Night of the Living Dead question/discussion

The 1968 and 1990 remake were two of my favorite films as a kid. I've probably seen those two more times than any other movie.
Alright, Cooper wanted the group to go down into the cellar for the night and stay quiet. It may have worked until it came time for his daughter to come back (Then I can see shite hitting the fan), it may have worked. Protected Ben.
Ok..they are in a large 2 story farmhouse. Why not let Cooper have his cellar, get everyone upstairs, then knock out the stairs and hit the lights? Get everyone on the roof laying down, or in the attic staying quiet. The had at least 1 repeater rifle if there were an emergency.
It just makes more sense than having every light in the house on with multiple people hammering and making as much noise as they can through the night.

That's kind of what's funny about the movie -- if they had just sit tight, turned off the lights and shut the frick up they probably would have been fine. It was their own innate sense of survival that inexorably killed them.

The whole zombie phenomenon was new back then. They didn't know how to act.

Didn't take too long, especially in the remake for them to realise "tbeyre so slow..we could just walk right past them".
By that time, when There were just a couple..and they've had the discussion of more being out there, with what a group did to coopers car, it would make sense in the situation to say, "we have a lot of open field surrounding us, let's get to higher ground, eliminate the only way to follow, and we have the option of defending this place 360 degrees IF we have to. There is a bathroom on the 2nd floor so there is a water source. Lets get what we can eat and take it with us. Etc"
In the morning, in both films..help came. If they could have just lasted 1 initial night, they probably would have made it. New to zombies or not, you see the situation and react.

U can see the brilliance in making this movie. Romero was thinking out of the box. Very well done
I never questioned the storyline above .

The black guy was the only one with any sense. The rest of those people were either stupid and hysterical like that white woman, or didn't want to accept reality like that sick girl's parents.

In the remake Mr Cooper was more of an a-hole, than just scared more than anything else, like in the original. Ben had good intentions, just very poor decisions and execution. Is my favorite performance by Tony Todd.
Honestly, just was a horrible group. incompetent.

Saw the original in the theater when it came out as a nine year old. Was by far the best horror film I'd seen. From a nine year old's point of view, the "Looks like someone had a barbecue" line was the greatest line I'd ever heard.
Sheriff J.W. Pepper's duo of great lines... "I got me a regular Ben Hur" and "I take it this ain't exactly your debut at this sort of thing" probably replaced it as my favorites in 1973.

The remake was actually directed by Tom Savini. It's hokey but still underrated.
There's another remake from 06 that's 3D.
