One of the Iconic Zombie Films

One of the most iconic zombie films - one that most modern day horror zombie films own homage to. Romero unleashes a plot that is both horrifying (and often instantly and shockingly violent) and rife with social commentary. It certainly isn't an accident that the film's iconic climax is set in a shopping mall, as the film takes not-so-subtle potshots at consumerism and materialism. That said, it's very effective, full of intense acting, and some creepy and scary zombie "crowd" sequences.
