George Romero makes some of the best zombie movies, and this is no different. Not everything aged well, but still highly entertaining.

A horror classic. Great setting. The effects and acting are very dated but the message of consumerism is still relevant.

A complete must-watch. One of the best zombie films ever made. two and a half hours of pure, unadulterated zombie-centered entertainment!

Absolute classic from top to bottom, lots of fun but also touches on deeper societal issues from the time

The greatest zombie film of all time. Want a zombie film? Look no further than this or its predecessor Night of the Living Dead.

Sequel enhancement to original with social commentary as zombies return to a shopping mall like elephants to an elephant graveyard.

One of the finest in the genre from the master of the genre. Still relevant and influential if a bit aged now. Some will find it too slow.
