RiffTrax Live Night of the Living Dead (2013)

This classic 1968 horror film is where it all began No not the cronut trend were talking about the omnipresent zombie craze 28 Weeks Later Resident Evil Retribution that Zack Snyder remake of Dawn of the DeadWe wouldnt have any of them without Night of the Living Dead Pause to think about whether this is a good thing When shes attacked in a cemetery by zombies a young woman named Barbara flees to an abandoned farm house There shes joined by a ragtag group of survivors who band together to wait out the apocalypse with the occasional light descent into madness The rest of the movie plays out like The Big Chill but instead of Glenn Close sobbing naked in the shower they board up windows and occasionally get devoured alive So in this respect Night of the Living Dead is the slightly less depressing movie
