Night of the Living Dead Review

Yo Bigs here,

The movie Night Of The Living Dead is about how the undead pretty much start showing up out of nowhere. The main thing is that they never use the word zombie exactly because this film was one of the first movies to show the undead. The movie was a good movie considering its time but it had its flaws such as; poor lighting and camera angles, and all the acting was very poor but good considering its time.

The movie theme is that society is suffering because of all the advancements they are trying to go for and the consequence is a radioactivity that brings the dead to life. The movie starts with a lady named Barbra and her brother visiting their dad's tombstone. Barbra's brother is trying to scare her and ironically their is something to be afraid of when a random guy actually starts attacking her and her brother.

The girl winds up escaping by taking the parking brake off and rolling into a tree, then runs through the woods into a house.(the house just so happens to be there) Then, of course the house is open so she finds herself some shelter. She sits on a couch and some guy named Ben comes through the front door. He trys to calm her down as he tries to explain that she needs to help him board up the house. Ounce night actually comes there is like 5 undead people outside the house and the girl flips out and start wanting to save her brother who is obviously dead by now.

So Ben knocks her out with a backhand her out cold because she is literally going insane.
Barbara aka the loco chick wakes up and freaks out again cause now there is like 5 people in the house seeking shelter now. Judy and Tom are a couple, as well as Harry and Karen Cooper, who have a sick little girl in the basement.(basement children are never a good sign)

So Ben and Harry Cooper are having a dispute over whether the basement downstairs is safer than being upstairs. So Ben pretty much tells Harry that everyone is safer upstairs and if he really wants to he can stay in the basement.

Then Ben, Harry and everyone else decide that they need to see the tv for further action. So there next move is to get a truck that Ben had, fill it with gas by the barn and the take off to go find a safer place to be. This plan goes horribly wrong, Ben has to save Barbara from the undead people(numbers are now in like the 20's or 30's cause they accidentaly catch the truck on fire and Tom gets blown up. They rush back to the house where the undead figure out how to pick up sticks and start to actually break open the sealed up doors and windows.

Tragedy ensues when the when(while trying to hold the doors from being broken) Barbra gets yanked out the window by her brother who is of course undead. Ben has to stop Harry Cooper from closing the basement door and dooming them all, so he has to shoot him dead. Harry Cooper goes downstairs to save his daughter even though he is dying and Judy is already dead cause of the undead. Karen Cooper goes downstairs to realize her daughter is awake but is undead and she gets shanked to death with a mini shovel.
Final parts is that Ben makes his why to the basement as undead fill the house and shoves aside the Cooper's undead daughter. Ounce downstairs he has to decapitate Karen and Harry Cooper who come back to life because of the radiation. Day comes and Ben heres someone outside of the house, so he goes to investigate. Turns out to be the Search and destroy people killing the undead. Thinking Ben is a one of the undead they shoot him dead.
Yes the ending is depressing. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
