Ben Hervey makes an excellent fist of uniting all the tales of George A. Romero's genre-defining debut. * Empire * Within its short confine of pages ... manages to give the film's production history, narrative, reception, influences, and moral and political implications in an easy, flowing style free of jargon, and, though brief, is an essential newcomer to any horror fan or Romero buff's library. -- D.K. Holm * The Vancouver Herald * Night of the Living Dead is another worthy additon to the bookshelf. * Filmwerk * This particular volume of the 'BFI Film Classics' series is illuminating and educational. Anyone with an interest in horror films generally will find it fascinating and students of social history will find the analyses contained stimulating and informative...Highly recommended. -- Neale Monks * Crowsnest * Hervey's text is worth reading by any fan... [and] any cinephile should have it on their shelves. * Sublime Horror *
