Stands as a firm and very convincing argument that Night of the Living Dead (1968) is among the most important and influential films of all time.

Mr. Romero, manifesting a self-effacing demeanor and sensible humanity, is a most agreeable raconteur.

Sweet and simple, Birth of the Living Dead is a nostalgic, informative trip back to the origins of the modern zombie, featuring a George A. Romero who is as spry and entertaining as ever.
November 05, 2013
What distinguishes this doc from much of the tedious critical prose Romero has inspired is the fan-boy and fan-girl ardor that fuels its smarts - both behind and in front of the camera.

Fans won't learn much from it that they didn't already know.

Rob Kuhns's amusing but perfunctory documentary about the origins of the 1968 ur-text of zombiedom, George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead."
November 05, 2013
Kuhns makes time for political insights, provocative montages of race riots cut with the movie's hick militia, and the comments of owlish Romero himself, who recounts the shoot like the enthusiastic 27-year-old he was.

What works here is enthusiasm, enjoying a wealth of appreciation presented to a worthy production, reinforcing its status as a groundbreaking picture that reverberates to this day.

Basically a glamorized DVD extra, but it entertains.

A reminder that this zombie flick was as much a product of its time as "Easy Rider" or "The Graduate".
