"This is horror at its most probing, subversive and socially aware, with a truly harrowing ending that reveals the dangers of misdirected fear and prejudice."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

4/5
"This disc is done right!"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A
"A doozie."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Seldom have so many pundit parses and public praises owed so much to so little as in the case of the career-launching 'Night of the Living Dead.'"  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

4/4
"reinvented the American horror film"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"The latest "Ultimate Edition" features a digitally colourised version as well as an audio commentary by Mike Nelson."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

4/4
"There's a brute force in Night of the Living Dead that catches one in the throat."  Slant Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

4/4
"I can't underrate its intangible ability to bypass my rationale and lunge straight at my subconscious. When it's really cooking, it's the scariest film I’ve ever seen."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

A
"It’s the anticipation of horrible scenarios that makes the film work so well."  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

5/5
"Subtext and allegory not your thing? Fine, watch the movie as an intense, nightmarish, claustrophobic exercise in apocalyptic horror. The film works either way."  Mike Bracken's Horror Films  Mike Bracken

"This little seat-of-the-pants regional production chewed up and spit out taboos like raw meat in a feral feeding frenzy."  Seanax.com  Sean Axmaker

"George Romero set a new standard for horror with this low-budget opus."  Cinefantastique  Steve Biodrowski

4/4
"A tightly-edited, claustrophobically-framed horror film that retains, along with its relevance, its ability to startle and appall."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
