Night of the Living Dead

When the recently dead begin to rise and feed on the living, a small group of strangers barricade themselves inside a rural farmhouse, struggling to survive both the siege outside and the fear within. Shot in stark black and white and made with independent grit, the film reshaped the zombie myth into a vehicle for social tension, media distrust, and moral fracture. Its relentless final movement remains one of the most unsettling conclusions in American horror.
