Anecdotes
This is one of the most profitable independent movies ever made. Made for $114,000 (equivalent to $977,841 in 2024), it grossed approximately $30 million (equivalent to $257,326,430 in 2024) - over 263 times its budget.

Gaffes
The first time the dead body is seen at the top of the stairs, the face has been eaten away. Later when the body is being dragged away, the rug conveniently covers the face, but the face can be seen for a split second, and it is clearly normal.

Crédits fous
There is no on-screen copyright notice, nor any of the usual legal disclaimers typically found in movie credits; this is the main reason the film has been in the public domain since its release.

Versions alternatives
Despite being billed as a collectors' edition and containing many extras, the UK Contender DVD appears to be missing several sequences including most of the cannibalism scenes following the attack on the car, as well as heavily reducing the trowel murder from 14 blows to three. None of these cuts were imposed by the BBFC as all video/DVD releases in the UK have always been uncut.

7/10

A classic a real gem that in it's time and day really brought fright and fear!

Finally after all these years watched the cult hit classic of the now late George A. Romero's "1968's" "Night of the living Dead". And for it's time this low budget independent picture was a masterpiece that helped change the landscape and gave upcoming horror films a new path to follow. For 1968 and being in black and white it had plenty of gore, death, and blood. And even a few twists and turns in the plot were found.

Set in Pennsylvania in a small farm town the nearby graveyard starts to come alive and one by the dead have risen! And oddly enough this is a panic and epidemic that is all over the country!

It's a battle of will and determination for survival against the walking undead! Many will not like this film when comparing today's standards of special effects, graphics, and "CGI" yet one can see that this old classic was a gateway to current hits like "The Walking Dead".
