Connor Macgregor (On Vacation) Reviews...Night Of The Living Dead
Apparantly this is one of the films that changed the face of horror...hmmm well for me i thought slightly differently on that.
Chaos descends upon the world as the brains of the recently deceased become inexplicably reanimated, causing the dead to rise and feed on human flesh. Speculation rests on a radiation-covered NASA satellite returning from Venus, but it only remains a speculation. Anyone who dies during the crisis of causes unrelated to brain trauma will return as a flesh-eating zombie, including anyone who has been bitten by a zombie. The only way to destroy the zombies is to destroy the brain. As the catastrophe unfolds, a young woman visiting her father's grave takes refuge in a nearby farmhouse, where she is met by a man who protects her and barricades them inside. They both later discover people hiding in the basement, and they each attempt to cope with the situation. Their only hope rests on getting some gasoline from a nearby pump into a truck that is running on empty, but this requires braving the hordes of ravenous walking corpses outside. When they finally put their plans into action, panic and personal tensions only add to the terror as they try to survive.
I don`t love this film, but i did enjoy it. Why its good is because it is not just a zombie movie, its a movie about survival in the worse case scenario. The characters can not get along and end up argueing and backstabbing each other for their own personal goals. Duane Jones who plays Ben really carries the whole film and is the star of the show. He is doing all the work and fighting to survive the evil that lurks outside the house. Some of the other cast including Judith O Dea who plays Barbara who spends most of the film shocked that someone tried to kill her. Still a great performance though. One last mention will be to Kyra Schon who plays the girl Karen Cooper who when zombified has one of the most creeepiest looks in a film. Seriously watch that film and see that face and tell me that isn`t scary or creepy at all.
Overall its not a classic film but it is a good film. With powerful acting and a haunting story, Night Of The Living Dead doesn`t dissapoint.
