Ultimately, it depends on you, and your willingness to go along with it despite the fact it's more an ambiguous, slow-burn character study (the closest Romero has come to gritty realism) rather than some of the more exuberent gorefests he has done otherwise. You may well not quite like it the first time you see it, but as others in this thread have attested, it will haunt your mind and won't let go until you see it again, at which point you may discover it's a "grower".

As you say, with the price you can't go wrong - if you really don't like it, I'm sure you could get a decent price for it on eBay.
