Dear 1968: We made a film that has the following: -Female protagonist. -Whoops! Now an African-American protagonist. -It is in black & white. -It's all in one night! All in one one house! -We wait forever to even kind of tell you what's going on -People eat…

Can’t believe my FIRST thought when all the zombies entered the house was “Aw I miss being in crowded spaces with friends :-(“

Brandon Moore lovedNight of the Living DeadA great movie. This movie was influential at the time. As it was the first mainstream horror movie w the first African American to have a lead role thanks to Duane Jones. 100% worth the time not only for the movie itself but the influence it outside the screen
horror junkie lovedNight of the Living Deadeven though i thought i wasn’t going to like this at first, it was pretty good considering the time period and i love the fact they had a black actor as the lead, it’s also pretty cool to see how far we’ve come in terms of scary movies
Kareem is "meh" onNight of the Living DeadKind of overrated. I appreciate the influence it had on all the sci-fi and horror films that came in the following decades, and the whole "Black" lead role thing. Saw the ending "twist" a mile away. The choreography could've been waaay better too. Alright as a whole.
- Hailey lovedNight of the Living Dead
this movie holds up so well. a must see just for the fact that this is the first film to depict zombies as they are portrayed as today. THEN for there to also be an African American male lead, nonetheless as the hero?!?! awesome movie!!
Totally not Juvens lovedNight of the Living DeadAmazing film honestly blew me away on how good it was. Especially the ending, it was one you don’t rlly see nowadays. I love the risk and unpredictability of it too. Crazyy film 10/10
Maddie DeGraw lovedNight of the Living DeadIt was actually really good! The ending made me sad but it was a really good story and I can see why it helped establish the modern day zombie idea that we all know
- Michael lovedNight of the Living Dead
With a great plot, very realistic makeup, and an awesome climax and ending, It's easy to tell why it's one of the most influential horror films of all time. 8/10
Media Enjoyer likedNight of the Living Dead7/10
Simon Olson likedNight of the Living DeadThat was actually a really good movie, I was impressed. It’s cool how they came up with the ideas and made the zombies given it was made in the 70s. I like how the radio and tv told you what was happening and not the characters that was a well done aspect too. Ending did kind of stink, but overall…

Metacritic
This is the great American nightmare, in which neither families, friends, neighbors, nor lovers can save you, and no matter what you try and no matter where you go, it won’t stop until you do. There is nothing more terrifying than that.
Michael Roffman
Consequence
The movie had stopped being delightfully scary about halfway through, and had become unexpectedly terrifying. There was a little girl across the aisle from me, maybe nine years old, who was sitting very still in her seat and crying.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Night of the Living Dead is a grainy little movie acted by what appear to be nonprofessional actors, who are besieged in a farm house by some other nonprofessional actors who stagger around, stiff-legged, pretending to be flesh-eating ghouls.
