Night of the Living Dead
"Part of its strength is that it’s not a glossy, predictable Hollywood horror and so it has a grainy, semi-amateur, black and white look which gives it a dread sense of conviction.” ―Empire
The 1968 ground-breaking horror film, Night of the Living Dead, follows the lives of eight people from various backgrounds on a terrifying night where the dead rise to feast on human flesh. The strangers end up fighting for their lives in an abandoned house surrounded by the walking dead. As the night unfolds, details are revealed about the mass-murder situation through a small black and white television. It is discovered the only way to kill the zombies is to shoot them in the head: "kill the brain, kill the ghoul." The situation escalates as tensions rise and fear takes over. This is master horror director George A. Romero's original cult classic.
