Night of the Living Dead

The movie Night of the Living Dead is most certainly different from most zombie movies I have seen. The zombie's physical features are probably the most different between movies. In zombie movies today, zombies are slow, limp, and weak. They do not really lift things or tear things down. In the movie The Night of the Living Dead the zombies pound things down and look a lot stronger. They are still slow but don't look as limp as today's zombies. They also look more realistic and like regular humans. Their faces are normal versus today's zombie movies that make the zombies look more dead. In the tv series The Walking Dead, the zombies are very gory and look as if they are deteriorating by the minute. With today's special effects and technology, producers can now make the zombies more "zombie" like by having their bodies be open, showing their ribs and jaws. The Night if the Living Dead is also different from The Walking Dead because the living dead survivors have communication with the outside world compared to the walking dead survivors that are portrayed as the only survivors left and on their own. The Night of the Living Dead is the granddaddy of zombie movies and will continue to set the stage for future zombie movies.
