George A Romero's low-budget black-and-white indie talkfest takes place almost entirely in the confines of a farmhouse where seven people are sheltering from an army of slow-moving, flesh-eating "ghouls" - there are more verbal descriptions of the horror these living dead inflict than horrors seen on screen, yet it is effective and captivating - a well-acted, often-copied launch pad for so much modern horror.
