Night of the Living Dead should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Night of the Living Dead actually is?
Everyone praising the Night of the Living Dead performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Night of the Living Dead?
Just got out of Night of the Living Dead and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Rewatched Night of the Living Dead last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
