"If the zombie apocalypse does break out, I'm making a beeline for George Romero's grave. If my fate is to get eaten, it's the least I can do to give the King of the Zombies a hearty meal". Wonderful sentiment xxx
I saw it at 5 on the Late Late Show with my dad, 1970. I've watched it dozens of times since, and I still have the same viscera; aversion to rural landscapes and graveyards 47 years later.
I think movie reviews are your calling Paul.I love the dry delivery. It makes you sound more intelligent like the way a British accent sounds to most Americans.
Brilliant tribute, Paul. This is probably my favorite of your vids so far. Romero's films changed the way I look at movies, especially the fantastic classics, the Night of, Dawn of, and Day of trilogy (though, I think the Land of the Dead, and many of his other films like Creepshow, etc, are excellent). These films were what taught me that a movie can be more than the surface level script, more than entertainment. Aside from being terrifying and entertaining, they're also quite scathing social commentary, as you briefly alluded to. They're the films that taught me that many movies have a philosophical underpinning. They made me appreciate the artistry of film at a much deeper level. "Night of.." was timely social commentary on the senseless, violence of the human condition, where refusal to come together with the "other" has become the catalyst for the demise of all (debuting at the height of the civil rights era, and with the brave inclusion of an unknown black male actor as the lead role and hero of the film)." Dawn of.." was a blisteringly satirical look at the "zombification" of the individual in an industrialized, greedy capitalist society driven by obsessive consumerism. "Day of.." was a critique of the divisive relationship between the military and science, and how advances for humanity are co-opted by the masters of war, instead of used for the betterment of humankind (with anti-war and environmentalist underpinnings). Much later, "Land of.." was a brilliant look at continued class struggles still raging on into the new millennium, a struggle that it seems we'll never end. The zombie always served as the perfect metaphor in all these films. The zombies are us. RIP George Romero, and thank you! Without you, we wouldn't have the modern zombie film/show. You started it all! ✌🏼❤️
Great tribute/review Paul... Night of the Living Dead (1968) is a true classic of the horror genre. It redefined zombie movies, it's an incredible survival film, and the commentary still speaks volumes... George A. Romero was a terrific filmmaker. He may be gone, but he left a amazing legacy!
Great review. I remember watching this movie as a kid and it definitely left me with more respect for the art of film making. I didn't enjoy most of George's later work, but he always had my appreciation for what he contributed to films. Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead are both two of the greatest zombie films ever made.
George Romero was a true legend and will be deeply missed by many myself included he actually shoot a large portion of his films less that 2 hours from where I live here in western PA and around here he was and will remain an icon he was also received many honors from the city of Pittsburgh during his time in the area and even after his works else where
Great review Paul! I agree with you on every point here. Romero was a fantastic artist, and even within his film misses you can still find the parables he tells within his writing and directing. George Romero, may he rest in peace.
Sometime in the late 80s my parents got this VHS tape, and around 89 or 90 I remember popping it in and watching it around age 5, I even remember discussing it with a friend who also has seen it in my kindergarten class out on the playground swingset. The movie took my imagination for a run. You say it made you look at graveyards differently but it also made me look at small country towns back then differently. Every time my family was visiting family in the middle of nowhere back in the days before cellphones and Internet as a kid I always imagined a Night of the Living Dead scenario into the backdrop of the heavily wooded and hilly pastures coutryside. And I sought out and watched the two sequels at the time as well and loved those, around that time the Tom Savini remake of The Night Of The Living Dead was still newish and I liked that one a lot too. Those movies has sparked ENDLESS hours of conversation with people in my lifetime. Kinda like on a Star Wars scale of time spent talking about.
My brother and I watched NOTLD on an after midnight TV broadcast (the rabbit ears were working fine that night) when I was around 12 and he 11. It really messed us up that night! The scene where walking dead Johnny drags his sister out of the house freaked us the hell out. Making it even scarier is that we lived in an isolated farmhouse that was up a half-mile dirt road/driveway. My brother's bedroom was downstairs and mine was upstairs. Not five minutes after we shut off the TV and went to bed, my brother burst into my room, bedroll in tow, and said, "I'm sleeping on your floor tonight." Neither of us slept well that night. Years later, we still laughed about that....and I still think this movie is scary as shit.
Night of the living dead is my favorite movie and this gentleman’s take on it is amazing I truly appreciate it very much in fact I saw that very movie last night
Nice job, man. They showed this to me in Grade 5 in 1974 (that copyright thing traumatized a lot of kids, I suspect). It shaped me too. The terror I felt about this movie kept me up nights for an entire summer....and led directly to my finding my way into the film business as an adult. An absolutely terrific(in both ways) movie. I like, also, that you mention that Romero, while being a pioneer, was not always the greatest filmmaker. He had great ideas, but may have suffered from being trapped in the Ghoul Movie genre after his first outing.
An excellent review. Very effective and relatable how you integrated your own personal experiences into the mix. It's interesting to contemplate the facts surrounding your access as to this film as a child-- your parents' public domain VHS tape copy. Imagine for a moment the way it was for some of us older devotees of the genre -- having to patiently wait until some regional TV station saw fit to run the movie on the late-late show, complete with annoying commercials, and it STILL somehow succeeded in scaring the living crap out of us and scarring us for life. It can never be underestimated how Romero took those hapless sleep-walking hordes seen in 1932's "White Zombie", and so masterfully transformed them into relentless, flesh-eating fiends. The nightmares inspired by NOTLD among generations of people must literally defy measure. Anyway, this was truly a fitting tribute to a real innovator of the genre, and of bare-bones / low-budget filmmaking in general. Someone doesn't actually need piles of money in order to make a good movie, if they've got a compelling story to tell, and a group of friends willing to serve their vision... Well done!
Only just now watch some of the CFC content, and damn Paul I have to say you own this. From the videos I've seen so far, you shine at this. Which I already knew from DFF and your obvious love for film. But you just do really well with these movies reviews. Looking forward to digging in some more!
Paul! Loving this channel so far. This is one of my favourite movies and I'm happy to see you using your charm and wit in this new way. As a long time patron of your work, you are doing a great job. Keep it up!
I just stopped watching Joey Diaz talking about some stuff back in the day and I said I would check if there was a new upload, and I'm delighted. Cheers
This review earned my subscribe. Night of the Living Dead still scares me, and I can remember clearly being introduced at a young age, only to be kept up all night with my imagination running wild.
The first time I saw NotLD...I left the theater after the first few minutes. I couldn't take it. The atmosphere was so intense it just cowled me. Eventually, I saw the whole thing, and saw a masterpiece. It's still the most horrifying of all the Living Dead films.
Zeego! I love this review! I remember seeing this flick for the first time! At the time I was still in a Fundamentalist Christian Religion at the time, so my Superstitions and Night Terrors were at their WORST! I never forgot the zombie chick's naked ass... but I digress. The movie disturbed me greatly and gave me the heebie-jeebies. That scene with the head at the top of the stairs haunted my mind. Even more so, the Zombie girl slaying her own Mom with the trowel and the sloshy sound it made while her Mom's screams echoed! Holy Shit! That is Terror / Horror Cringe! Jeez! That is an awful scene! I liked how they featured an African American Hero in the flick who was very smart and was NOT a Stooge. The final scene at the hands of ignorant, prejudiced, frightened, white cops was a POWERFUL and SCATHING comment on Society.
cool story in the beginning. reminds me of the nightmare my favorite game of all time, Dragon Valor, gave me. i dreamed about seeing a real dragon, thinking "that fucking thing is gonna scorch the entire planet" while i was trying to hide:p
Uncle Ben Upvote. Shit, I'd like to see him do Land of the Dead too, which was from 2005 I think. The OG trilogy is the best, but I still think Land of was a great film too. See it if you haven't. Only one I haven't seen is Diary of the Dead, which I think he did in 2010.. Creepshow was another classic Romero/King film too. I'd like to see him cover that at some point.
You should do a review on Phantasm. I think it'd be the shit to get your opinion, I'm a huge fan of the film and series. But will be unbiased to hear your opinion.
it doesn't matter if there's nowhere to go outside the farm house, it's easier to evade zombies out in the open and it's almost impossible to get trapped
This is one of my most favorite horror films of all time! You don't have to see a lot of zombies or blood to be terrified because it's what's happening the house and I was terrified. It's one movie that I watch every year. Slasher films blood gore limbs flying. Doesn't bother me! It's the fear of others and the story that is woven around that that scares me and means horror for me.
I have a suggestion for a review, and the movie is called "The Changeling". Not the one with Angelina Jolie, but the one with acting legend George C. Scott. It's an underrated horror mystery that relies on story and setting---not gore and violence. It's awesome.
Paul, I will fucking mow your lawn. Even if you don't have one. I'll plant one myself, in your own front room. Then, I'll mow it. Because you asked, Paul. You asked for it, and I shall deliver upon you the best lawn planting/mowing you will ever see in your entire life!
You know what surprised me most about this film? The black guy doesn't die first. On the contrary, he's one of the people to make it almost to the end. It's a bit sad how tropes and clichés have taken over the horror genre, especially in zombie movies, so in that regard this film is very refreshing.
Oh, see, NOW I just wanna see Mayberry get overrun with zombies and see Barney Fife, armed only with his ONE bullet, have to take down a huge horde. Maybe have someone whistle a creepy version of the theme song...
Man this is still my one of my favorite horror movies. My best friend scared the piss out of me by jumping out at me after going to the bathroom while watching it a few years ago. Fuck man i was so in that horror set of mind i pushed my girlfriend out of the way to get to the living the room. For my money this is Romero's horror masterpiece the other got way more hokey and comedic. Great review Paul i hope this comment gave you a smile. If i may make a humble request. and i am a measly clerk of the court in florida, please do my favorite horror film of all time John Carpenter's The Thing.
I feel horrible for kids who grow up without constantly connected the internet. Being a child in the nineties I was of the last generation that experienced true freedom.
One of my favorite Zombie esque movies was children shouldn't play with dead things. I had to walk through a grave yard as a kid to get to my grandmothers house and I felt like I was being watched, but I'm neurotic so...
I really do love Paul's Ego, in fact in the upper right hand corner of my screen is one of his most viewed outings on youtube. America: The Beautiful or The Shameful? Few thing's in this world are more compelling and entertaining as Paul fired up and passionate. I hear a lot of these videos and I hear Robopaul. It sounds like someone is holding his dog at gunpoint forcing him to get on camera and review films from a cynical perspective. The space mutiny review was fun, but Paul, you really need to find some films out there with subject-matter that genuinely gets you passionate and loud. I know they can't all be like that, but sprinkle em in ya know? I'm a genuine fan of Pauls, I hope the tone of these reviews will change somewhat.
The only time I ever REALLY freaked out in a cemetery was when I was about 17. My buddy and I were just out cruising, because that's what you did in rural Michigan back then on a Friday night, and he wanted to check out this township cemetery that I'd never heard of. It was just around dusk, in the middle of Fall with the leaves all at their most autumnal. We had to follow a short two-track off the main road just to get in the place, and it was this tiny graveyard with dense forest ALL around it, and some of the graves were over a hundred years old and there were depressions in the ground in front of many of the headstones. It was creepy enough, then a I saw a FUCKING BAT fly overhead! That's what sent me into "LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" mode! I'm just thinking how this is the part in the movie when like the car won't start and the phones go dead...
As good as this movie is on its own, it's even better with Rifftrax commentary. The live version is hilarious!! Totally worth a watch for any fan of this film or Mystery Science Theater 3000.
a thing that rarely gets pointed out is, the 'bad guy's' plan for survival was the right one and the hero gets everyone killed. They always point out 'first black guy leading man/hero', but never that he was incompetent. And too stupid to yell a greeting at the end, confirming his humanity. He literally got everyone killed, incuding himself.[just another thing that makes the movie great]
Great review. "Don't go in the house" was the one movie that disturbed me as a kid. The whole thing! And the skull crushing scene in platoon. Love platoon now, as i got older. Fuck the house sicko movie. My folks let us watch any movie as long as there wasn't a lot of t an a
Review Manos - the Hands of Fate please. Just saw the old dp Episode where you and tj hated on it. Would love to see your full review of the unredeemable movie now.
LOL **imagines Paul chasing a butterfly with a stick**
imagine the rolls of fat bouncing and heavy wheezing
I don't know why, but when I imagine that, I imagine it playing alongside The Turtles' "So Happy Together". I don't know why.

Rest in peace George. Zombies are bigger than ghosts at this point in time.
I saw it at 5 on the Late Late Show with my dad, 1970. I've watched it dozens of times since, and I still have the same viscera; aversion to rural landscapes and graveyards 47 years later.

Well shit. I didn't know he George was dead until this video. Bummer. He and a few handful of film-makers made my childhood more exciting.
I'm getting fatter and my egos getting bigura.
Set out to the corner, have myself a cigura

My favorite video of yours paul, Great channel.
11yrs old, Halloween, home alone in the quiet 90s. That's where I was when I first saw this classic.

I didn't enjoy most of George's later work, but he always had my appreciation for what he contributed to films.
Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead are both two of the greatest zombie films ever made.
Romero was a genius, he will be missed. I just rented a lot of his films from my local library.
I'm really glad you're making solo content again Paul, loving this channel.
George Romero was a true legend and will be deeply missed by many myself
included he actually shoot a large portion of his films less that 2

wow i felt your connection to this film, more than any pop culture zombie action figures in the background could have ever given!!!
Sometime in the future, I'm gonna have to do some fanart of Paul chasing butterflies. This is a visual that needs to be seen.
Sometime in the late 80s my parents got this VHS tape, and around 89 or 90 I remember popping it in and watching it around age 5, I even remember discussing it with a friend who also has seen it in my kindergarten class out on the playground swingset.

Those movies has sparked ENDLESS hours of conversation with people in my lifetime. Kinda like on a Star Wars scale of time spent talking about.
All the locations where they shot this movie are within a 90-minute drive from my house. It was neat visiting them all after George passed.

I’m still laughing about “Doctor Stringface McDickfingers” from his WTF Happened To Hellraiser vid. Too damn funny!

Scariest movie I've ever seen . I live in the woods so when I watch it I open all the doors and windows so if something wants in it will get in .
Paul! Loving this channel so far. This is one of my favourite movies and I'm happy to see you using your charm and wit in this new way. As a long time patron of your work, you are doing a great job. Keep it up!
Night of the Living Dead is masterpiece and one of my favorites! Love horror, zombies and low budget.
the world deprived of a true master of the genre. you will be missed George.
I don’t know why but I love hearing about your love for movies. I’ve always felt the same way too
R.I.P. George A. Romero :(

I just recently discovered Cinema For Cynics and now they don't even upload videos anymore. By far my favorite movie reviews. Well damn. 🤷♂️
Will you do the whole living dead trilogy? pls bb
Uncle Ben Upvote. Shit, I'd like to see him do Land of the Dead too, which was from 2005 I think. The OG trilogy is the best, but I still think Land of was a great film too. See it if you haven't. Only one I haven't seen is Diary of the Dead, which I think he did in 2010.. Creepshow was another classic Romero/King film too. I'd like to see him cover that at some point.

I have a suggestion for a review, and the movie is called "The Changeling". Not the one with Angelina Jolie, but the one with acting legend George C. Scott. It's an underrated horror mystery that relies on story and setting---not gore and violence. It's awesome.
Thanks for this... You've given me a million things to think about. Subbed.
Paul, I will fucking mow your lawn. Even if you don't have one. I'll plant one myself, in your own front room. Then, I'll mow it. Because you asked, Paul. You asked for it, and I shall deliver upon you the best lawn planting/mowing you will ever see in your entire life!

I actually live not too far from the cemetery where they filmed this. Its in zillionople PA I believe or around there at least
Oh, see, NOW I just wanna see Mayberry get overrun with zombies and see Barney Fife, armed only with his ONE bullet, have to take down a huge horde. Maybe have someone whistle a creepy version of the theme song...
Man this is still my one of my favorite horror movies. My best friend scared the piss out of me by jumping out at me after going to the bathroom while watching it a few years ago. Fuck man i was so in that horror set of mind i pushed my girlfriend out of the way to get to the living the room. For my money this is Romero's horror masterpiece the other got way more hokey and comedic. Great review Paul i hope this comment gave you a smile. If i may make a humble request. and i am a measly clerk of the court in florida, please do my favorite horror film of all time John Carpenter's The Thing.
You seem dead inside. Very fitting for this content and platform. Hope to see more of your creepypasta readings.
"I'm Pual's Ego, and I'm perpetually depressed"
Damn those reviews are on point really enjoying it.
GJ Paul ;]
This is my favorite review that you've done, and I totally agree. I've seen this movie several times, and it definitely is a masterpiece. ;)
"They're Coming To Get You Barbara!"
I think most people have reservations about graves since death is the most common fear .
I feel horrible for kids who grow up without constantly connected the internet. Being a child in the nineties I was of the last generation that experienced true freedom.
George Romero is.. And always will be the Father of the Zombies.. R. I. P
One of my favorite Zombie esque movies was children shouldn't play with dead things. I had to walk through a grave yard as a kid to get to my grandmothers house and I felt like I was being watched, but I'm neurotic so...

Bats are normal occurrences in those areas. I don't understand what spooked you.
I love the energy, seriously
As good as this movie is on its own, it's even better with Rifftrax commentary. The live version is hilarious!! Totally worth a watch for any fan of this film or Mystery Science Theater 3000.

A fitting tribute to George Romero and NOTLD.
What the shit, really? I literally never heard that George passed up until right now. God damn.
A brilliant heartfelt review.
Me with Jeepers Creepers nightmare of my childhood
Paul, if you make a review of Dawn of The Dead (1978) I will very pleased
oh man, he's dead? damn, I hadn't even heard about that...
OMFG! One of my favorite directors is dead! Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead were some of my favorite films!
I don't like zombies, but would like to watch this. maybe we have it on DVD
Great review. "Don't go in the house" was the one movie that disturbed me as a kid. The whole thing! And the skull crushing scene in platoon. Love platoon now, as i got older. Fuck the house sicko movie. My folks let us watch any movie as long as there wasn't a lot of t an a
Don't, go, chasin butterflies;)
This is the best review of night of the living dead
I love Paul's reviews. The only thing that compares is YMS.
Also, review Cool Cat Saves the Kids.
Even though so many have, i'd LOVE to see Paul do it.
And red letter media
I remember seeing this film- but in colour.. did they remake it or something?
Review Manos - the Hands of Fate please. Just saw the old dp Episode where you and tj hated on it. Would love to see your full review of the unredeemable movie now.
I think we all know what "lawn" you were talking about Paul. ;P
Please do "A Serbian Film" "Southland Tales" and "Kick'Ass".....Please do one of these
Your best review so far in my in my opinion.
Can you review David Cronenberg's The Fly?
Thoughts on the 1990 remake? I will never understand the people who think it has better acting
Love you Paul!
this is still one of my favorite horror films. the original children of the corn was badass too but that's not related lol
Lol I was around the same age when I first saw that movie. Probably between 6 and 9
I love these so much.
I love horror movies and Zombie movie. Gorge will be missed
If you havent already seen it, shutter island is really good in my opinion.
holly shit, no dislikes so far
This is my favourite zombie film sharn of the dead second
Paul did you enjoy George's 80s remake?
