Continuity mistake: At the beginning, Barbara finds a corpse at the top of the farmhouse stairs with its face partially eaten away. Later, when Ben drags the corpse into another room we get a fleeting glimpse of its face and it shows no sign of decay of any sort.

This is the CLASSIC George A. Romero Horror/Thriller about an unlucky day that shambling zombies arose from the dead to eat the living and spread their terrible blight! Shot in Black and White, with minimal SFX and a paltry budget yet even today the nightmare premise, decent acting and understated gore cause understandable fear in its viewers. Look for deeper messages and where this film might lead if you dare.
