Night of the Living Dead - Nostalgia Critic

Formally on a past DVD, Nostalgia Critic takes a look at George A. Romero's cult classic film, Night of the Living Dead.
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film written, directed, photographed and edited by George A. Romero, co-written by John Russo, and starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. The story follows seven people who are trapped in a rural farmhouse in western Pennsylvania, which is besieged by a large and growing group of "living dead" monsters.

Fun story, my grandparents first date was to the premiere of this movie. My grandmother is a big fan of horror films but my grandfather, not so much. After dropping her off back at home he had to walk through some words to get back to his house and after he thought he heard someone following him in the woods he ended up running nearly 2 miles back to his place. His brothers mock him about that to this day.

I could be wrong but the phone isn't working because there's no operator on the other side because you know zombies. which explains why the tv and radio work it's not the electricity .

[@Khenfu_Cake]

Did phones still need operators in the late 60's??

[@scottbuckley823]

well they used switchboard operators up until as late as 1991 in mostly rural areas but were at there high point till the late 60's seeing that this was a very rural area i'd say so.

[@Robobagpiper]

That, and the landline phone and electricity run on entirely different lines (and poles in most cases). While phone lines provide their own power (a fairly complicated mix of AC & DC depending on whether it's idle, ringing, or in use), so the phone works when the electricity is out; but the reverse is not true.

[@scottbuckley823]

well the zombie does get tangled in a wire outside the house that might be the phone

Fun fact, when watching the film Shaun of the Dead, George A Romero completely missed references to his own movies. For example, there’s a line in Shaun of the Dead when one character shouts: “We’re coming to get you, Barbara!” Which was, of course, a direct reference to this film’s “They’re coming to get you, Barbara.”

And finally, where does that black guy (I can’t remember his name) finally go to escape all the zombies? The basement. And he would’ve survived at the end and not gotten shot if he just opened his mouth and said, “hey, I’m not one of them”, which shows that he wasn’t as smart as he’s made out to be, and he didn’t make all the right decisions.

[@anarchistjesus7354]

@@geraldobrien7323 And if nobody had shown up to rescue him, where would he be? You missed my whole point. And you should know it's debated whether Ben was shot because they thought he was a zombie, or because he was a black man in the 60s. It's not his fault he was shot in either case. lol If the militia had any brains they'd probably think "He's still in the house, and isn't attempting to come after us. He must be alive." Ben also could've gone out the back door to a wife open area where he at least would have somewhere to go, rather than being stuck in a cellor.

This review was brought to you by CLERICAL ERROR! (True story, Something was filled out wrong in the copyright paperwork and thus fell into public domain)

[@felman87]

More IPs should fall into the public domain. It's a shame they don't. It would be really nice to see some fresh new perspectives on classics. I mean, Disney practically built their empire doing just that with fairy tales.

[@9-bitfox]

Fox: Funny enough, the reason allot of things haven't Fallen into the Public Domain for years, is because Disney went to court to extend it because Mickey Mouse almost was a public domain Character.

[@Femaiden]

9-BitFox i suspect that has something to do with why Disney made a sequel to pretty much every one of their original animated films. it was probably to keep them from falling into the public domain

[@9-bitfox]

Fox: Possibly, but then again it depends on which films ur talking about. Since any one can Make a Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty Etc stories. Since those are all Public domain characters, hence why Disney made movies about them. Public domain takes around I think 50 years to take effect, before falling into Public domain; whether there is a sequel or not. Hence why Disney went to court to change the law and had it extended.

[@Craxin01]

People tell me this is about racism, and it very well could be, but I personally don't think the police or militia (whatever it was) generally thought about his race. They saw another zombie. The line gives away, "there's another one." Unless there was a pile of black corpses, it wasn't about race. Now the beginning of Dawn of the Dead was DEFINITELY about racism.

[@thrashpondopons2776]

There's an earlier scene with 'The Chief' where he says the killed some of 'those things' clawing there way into an abandoned shed. My guess is it WASN'T abandoned & they just killed both ghouls AND survivors! (So it could be interpreted as a statement against mob-rule overall!)

[@Craxin01]

Could be. I'm just looking at this through the lens of the actual panic and fear this sort of event would spark. If you thought someone was a flesh-eating ghoul, would you patiently wait for them to demonstrate that they're alive or undead? Or would you shoot first and let God sort them out? Reminds me of a scene from the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead in the first few minutes before the opening credits where an ambulance runs a man over. An AMBULANCE, driven by people trained to help people in need, so saturated in absolute panic that they, almost casually, run a perfectly healthy man over, likely killing him stone dead. It's a common theme now in zombie movies, the hardened soldier abandoning his\her post, the police officer bugging out to save his\her own skin, the doctor abandoning his\her patient mid-peril to find safety. Easy to forget THIS was the movie that started it, especially for those of us who didn't see this movie before the others.

I saw this old black and white movie once as I have a Halloween tin with the grim reaper on the front and the tin contains old black and white monster movies, I somehow got this for Christmas, it contains movies like Dr. Jackle And Mr. Hide, Nosferatu, Night Of The Living Dead, and many more, all in glorious HD DVD and in original black and white only, with extra DVDs of bonus features, and the tin has a button that plays Halloween sound effects, fun fact about Night Of The Living Dead, they never use the word "zombie" as it didn't exist yet, Night Of The Living Dead was also the first zombie movie in existence, Night Of The Living Dead also broke tradition of movies when it comes to the black guy, he lasts way longer than you think, I won't spoil how long he lasts but I was shocked as they didn't kill the black guy first like most other films, I liked that change, it's just like what Avengers: Infinity War did that broke tradition of almost any movie, again, I won't spoil, I first saw it on DVD and it scared me, I find that horror movies and scary movies and monster movies all in colour seem to lose their scaryness overtime but they are still enjoyable as they gain funny moments, look at Nightmare On Elm Street 1-8 (7 is New Nightmare and 8 is Freddy VS Jason, 2010 remake sucks not only because Michael Bay touched it but they thought that Freddy didn't have a backstory, um, hello, did they watch any Nightmare On Elm Street before remaking it? he has a backstory, it's told in the first movie and in Nightmare On Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare for frig sakes, also, they didn't make the face of Freddy similar for the stupidest reason, they originally were making him look a lot like an actual burn victim but then they decided to tone it down because they were worried it would be too real and too scary, um hello, you're remaking a horror movie, it's supposed to be realistic and scary, also, Freddy wasn't even funny in the remake, I counted about 3 jokes spread accross the entire movie and not one of them was even funny, the remake sucked) Nightmare On Elm Street is scary the first time but then overtime you tend to not be scared but you laugh along with Freddy's jokes, but any movie in black and white still stays really scary probably because it's in black and white and so you don't know what the threat fully looks like as it's not in colour, now the covers of the VHS and DVD cases were in colour and they did release colour versions later on but it's better in black and white, plus sometimes the colours don't match the case, the original 1960 Little Shop Of Horrors was in black and white but the cover showed that Audrey Jr. (what he was called in the original) was orange with green leaves but in the colour version of the 1960 version, he's all green like how he was in the play and the musical remake and that musical remake's director's cut, but even in the colour version it's still a little scary but you prefer the black and white version as it's more scary and keeps its scare overtime

[@smithwesson1896]

Now review Dawn of the Dead from Zack Snyder and Resident Evil (2002)

[@CartoonLab]

I can see where this movie set the path for zombies movies later on, but some of the stuff just doesn't add up. They say the zombies are slow moving, but that one near the beginning was super fast. I don't remember zombies being able to use weapons and tools, as they're supposed to be mindless cannibals. But, apparently they can in this movie. The fast zombie using a brick to break the window, the little girl zombie using what looks like a putty knife to stab the mother, the zombies using clubs to try and break to doors down. It all just feels weird and out of place. I know there are two types of zombies, undead ones and mutant virus ones. These are supposed to be the undead ones, but they act like mutant virus ones. I guess still a classic, but one that wasn't really well made.

[@TheNotverysocial]

Think about it: How would it have taken this long for the newscasters and everyone else to figure out they were eating their victims if they bit them every time with no other assault methods? The reports were of mass murder with seemingly no reason nor rhyme. It would have been pretty obvious it's for insatiable hunger if they only use their jaws. Beating down the doors and windows and stabbing people is perfectly in character for them.

[@sexycavetroll2788]

The Halloween videos are quickly becoming my favorite part of Halloween. I'm not a big fan of the holiday mainly because I do the horror thing all year anyway. These sorta bring back the childhoot feels I had during October. I think it is because it's now a tradition to watch these

At UNC-Asheville, one of our Mass Communications faculty uses this film for the horror genre every time he teaches the Film Appreciation course - and also taught one course entirely dedicated to George A. Romero films a decade before the Master of Horror passed away. RIP George - we will never forget how much you inspired us!

[@insaneo8860]

You should review the one from the 90s and has better character development in A better ending and better effects

[@Jmorris3265]

Did a stage production of this show last month, zombies on stage, zombies in the audience, zombies on top of the audience, good spooky times all around. Probably one of my favorite productions so far.

Night of the living critics and crappy films part 69

[@skyebedard2148]

As far as the radio goes, I think that actually makes sense if the radio is an older model. If I recall correctly, many earlier radios required rather expensive high voltage batteries to work, which made it actually important for people to plan out there listening as to not waste them. So if that was an older tube radio that needed 90v DC, it would make sense that it would still work.

The granddaddy of all zombie movies: The (original) Night of the Living Dead. This one takes a special place in my heart. R.I.P. George Romero

Why do these always have to be uploaded are 11pm on a Sunday???

[@kiddfaith4397]

This was the first true undead Zombie movie, made in 1968! Before this movie Zombies were portrayed differently, such as The Mummy or Frankenstein’s Monster, or living people mind controlled by aliens, or by Voodoo. The original Night of the Living Dead started up the Undead Zombie Genre we enjoy love so much today, and I’m thrilled Nostalgic Critic is reviewing it.
