A classic of zombie horror. Not very scary by todays standards but worth watching at least to see what started it all

The scare factor hasn’t really survived, but the other tense aspects of the movie in character interactions do.

Atmospheric. The nostalgia of putting this on over a lazy weekend afternoon is as memorable as the naked zombie.

The classic and quintessential zombie movie. For its time, it had absolutely amazing worldbuilding and surprisingly gruesome deaths.

In many ways this doesn't hold up for today's standards, but if you like older films you'll love this.
