Dreadfully Boring

An absolute waste of money

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

this totally unnecessary remake of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) doesn't measure up to or significantly diverge from the original, but i like it. one key difference, the one that makes it worth watching, is the strong female protagonist – Barbara, who was largely useless and in the way in Romero's version, becomes the most levelheaded character in this one. she doesn't talk much after her traumatic experience in the cemetery in the opening scene, so i headcanon her as an autistic heroine with selective mutism Harry Cooper, the drunken wife beater who hides his family in the cellar, becomes the more irritating character, largely due to poor acting on Tom Towles's part: the escalating tension between Cooper and Ben that was a driving facet of the plot in the original film just isn't very effective here there are some memorable scenes and zombie designs; the altered ending is far less impactful than in the original, but satisfying nonetheless. if you're a fan of zombie films, check it out, but don't expect a cinematic masterpiece

This film really isn't a good idea. The original film is a classic, and there's very little you can do to improve it, outside of making Barbara a stronger personality, which they did. Colour and more modern effects really end up doing little benefit. Given that this film is a terrible idea, it's refreshingly okay. It adds precious little to the original film, but it also manages to do it a bit of justice without sullying its memory. Oddly enough, it's populated with better actors, but has worse acting. The fighting between Ben and Cooper is pitched to ridiculous extremes, and given some plot changes, is even more pointless than in the original film. Worth a look.

Romero heads his series into the nineties with an updated remake to his cult classic night of the living dead.The story is pretty much the same with a few new twists thrown in like Barbara (Patricia Tallman) is now a xena warrior princess instead of the meek helpless character from the previous film who breaks up arguments, shoving zombies out of her way and bringing in the Calvary. Tony Todd does an excellent job as Ben and makes him his own.Now set in color losing the old fashion Hollywood style feel and reveals the rubbery texture used for the makeup. Johnny hitting his head on the headstone and Barbara breaking the iron over the farmer zombie's head are obviously dummies. The camera angles hung to far on the moon and cuts back to the same image throughout as if to allow the audience a bathroom break.Another flaw was the revelation they could walk past the zombies the whole time neutralizing the threat and made the whole 80 minutes a waste of time. It makes the characters look stupid and feel inferior to the originals who came before them.I don't know what happens to George Romero and Tom Savini but both lacked the creativity and skull that made them a brand.While some will appreciate the new changes, it was an epic fail for me and undone the greatness that is the original night of the living dead.

This is one of the the scariest movies of all time. The original Night of the living dead from 1968 is very scary. This is scarier. 6.9 is underrating it. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. This about people trapped in an old from house in a zombie outbreak. This is one of the scariest movies you will ever see. Tony Todd is a great actor. Patrircia Tallman is a great actress. The acting in this movie is better then the acting in the original. Tom Savini is a great film maker. This movie is a must see. I need more lines. And I am running out of things to say. Great movie. See it.
