George Romero's gory, style-setting 1968 horror film, made for pennies in Pittsburgh. Its premise--the unburied dead arise and eat the living--is a powerful combination of the fantastic and the dumbly literal. Over its short, furious course, the picture violates so many strong taboos--cannibalism, incest, necrophilia--that it leaves audiences giddy and hysterical.  The ominous external threat of a building army of zombies, without mind or reason, contrasts cruelly with the internal bickering of the survivors trying to cling to humanity. It becomes increasingly clear that there will be no obvious reprieve for these characters, nor will a hero come to save them.
