Night of the Living Dead. Honestly, this movie scared the hell out of me at certain parts. Maybe not scared, but it was more suspenseful than I would have thought. The part that was honestly just creepy was when she was playing with the musical box type object that was a mirror too and it was spinning around. The way she stared at it honestly and in all sincerity gave me the chills. The part that first had an effect on me though was when Ben punched Barbara after she slapped him. To be honest, she was annoying me too because all she did was sit and stare when in reality she should have been assisting Ben, but that was no reason to punch her. The movie was both predictable and unpredictable. The predictable part was the whole thing about the little girl turning into a zombie. From what they were saying on the news and how her mother didn't tell the others about how she got sick, it was obvious that she was going to become one of the living dead. The unpredictable part however, was Barbara dying. I'm used to happy endings and protagonists not dying so the fact that she was pulled out into the zombie herd by her own brother surprised me immensely. One thing from the movie that I did not understand however was why the little girl who became a zombie did not eat her mother. Throughout the movie they did not show any zombies killing people. It was more of zombies eating people so it surprised me that the girl stabbed her mother, killing her, but not eating her. The last aspect of this movie that interested me was how Cooper was so much like Shane from The Walking Dead. They both wanted to believe in the government coming to save them and basically just wanted to wait in hideouts like sitting ducks. Also, they both take part in struggling for control with the male hero in the story. All in all, Night of the Living Dead was another movie which I did not think I would like, but ended up surprising me.

I agree with you about this movie being predictable at some points and unpredictable at others. I agree that the little girl turning into a zombie was super predictable. I think that Barbara dying was not that unpredictable. I thought Ben dying was the most unpredictable.
