We may not enjoy living together, but dying together isn't going to solve anything.

The classic Romero zombie flick that established modern zombie storytelling. If it were not for this great film, we wouldn’t have all of the award-winning zombie literature we have today. The story of a group of survivors attemping to weather the zombie apocalypse in a lone farmhouse in the country. What will they do in order to survive what is to come? Zombie related mayhem ensues.
