Had the absolute pleasure of (re)watching on the big screen with a pre and post movie discussion from Daniel Kraus, author of Partially Devoured: How Night of the Living Dead Saved My Life and Changed the World

This movie is a genuine pleasure to watch from beginning to end. I was beaming the whole time. It’s watching my favorite horror genre unfold and prove itself in real time. So many revolutionary concepts at play here but the movie retains its thrown together low budget charm. Duane Jones, what a legend 

We may not enjoy living together, but dying together isn’t going to solve anything.

"They're coming to get you Barbara... They're coming for you Barbara!

This is my first time checking out this film, and I can see why 'Night Of The Living Dead' from 1968 is a classic. Is it the best zombie movie ever? Personally, I'm not so sure, but it's definitely up for a debate. This film definitely worth checking out, even though some of the special effects are pretty old-school. The black and white setting really sets the mood and makes you feel like you're in a scary situation where no one's safe. What really gets me is that the movie is set in a house with zombies surrounding the outside. You're stuck inside with a bunch of strangers and you're way outnumbered. If you go near the windows, they'll grab you. If you step outside, they'll kill you. It's a really intense feeling of being trapped and then, as things get worse, you start to lose your sanity. Honestly, The only thing I don't like about the movie is how annoying Barbara is. I get that back in the day, the typical screaming woman was a common character, but she could've been a lot better. Also, the fight scenes, like punching, don't look very convincing and can be pretty silly at times. But overall, I can see why people love this movie and why it's considered a classic. George Romero was a genius, and this film deserves all the praise and awards it's gotten.

I always loved zombie movies but i never really made a deep dive on them or seen the essential zombie movies so what’s the best way to start my zombie binge if not with night of the living dead by George Romero!
The zombies here are slightly different from the zombies i am used to, I believe they still have some form of human intelligence like when the zombie picked up a brick to smash the car window it kind of makes them more haunting. Even though the undead here are pretty cool the best thing in the movie are the relations between the characters.
The movie definitely has some flaws though, in the second act the movie momentarly kills its momentum till they try to escape with the truck when it gains it back. I really liked the ending I didn't expect Ben to make it through the night just to be taken out like that. The grainy, still photos at the end make the movie feel more realistic like it was a real crime scene and that’s very cool.

The first realistic depiction of how humanity would react to a zombie apocalypse. You have the people who are completely helpless and the others fighting each other for power.
