Night of the Living Dead dir. George Romero

As the perfection of the genre 'zombie' greatly enhances it's characteristics overtime, this was not one of them. Unfortuneately this particular zombie flick had my attention directed elsewhere. I was not impressed with the acting of the characters and especially the monsters. It took me about ten minutes after the first zombie was introduced to figure out it was an actual zombie. This being said, the costumes of the monsters were very dull and the acting was not shocking, scary, or unpredictable. One positive trend I noticed for the monsters is finally towards the end of the film they started to evolve by using hand tools and other materials to kill their victims in a faster fashion. The zombies looked just as confused as the people did, which signaled that the acting on both parts was not believable for me. The most interesting scenes of the movie were only when the victims in the house turned against one another because of the 'stress' and conditions that they were all put in. Lastly, the point that there was no explaination of the killing sprees butchered the film by not tying in a plot for the movie.
