1001 Movies To See Before You Die

Movie #158 - Night of the Living Dead (1968)

 **

Some movies are timeless classics, but others are classics for their time.  The previously seen THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is a timeless classic, obviously dated, but no less entertaining and not that different than a movie of its kind made today.  NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a classic for basically setting the foundation for a whole genre of horror movies, the Zombie movie.  However, even though it may have been shocking and frightening in its time, the movie is too silly and too tame to really withstand the test of time.  As a movie-lover whose appetite for Zombie films has previously been sated by 28 DAYS LATER and Zack Snyder's DAWN OF THE DEAD remake, Romero's original opus just doesn't do much for me.
