A FINE COMEDY
*** MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ***I'm a fan of The Three Stooges. So I had to enjoy this movie. Night of the Living Dead has big similarities between acting, directing, and plot. The most powerful, is the way the movie plays gags so bad and over-the-top, they're laugh-out-loud funny.Night of the Living Dead is a brilliant satire. Not of horror, but of human nature. How easily scared humans are, and how idiotic they act when they get afraid.The creators of this film must have had a lot of fun. At several points, the actors were having a very hard time trying to keep from laughing their heads off. They almost ruined the film! For example, the redhead was almost in tears over how stupid the zombies looked. The zombies themselves were roaring their heads off, groaning and slouching like teenagers, who really, really needed to go to the bathroom. Everything in Night of the Living Dead is funny.There's nothing so cute as a movie that makes fools out of the gullible part of the audience, getting them to take the plot seriously, then making a joke out of it. It's a childlike mischief that gives you a warm feeling inside.This is a good movie for your kids to watch.
