Night of the Living Dead (1968)

An American horror film directed by George A. Romero.
When dead people start getting up and attacking the living, a group of people congregate inside a house.
This is one of the few horror films that actually scared me the first time I watched it. Even watching it again is a little creepy. It's just made so well and with such style. The video is a little dark and shadowy, but still clear. The audio is a little on the nasty side, but it works so well in this context. I really liked the gloomy synthesizer soundtrack. Plotwise, there are multiple types of conflict going on and the characters each get a little bit of back-story. Amazing camera-work, fitting setting/set, top quality acting, etc... Everything just comes together so nicely into a scary film. When a horror film can scare me, I have to rate it best. This is definitely one to watch for anyone interested in horror movies or films that are made very well.
