Night of the Living Dead (1968) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Sam in the intro ''I guess we'll have the original Dawn of the Dead to watch'' Daniel replies a bold ''EVENTUALLY'' I went from a beaming smile to a frown 🥲 Put your foot down for the people Sam ,don't let Daniel delay us for months and months and months and years Thank you

Look out, Arbogast!

An incredible step forward in horror filmmaking. That hopeless ending and inserting social commentary via a film about zombie survival made Romero an instand standout. This was a filmmaker who had a LOT of thoughts about the civil rights movement and vietnam war. But he never distracted from main story at hand.

I saw this when it first came out ( I was 13 yrs old in 1968) and I remember the feeling I am having now...BARBARA is so annoying. Don't get me wrong the movie is great. Really scary with minimal technology but Barbara...in a Zombie situation I would totally abandon her with her near catatonic responses.

LOL! We definitely won't be watching Dawn of the Dead during Spooky Season since this is the last film of Spooky Season, BUT I will try to make sure we don't go too long before we get to the rest of the franchise! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Always so important for us to keep in mind the timing of when these films come out! Very good points! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

LOL I tried to give Barbara some grace, but GIRL, DO SOMETHING! -Sam

There's a remake that came out in 1990 that I consider quite good. Directed by legendary make up artist Tom Savini. He has a little different take on the Barbara character. It also stars horror legend Tony Todd. I hope you check it out eventually.

RIP, Tony Todd.

Great reaction as always. It seems people come down hard on Barbara, but she has the most realistic reaction of them all, that of utter shock, to what is happening (and you say as much). As to how people first reacted to this, the film critic Roger Ebert wrote an article about a matinee screening he went to in Chicago, full of kids (this was just before the MPAA rating system went into effect). At the beginning the kids were being raucous, expecting a normal 50's/60's monster movie. As the movie progressed, the kids became more and more silent and were genuinely petrified by what they were watching. Here's the article in case you're interested: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-night-of-the-living-dead-1968. Some trivia- Karen was played by the real life daughter of the actor who played Harry. I believe the director George Romero can be seen as one of the reporters interviewing the generals in Washington D.C. This movie fell into the public domain because they changed the title at the last minute, and the title card didn't have a copyright notice (which was required at the time). Some reactors have managed to get a full unedited reaction posted. You probably won't get away with it though - it seems this restored version might have a small amount of additional footage in it (probably to re-assert copyright), and I noticed a copyright notice at the end. I recommend The Return of the Living Dead - it was co-written by John Russo - a co-writer of NOTLD, and Russell Streiner, who played Johnny and was a co-producer of NOTLD. There was a bit of a split between George Romero and Russo; Romero would go on to write/direct the "Dawn/Day of the Dead"" series, and Russo would write the "Return of the Living Dead" series. "Return" is more of a comedic horror movie- but definitely has genuine horror elements. And I hope this isn't your only horror movie for spooky season! I hope my pick on the Schmitt wheel wins- another George Romero film (plus Stephen King!) (As I write this, I realize you said this was your last movie because you said this is coming out on Halloween, I'm assuming the edited reaction),

Only of the greatest horror movies of all time, and eagle-eyed social commentary to boot. Good shit.

David Martin

I think this was made for about $50.

Love it!!!!!!!!

I don't know if you remember Halloween 2, in the first scene where Michael sneaks into an old couple's house and steals the knife while she's making a sandwich, this movie is playing on the TV. The first scene: "They're coming to get you, Barbra". Dawn of the Dead is great as well, it's a must-watch. After that, like so many horror sequels, they start to go off the rails, although the 4th is better than the 3rd.

It's been 57 years since this film was released, and it still manages to send chills down my spine. When I first saw this as a kid, watching the living dead eat the remains of Tom and Judy made me a little nauseous. It gets more graphic as the Movies progress, so I hope that eventually y'all will get to them (especially Day of the Dead).

Love this one. Dawn of the Dead '78 is my fave. Return of the Living Dead is the height of campy fun.

Scott Kerr

So here's an interesting note about this film: The film was actually shot just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and, after filming, it was transported via the trunk of a car to New York City to see if anybody actually wanted to show the movie. That night, while George A. Romero (director) was transporting the film, he heard on the radio that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been shot and killed. The irony of this is that the lead character in this film is an African American man (which, for the time, was very rare) and the actor actually does an amazing job considering this is such a low-budget film.

Renee S

Classic. I've already seen so many reactions, but I'm looking forward to seeing yours :)

I first saw this around 2000 when I was a young teen, and it still holds up. - I laughed hard at Samantha's funny animal head scare. - When he punched Barbra, it was funny because she needed to calm down. - The look on your faces of absolute disgust during the bug-eating zombie scene - I laughed when David said, "Your jacket Judy?!" because it was such a random thing that kept her in the truck. 1968 and the turmoil in the country likely influenced this movie. What a screwed up awful decade.

This opens up so much great horror cinema, love that you guys finally watched this. I'll be so psyched if you guys do watch the entire original Romero trilogy, plus some or all of the movies that were referenced in Shaun Of The Dead lol. Like the Lucio Fulcci movies and one of my favorites, Cemetery Man, aka Dellamorte Dellamore. And I'd also second the motion that the 1990 remake (slight reimagining) with Romero producing and Tom Savini, the original special FX guy, directing. Patty Tallman and Tony Todd are fantastic in it. It's one of my favorites.

Miles E Coburn

I would suggest also watching the Tom Savini 1990 remake of the movie starring Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman. The biggest difference (in my opinion) is that the Barbara character isn't the whimpering, scared witless character she is in this original version.
