everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The first must-see film of the year.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Corpses reanimate after Pyrophobic mortician accidentally exposes hundreds of uncremated bodies to toxic medical waste.To director Jeff Broadstreet's credit he does manage to bag some great actors including Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs in his prequel to his 2006 film. Here Divoff replaces Sid Haig, the 3D is as gimmicky Broadstreet's first offering. It shockingly tries to cash-in on the Re-Animator series as well as the Night of the Living Dead. The acting is slightly better thanks to Divoff and Combs. If you liked Night of the Living Dead 3D (2006) expect more of the same as Re-Animation is just as bad (or good depending on your opinion), for everyone else you may want to watch Re-Animator (1985) and Night of the Living Dead (1968) again.

I had heard much good about this movie; little was I aware that it was for the original. The new iteration of it is so poorly done; the acting is horrible, the story is drawn out way beyond reason, the special effects could have been done by elementary school children and overall it's 84 minutes of my life I could have spent better and far more enjoyable on painfully plucking my facial hair, DIY dental work or basically just about anything else. Matter of fact, I created an account on IMDb for one purpose - to write this review. You may ask why I gave the movie 2 stars? Well, the story in and of itself is good. It's just playing it out that just does not work. Steer clear!

Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation (2012) * 1/2 (out of 4)This sequel to 2006's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D isn't connected to 2009's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: ANIMATED for those following all the title variations to the George A. Romero film. Mortician Gerald Tovar (Andrew Divoff) inherits the family funeral parlor and soon ends up having to take care of the "zombie" problem. When his brother Harold (Jeffrey Combs) shows up this here just causes more trouble. This here certainly isn't a "good" movie but it's a masterpiece compared to the original movie, which was one of the most pathetic zombie movies I've ever seen. This one here actually could have been a whole lot better had the story been better. What we've basically got is a very bad story stretched to nearly 90-minutes and to make up for the weak story we just get extended dialogue scenes that just drag the film down. Again, I'm a little confused why you'd make a direct-to-DVD zombie film, add mostly dialogue and not give people more zombie action. Outside a quick scene towards the start, the majority of the violence doesn't happen until the last portion of the film and by then most viewers are going to be asleep from the dialogue. Once we do get to the action the special effects aren't all that convincing but they're at least gory to keep fans happy. Those expecting greatness from the duo of Divoff and Combs might be somewhat disappointed as neither character is classic but I think they're entertaining enough. I also thought the supporting players were decent enough for this type of film. In the end, this certainly isn't a film that's going to appeal to the masses so most would be advised to stay away. The only ones who should even attempt this film are those who must see everything the genre has to offer. I will say the only really clever thing is some of the comedy that brings up other zombie movies including a nice bit about Romero's series, THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and a pretty funny joke about the 1990 remake.

Saw this movie at a special screening in January on the big screen at a movie cinema in downtown L.A. and the 3D is amazing. I'm a big fan of Combs and Divoff (more Wishmasters, please!) and if you are too, you'll love this movie. They are GREAT and the rest of the cast is excellent as well. This has got to be some of the most excellent work that Herbert West and The Djinn have done in years. The special efx work is good too. Sure, it's low budget and the build-up is a little slow, but this is one of the best B movies I've seen in long time. This is not a Romero rip-off and stands on it's own. I'm a sucker for 3D moves (I see them all) and you will not be disappointed.
