Johnny: They're coming to get you, Barbra!
Barbara: You're ignorant!
I saw this movie for the first time, only about 10 years ago! I have never been into the whole zombie genre, but I gave it a try after I saw a clip of someone saying that no self described horror fan could or would miss it! Okay... game on! And the rest is history! This 1968, low budget classic, reminds me of some of the newer low budget horror films, such as, Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, that went on to be big at the box office, and instant cult classics in their own right! Oh my, how I love the old-fashioned horror movies that depend on the slow building of fear, through affective soundtracks, as opposed to the loud, giant flashing special effects and blaring sound. It's too easy to forget a movie, when there is no room for emotional investment, and all that remains is the special effects. I prefer a movie, with a tune that haunts me for days, and an eerie line like, "They're coming to get you, Barbra."
