Continuity mistake: When Ben, Tom and Judy are trying to escape from the zombies in the truck, it is dark, but when the zombies are giving chase, dawn is breaking, and when the truck gets to the gas pump it is now dark once more. This is just one of a number of scenes in this film that change from darkness to daylight and vice-versa.

This is the CLASSIC George A. Romero Horror/Thriller about an unlucky day that shambling zombies arose from the dead to eat the living and spread their terrible blight! Shot in Black and White, with minimal SFX and a paltry budget yet even today the nightmare premise, decent acting and understated gore cause understandable fear in its viewers. Look for deeper messages and where this film might lead if you dare.
