Aroview: Highly original and influential drive-in cheapie, distinguished by its realistic, documentary atmosphere and imaginative ending. Graphically violent beyond its years, this is the original cult horror.

5 stars (Exceptional) The original zombie flick, with creepy atmosphere and suspense, and intriguingly deep undertones of racial tension. Brilliant and graphic, from the master George Romero. ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) Re-watchable horror that is surprisingly enjoyable and effective. Eerie, serious, intense. The threatening dangers do not appear to be limited to the zombies, but what about the building tension between the survivors?! ~Anon

5 stars (Exceptional) Uses its own limitations (low budget, minimal resources, unknown cast) to maximize its impact as, one by one, all the rules that make horror stories "safe" are systematically broken. Snicker while you can; you'll be shivering by the end. Classic. ~fairbrother
