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.

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"

This movie was one of the first horror movies to cast a black man as an intelligent, articulate character instead of a stereotype. The final scenes of the movie are still shocking and effective. On the whole, this is a well-acted movie, but it's too intense for children.

This is considered one of the classics of horror cinema. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up. The acting is poor. The zombie effects aren't interesting. It is remarkable that this movie, even in the late 60's was considered shocking with director Herschell Gordon Lewis working to give us such films as, The wizard of Gore, and The Gore Gore Girls. This film has good direction that other shock movies lack, but it also lacks shock value for any modern audience.

This movie has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. That said, it's not for kids. It has a lot of brutal violence and a very negative ending. I really did enjoy the "Anniversary Edition", and if you are a fan of the original movie, you should check it out. I don't think it deserved a 16+ rating; I would probably give it a 14+.
