Night of the Living Dead
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film directed by George A. Romero. The film stars Duane Jones as Ben, Judith O'Dea as Barbra
and Karl Hardman as Harry Cooper.
Barbra (Judith O'Dea) and Johnny (Russell Streiner) drive to rural Pennsylvania for an annual visit to their father's grave. Noticing Barbra's discomfort,
Johnny teases, "They're coming to get you, Barbra", before she is attacked by a strange man (Bill Hinzman). Johnny tries to rescue his sister, but falls and bashes
his head on a gravestone, killing himself. Barbra flees by car but almost instantly crashes into a tree. With the man in pursuit, she starts running, which includes
the de rigueur stumble-and-fall and the loss of her shoes. She arrives at a farmhouse where, to her horror, she discovers a woman's mangled corpse. Running out of
the house, she is confronted by strange menacing figures like the man in the graveyard. Ben (Duane Jones) arrives in a truck and takes her back inside the house.
Barbra slowly descends into shock as Ben drives the monsters from the house and begins boarding up the doors and windows.
