Movie Reviews of Night of the Living Dead
Movie Review: Best DVD release for one of the best horror films ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
Night of the Living Dead is a film with no real copyright. What does this mean? That any two-bit dvd company can put this film out. So what you get are tons of cheap dvd's with awful transfers.
This is the Night of the Living Dead dvd to own. You get a feature length documentary called "One For The Fire" which has one of the last on screen interviews with Karl Hardman along with interviews with the rest of the surviving cast who go in depth about the making of the film. You also get a few other extras along with the film which has been remastered and looks great.
The film itself is my favorite horror movie. Famous for being the first flesh-eating zombie film it was released in 1968 where it pretty much changed the horror genre overnight. It's gritty, low budget, and has a very un-hollywood ending. This is the one that started it all.
Barbara and Johnny go to the Cemetery one afternoon to visit their father's grave. They're attacked by a ghoul and Johnny is killed. Barbara escapes to a farmhouse where she meets up with Ben...More and more zombies are approaching the house, can they survive the night?
Movie Review: What A Great 40th Edition Of This Classic Film Dead.
Summary: 5 Stars
I like many other night of living dead fans i have been scratching my head over which version of this film to get. because it seems like every tom,dick and harry who is in film company biz has release their version of this classic film, which explain why there are so many versions. it's a headache too choose which one to get, i know george and his associates are bit upset over this problem too. well i got this version because it was endorsed by george himself and was filled with goodies that the others didn't have like duane jones last interview in audio form on this DVD which is great and all the other extra have interviews with the surviving cast members of this classic dead film. showing where they shot most of key shots in the film and fun stuff like that, plus the film has been cleaned up with the scratches and dirt removed from so it looks as if it was shot today with exception of the vintage automobiles etc. it is a pristine print , clear and vivid . This definitely the one to get out of all the ones on the market.
Highly Recommended.
Movie Review: Best Transfer Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not going to review the movie because it would be redundant. I first saw the movie when it was first released on a double bill with 'DR.WHO AND THE DALEKS' at the State Theater in Jersey City, New Jersey and I was never the same again, I watched movies differently after Romero's celluloid images incinerated my brain cells. Since then, I have seen 16MM original and public domain prints, VHS originals and dupes and finally this release from the Weinstein Corp. which is the best quality of the film I have ever seen. You can't get much clearer, sharper and grittier than this DVD release. It also has a great extra of Judith O'Dea and Russell Streiner going back to the actual locations of the film bringing back an emotional tug at the heart for this viewer. Throw out your colorized and scratchy transfers and buy this release of possibly the greatest horror film ever made. George Romero is the bench mark for low budget filmmaking and has forever turned cinema on its ear to this day.Movie Review: Get only the Weinstein print/Romero approved version!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the movies referred to as "Low Budget" or "Cult Classic", Night of the Living Dead deserves the gold medal. The well known problem with public domain issues surrounding the film make it very difficult, however, to find a decent definitive print of the original.
There are so many sequels, reprints, and remakes that it's become an industry unto itself.
For those who aren't sure which is the correct version to get, be sure that the cover is the one with a black background and red bold lettering and imagery. The phrase "Original Film Restored and Re-mastered" is in white at the top, and George Romero's signature is in white at the bottom.
In the product details be sure it says Weinstein Company. Don't be misled by the myriad "anniversary", "colorized", "Blu-Ray", "3-D", or "Special Editions". This one is a perfect print with excellent extras.
Movie Review: THE ULTIMATE ZOMBIE CLASSIC!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the Godfather of Zombie films! It's been 40 years since George A. Romero directed this classic, and all these years later, we still enjoy it! The storyline is awesome! The gore is awesome! It has the classic look and feel of the late 60's. On a dark night, the dead come back to life and feast on the flesh of the living. Barbra and her brother, Johnny are attacked, but Barbra makes it to a seemingly abandoned farmhouse to take refuge. Other survivors named Ben, Harry, Helen, Tom, and Judy join her, and try to board up the house to stay safe. There is competition between Ben and Harry over who should be the leader. Will these people survive the night of carnage? If you love classic horror and zombies, you'll love NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!
