October Challenge...#33: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Stars...Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman
Director...George A. Romero
Format...DVD
Rating...* * * * *

One evening a group of survivors hold up in a small rural farmhouse as the dead arise to prey upon the living with their insatiable hunger. But as the terror grows petty squabbles threaten to destroy them from within as the dead scratch at the door. This low budget masterpiece headed by talented horror master George A. Romero captured social tensions of the time (intentional or not) and managed to redefine the zombie genre and create easily one of the best films of the 20th century.
