Critical Analysis #2 Carlos Eduardo S. Moliterno 1968’s “Night of the Living Dead” is one of the most influential zombie movies of all time. Despite its extremely low budget the movie was a great success. I actually believe that the limited budget is what made the movie successful. Due to the fact that it was shot in black-and-white‚ it gave the film an unique look contributing to its style.

I think the issue is important because it involves the responsibility of the spiritual advisor‚ the salvation and redemption of the criminal‚ and

As a woman of God‚ she saw the human side of this person although she did not condone what he had done. She realizes her faults in dealing with the families of the
