Night of the Living Dead is a classic 1968 horror film directed by George A. Romero. The movie follows a group of people trapped inside a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse who are besieged by an ever-growing number of flesh-eating zombies. With little hope of help from the outside world, the group must use all their resources to survive the night and find a way out of the nightmare. The movie’s bleak, nihilistic ending shocked audiences and made it a classic of the horror genre.
