Night of the Living Dead (1968) - Romero shot this for the price of a used car and changed the world forever. This isn't just a horror flick; it's a claustrophobic riot of the soul. When the dead start hungry-walking, the thin veneer of civilization snaps like a dry twig. It’s raw, it’s bleak, and it’s beautiful. If you see a ghoul in the yard, don't call the law—lock the goddamn door.
