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.

Still one of the scariest movies ever made. A near-perfect example of the genre with one of the best, most nihilistic endings of all time. After 60 years the effects are still incredible and the performances highly effective. Ther
A superb film and one of the first horror films with an African American protagonist. Timeless.
Classic.
