In this classic black-and-white horror film, a group of strangers board up in an abandoned house when corpses in a graveyard rise up and start taking bites out of living humans. For a movie made in the '60s, "Night of the Living Dead" stands out because its resourceful protagonist, Ben, is a Black man – and the only Black person in the film. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director George A. Romero claimed he didn't consider Duane Jones's race when he cast him. However, audiences and critics have interpreted Ben's character arc as a commentary on race relations in the US. Whether intentional or not, you'll find that like "Get Out," this film is rich with thought-provoking messages.
