Then, and I don't know why it became such a cultish thing, the movie's a bore.

The movie scared the crap out of me when I first watched it on TV in the middle of the night as a kid. The ending was a kick in the chest that wreaked havoc with my sense of movie justice.

I still think it's great, although my assessment of some of the acting has evolved over the years, especially Tom and Judy's.

The 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake by Tom Savini is an interesting reworking of the original also.
