So I know there is a lot to be said about this film, but so much has already been said it'd be stupid of me to reinstate all of that riight?
Night of the living dead is considered one of the first real Zombie Apocylpse type films. I picked it up on VHS about week ago while at a shady consignment store for like 68 cents or something weird. Even if it doesn't work I just love the case it's in. It's all raunchy and worn on the edges.
It was filmed in 68' but they have 1970 listed on the box here, so I'm pretty sure it's just because they've re-released it over a million times and no one figured to fact check it. Kinda funny actually.
This film is totally a cult movie, and was filmed with a $114,000 budget. It's grossed several millions though around the world since it's release. Who cares though it's raunchy zombie fun. The special effects are low budget, the music is totally cheesy and weird, but awesomely they don't take anything away from it. They use chocolate syrup for blood and the Zombies are seen gnawing on chunks of meat and such, but it's all very grainy and very real feeling.
If you've honestly yet to see this film you should feel left out. It's a wonder how you can even go out in public, enjoy ice cream, or simply exist. May the horror film nerds have mercy on whatever soul you may still be clinging to.
