I always put this in discussion for "Best Horror Film". Which is saying something cause I can't even decide if this or "Dawn Of The Dead" (1978) is Romero's best film.

Agreed. This is one of the best. I watch Romero's Dead trilogy every year around Halloween time.
I love Savini's 1990 remake as well. Really well made with some great actors and it also gets included in my Halloween playlist.
It was the vehicle which both raised the bar of the genre in the second half of the twentieth century and was arguably, after Psycho the most influential horror film of the same period. Interesting too, that they were both filmed in black and white.🐭
shareTotally agree with you. This film deserves all the credit it recieves for being a turning point in the horror genre.
And to think its creator (Romero) got his start directing tv ads and episodes of 'Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" which was a childrens program. This film basically came from out of nowhere and blew minds with its unrelenting bleakness.
Yes, I always watch this at least twice a year and it never gets old. It is a brilliant movie and I don't think there will ever be a zombie film that I like better.
shareno doubt about it. for what it's worth, i think NOLD is far superior to DAWN.

I agree with everything everyone has said...except I really don't care for NOLD 1990. The heroine rubs me the wrong way, for some reason.
