With her brothers among the dead Barbara join a group of people trapped in a farm house praying that they live to see the sun again.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Now I know I'm going to catch hell for this review and Frankly I don't care. This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Everyone says how wonderful NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is and how groundbreaking. Yes, I agree at that point, it was groundbreaking in amazing gore effects. But to me it was a big sleeping pill, nothing really happens between killings. The characters are plain and uninteresting and film quality is poor at best, the lighting for the night scenes could have been better. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this movie was made, it broke ground for much better movies. But in my opinion I can't recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. THE CRAP-O-LANTERN

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I couldn't agree more, I caught myself falling asleep throughout the movie, I mean this might be considered a classic in most places, but in this house it's just another video sleeping pill. CRAP-O-LANTERN

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ EFFECTS (Incredible effects considering the time and their budget.)
+ INNOVATIVE (Nothing like this was done before.)
+ STORY (A story with zombies that didn't involve Voodoo, that's cool.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- FILM QUALITY (The film quality was poor.)
- SOUND (The sound could have been better.)
- LIGHTING (The night lighting was too bright.)
- PACE (It crawled on it's belly like a guy with two broken arms and two broken legs crawling over a field of broken glass with his chin.)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If you aren't a fan of Zombie movies or George Romero, then this might not be the movie for you.)
