Before Resident Evil and almost every zombie flicks..

Warning: Spoilers
...we have a very creepy film from 1968, none other than the original "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD".

Taking it seriously, this movie could frighten anyone. You need to watch it to believe it. Excelent direction by Romero, good acting, a haunting score, and scary zombies are all in here. Maybe it's not the best zombie movie ever released, but for it's time it stated the rules for this kind of movies. The last 20 minutes are filled with suspense, and this feeling of anxiety that comes when the main characters are about to be savagely devoured. The ending will be remained as one of the most shocking in horror history.

**SPOILER** I wanted the mention the scene where the zombie girl stabs a woman to death. It's like, you expect the zombie to eat her or something and suddenly she comes slowly to stab her for several times. That was quite scary!. *END OF SPOILER* Give it a try, and convince yourself that true horror does not mean lots of gore and a mysterious killer that is revealed until the end. Way much better than it's remake, or sequels just watch this film and avoid the follow - ups. Truly a classic.
