*Empire*
Within its short confine of pages ... manages to give the film's
production history, narrative, reception, influences, and moral and
political implications in an easy, flowing style free of jargon,
and, though brief, is an essential newcomer to any horror fan or
Romero buff's library.
*The Vancouver Herald*
Night of the Living Dead is another worthy additon to the
bookshelf.
*Filmwerk*
This particular volume of the 'BFI Film Classics' series is
illuminating and educational. Anyone with an interest in horror
films generally will find it fascinating and students of social
history will find the analyses contained stimulating and
informative...Highly recommended.
*Crowsnest*
Hervey’s text is worth reading by any fan… [and] any cinephile
should have it on their shelves.
