Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's tame of course by today's standards, but that, combined with he cynical racial component, was viewed as an all-out attack on "civilized" American society in general.

...there's a strong element of social satire in this low-budget horror movie, and racism is not Romero's only target...

A slightly tacky horror picture which makes quite an impact; partly, I suspect, by ingeniously playing off its own limitations.

The Spectator
What's truly remarkable is how, after half a century and an uncountable number of zombie films, novels, comics, TV shows, and video games, you can watch the original Night of the Living Dead and it still feels fresh and terrifying.

Under the Radar
Although pic's basic premise is repellent -- recently dead bodies are resurrected and begin killing human beings in order to eat their flesh -- it is in execution that the film distastefully excels.

Variety
If [Romero's] original vision of the undead looks dulled by today's standards, his embedded political commentary on racism feels just as sharp.

Night of the Living Dead is a revolutionary moment in American independent cinema, a film that inspired countless of filmmakers to pick up a camera and attempt their dream with nothing more than a handful of friends, a shoestring budget, and a vision.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Night of the Living Dead opens with chaos- the brains of the recently deceased have become mysteriously reanimated, causing the dead to rise and feed on human flesh. While visiting their father's grave, Barbra (Judith O'Dea) and her brother Johnny (Russell Streiner) are attacked by a strange shuffling man. Barbra runs into a farmhouse where she encounters Ben (Duane Jones), and they must find a way to save themselves from the horde of zombies approaching the house. George Romero's Night of the Living Dead is hailed as one of the most influential horror films of all time- inspirational, thought provoking, and most importantly, terrifying!
