Night of the Living Dead

CriticsCritics: 92
AudienceAudience: 7.9

As flesh-eating ghouls spread across the region, a mismatched group of strangers takes shelter in a Pennsylvania farmhouse. They barricade the house and try to find a way to survive, but fear and disagreement among the people inside complicate their efforts as danger gathers outside.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like bleak horror focused on ordinary people under pressure and the strain of working together; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, polished effects, or relentless action.
