Yep. This is the one, folks, that started the whole messy, flesh-eating, zombie craze 45 long years ago. And I know that it's kinda weird to say this, but, as low-grade (and, yes, laughable) in every aspect (especially the acting) as this horror movie is, it's essential power to still terrify and chill (even by today's brutal standards) somehow makes it superior to all of the many, many imitators that it's spawned, over all of these many years. After seeing countless zombie movies in my days, I still personally consider 1968's Night of the Living Dead to be one of the very best zombie movies ever made. I know that really isn't saying too much, but, I think that this is a genre that has just gotten steadily worse, rather than better, over the years, since its original incarnation back in 1968. And - "Hey! Look! Here comes one of them now!"
