Landmark Zombie Film submitted by generic username on August 18, 2019, 10:25pm This Criterion edition is a three-disc collection of the film and supporting features. The film is a landmark in the Zombie genre, a standard reference point for films of this type more than fifty years after it was released. The genre has been upgraded many times, but this original, low-budget effort is a solid, suspenseful film.

a classic submitted by lisa on July 20, 2020, 6:10pm Finally I've gotten around to seeing the picture that started it all. Stark yet muddy B&W. A casual diversity of characters. Pretty good stuff!
