Night of the Living Dead (1968)

The genre of Zombie movies can not be talked about, or for the most part, even thought of, without resorting to Night of the Living Dead (or one of its related films). For the most part - and its rather sad really - you can see all the portions which have been lifted into other parodies. The film ends up being a collection of what are now clichés which reduces the quality of impact the original film may have had.

If you choose to ignore your now learned knowledge, the film can pass as being frightening, even though its largely a character study.
