The Zombie gore classic also is good social commentary.

a movie guru

MAY

2007

There's no denying for a moment that Night of the Living Dead is a true horror classic.

But this film was a truly shocking (to audiences in 1978), in color, and has a more interesting socio-political subtext.

It's also better acted and has more intentional humor.
