a zombie reaches its hand through a window, and when someone attacks it, its fingers crumble off into dust.

zombies- not necessarily cannibalism, seeing as one party is not alive, but still cannibal-like

There is a corpse with its eyeball exposed (no socket) but the eyeball is intact

It's hard to say in 2022. There may not be a lot of it screentime-wise, but what is there can be considered excessive. It certainly was in 1968. I think even if it's brief, showing ghouls eating burnt body parts and fighting over stretched out organs could be called excessive. It shocked moviegoers then, maybe it's not seen that way now. But I'd err on the side of safety if that's a trigger for you (and if it is, why are you even considering this title anyway? ;) ).

The original Night of the Living Dead (1968) has no amputation scenes. The closest is a ghoul's hand thrust through a window and getting its fingers chopped away by one of the survivors using a knife to fend it off.

The ending might seem at first like copaganda (to some people -- I can't go into details without spoiling it) but I think the filmmakers were very frank in their feelings about police/authority/posse justice, no matter how you view the ending. There's a lot going on there. Still very relevant in 2022, if not even more so than in 1968. It's one of the reasons this film is continuing to grow in stature as a true classic.

Near the end of the movie someone I stabbed and the audio becomes very high pitched and sounds like feedback.

Barbara has what may be anxiety attacks throughout the movie, alternating between unresponsive silence and hysteria.

One could say that every character in the film is suffering some amount of PTSD -- they've each just gone through unspeakably horrifying events to get where they are in the film. Barbara especially shows symptoms of it but they all exhibit fear, paranoia, irritation, anger, grief, etc.. There is no overt reference to PTSD or anything like that but still... these people are all very stressed out by some pretty horrendous trauma, individually and collectively.

Up to interpretation. The main characters are trapped inside a farm house, then a basement for most of the movie.

SPOILERS. The black guy dies last, but his death is related to his race. It’s meant to be upsetting— the film isn’t condoning the racism, but it does portray it

One of the bleakest, most frustrating endings ever. Shocks most viewers when they first see it and caused some controversy when it was first out.

The movie is in black and white but there is blood and gore throughout.

There is a lot of it. Ghouls are killed by a shot to the head, and there are a number of those shots graphically shown, as well as body shots, and a lead character is shot in a fight between survivors.
