Director George A. Romero has fashioned what many call one of the most terrifying motion pictures ever filmed in this horrifying, nightmarish story that brings an entire town to destruction at the hands (and teeth!) of ravenous, flesh-eating zombies. When an unsuccessful rocket launch causes radiation fallout over a small rural town, the recently buried corpses are resurrected and crawl out of their graves in search of human flesh. As they begin their mindlessly cannibalistic trek across the countryside, they devour human beings that have managed to avoid the radiation. A group of terrified survivors tries to fight off the crazed zombie killers while hiding in the last safe place, a deserted farmhouse. Though the odds are against them they battle fiercely right up to the heart-stopping, unforgettable conclusion. This DVD edition has been expanded and enhanced to bring you the best visual and audio version of Night Of The Living Dead ever available. So turn out the lights, board up the windows and get ready for an all new experience with THE definitive horror film of all time.
 
"Don't watch this alone!"  Leonard Maltin
"A landmark American film...an important, masterfully-executed exercise in horror."  The Motion Picture Guide
 


Editor's Note

George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a low-budget, homegrown classic that had great difficulty finding a distributor at the time of its release in 1968, and has since become one of the most influential horror films of all time. (Aside from its visceral impact years before realistic gore became the fashion, the film is also important for its portrayal of a black man as the protagonist during a time when race was an extremely sensitive issue in the United States.) The plot is simple: seven people secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated corpses seeking to eat their flesh. The group, which includes a married couple and their daughter, a pair of young lovers, and an African-American man, try to keep their sanity as the living dead keep trying to enter the house. Radio news reports tell of the plague taking over the eastern United States, while the ever-decreasing band of survivors rapidly loses ground in the battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.


Plot Summary

When the dead mysteriously begin returning to life, a band of squabbling human survivors hole up in an abandoned Pennsylvania farmhouse where they fight off the growing army of flesh-eating zombies.
