THIS is considered a classic? WOW. This one belongs high on the list of most overated movies of all time. After all these years, I finally watched this film, and it was still too soon.

Classic Romero. To me this is the very film that put zombie horror in a genre of its own. Without even a whisper of the word zombie.
I will admit, the acting is not all that brilliant and Judith O'Dea's reaction in the begining almost brought me to laughter induced tears. How...( read more)
