Night of the Living Dead
Directed by George Romero
George Romero's original zombie classic introduced viewers to a new type of terror: the walking dead, slow moving, but determined to feast on your flesh! From the first moments of its iconic opening sequence, NOTLD changed the game for horror directors, creating a genre that - like the zombies themselves - still shows no sign of slowing down. But Romero's most brilliant and controversial innovation was casting African-American actor Duane Jones as the lead, and offering a devastating - and still relevant - commentary on racism during the film's final moments.

Sets the standard for all zombie movies, top score!
Night of the Living Dead was my first horror movie and it was definitely a formative horror movie. It still holds up in such a charming way. There's so much more to the message than the surface level story regardless of whether or not it was Romero's intent.
This movie is so timeless, I have loved this movie for years, and it never fails to be THE best Zombie and George Romero film. 10 Skulls, truly.
a beautifully filmed classic
The OG of zombie movies. A very good classic for its time! 5 skulls no question!
