night Of The Living Dead

A visit to her father’s grave turns into a nightmare for Barbara (O’Dea) when a shuffling stiff (Hinzman) walks up and attacks her brother in broad daylight. Panicking, Barbara pegs it into the woods while the lumbering attacker chases after her, finally finding a small farmhouse to hole up in, she locks herself in and catches her breath. Hoping that her pursuer has gone, Barbara peeks out, only to find even more swaying spooks lurching around on the lawn. The discovery of a dead body later and the poor girl is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and that’s when Ben (Jones) shows up. At 6’ 2”, the brooding houseguest immediately takes charge, barricading them in and searching the house for anything useful, while Barbara attempts to come to terms with what’s going on. Finally transmissions begin to trickle out of the radio and television sets, but the news isn’t good. As the realisation dawns that the globe is in the grip of a worldwide zombie attack, the occupants of the house (four of which spring out of the cellar suddenly) try to find a way to escape and get to the nearest gathering point. Whether they can do that before they all kill each other, however, remains to be seen.
