Night of the Living Dead (1968)
In one film, director George A. Romero changed the world. Do you binge “The Walking Dead”? Read “World War Z” at the beach? Debate with your friends on how to survive a zombie apocalypse? Then you have “Night of the Living Dead” to thank. Romero released his no-budget shocker in 1968, terrifying audiences with his brazenly gruesome visuals and nihilistic political commentary.
