This classic zombie flick has surprisingly good anti-racist messages and is very entertaining. However, there are one or two very violent scenes and there is brief nudity. Still, pretty good.

My rating: PG-13 for images of zombie horror violence and some gore. [NOTE: In 2011, there is probably one factor that might make it R rated, which is the scene in which the undead are eating the intestines of the humans they have killed. It's not graphic, of course, and it's in black and white, of course, but it's gross.]

If this is the classic George A. Romero "Night of the Living Dead" this review's talking about, then I don't know why CSM rates it "iffy for ages 16-17". I just saw this film about a month or so ago--it was pretty violent, but 1. it's in black-and-white and 2. there are two scenes I can remember that are disgusting (not QUITE scary though), which are a. the scene where the dead girl takes a gardening tool and starts stabbing her living mother over and over with it, and b. the scene where the zombies are eating human intestines (again, in black-and-white, and impossible to believe to be realistic, if any form of real at all). The horror starts out (and pretty much ends) as lame horror--just the usual sudden music played to resemble that the "living dead" are coming--but nothing at all is graphic. So I say "iffy for ages 12-13"!

Old or not, this is still the type of film that will give kids nightmares. Not recommended for anyone under 16.

scary and spooky, will give your children nightmares about zombies though... nothing sexual here, except a view of buttcheeks! but thats it! i reccomend for all ages, but still might want to watch with your kids and tell them "its only a movie"

Most likely the most controversial movie of its time, Night of the Living Dead is the grandfather of all zombie movies. The black-and-white of the film adds a little bit of unrealizm to it, and the zombies are so freaking slow! Honestly, a trailer for Zombieland is scarier than this movie, but it is pretty violent. It gave the the creeps, but didn't scar me for life. A great warm up film to the zombie or horror genres that teaches a very important lesson: don't stick together or you'll get murdered by zombies.

I loved this movie and I don't really see anything wrong with it for teens, but I definately wouldn't show it to a younger kid.

This is a wonderful movie! Not really scary at all. Though the scene where the lady gets stabbed by her 6 year old zombie daughter is a little bloody. This is like a Zombie master piece!
