Night of the Living Dead (1968)
In a world where the dead revive and live on the flesh of living humans, people struggle against survival from those blood thirsty, who wander the world and kill anyone they face, the thing that makes humanity in danger, as people run away and hide from them, such as the young woman who goes to hide inside a farmhouse, where she finds many people there, with whom she unites to find a solution.

It's a virulent portrait of an America in flux and decay, from the flag billowing near the graveyard at the start to its disturbing depiction of a lynch-mob mentality. But Night also transcends its period through sheer intensity.

I felt real terror in that neighborhood theater last Saturday afternoon. I saw kids who had no resources they could draw upon to protect themselves from the dread and fear they felt.

Although pic's basic premise is repellent -- recently dead bodies are resurrected and begin killing human beings in order to eat their flesh -- it is in execution that the film distastefully excels.

Chuckle, if you can, during the first few minutes; because after that laughter catches in the throat as the clammy hand of terror tightens its grip.
