his start here on George Romero's groundbreaking horror flick of rampaging zombies and a citizenry that holes up in the hopes of keeping them at bay. ...read the complete Night of the Living Dead movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Foster on Film - Zombies

I admit my ratings are a bit odd, so hang with me for a moment. Night of the Living Dead '68 is one of the most important horror films ever made. It created the modern zombie sub-genre and changed how horror movies were made and what they were about....read the complete Night of the Living Dead (1968) review at Foster on Film - Zombies
