Movie Reviews of Night of the Living Dead
Movie Review: People just don't get it.
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing i come to understand with george romero's movies is that they all have moral meaning.he uses images from the evil of mankind to put his movies together. tom savini served in the vietnam war and a lot of his work is influenced from what he experianced there.to the tortures and cruel inhumane acts thats took place there.people adore his movies because of the gore and i constantly here people say how cool he is and always compare him to luci fulci.the evils of mankind is not cool george romero expresses his feeling through horror on the cruel ways of mankind. at least that is what i felt when i watched this movie when she watches the living hang the dead upside down and they start laughing a shot them. reminds me of the germans of world war 2. she then says we are them and they are us. the images that really stuck to me was the end with the pictures and creepy music. This film creeps me out and really makes u think how scary it would be if something like this really happend.Movie Review: Extremely Entertaining Horror Yarn
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good digital transfer of an excellent horror remake. Director Tom Savini does an excellent job making zombies scary once more, breathing new life into a somewhat clichéd genre. Plenty of thrills and scares. Patricia Tallman (Barbara) and Tony Todd (Ben) are both superb in their roles as unlikely heroes. Plot twists and turns keep you second guessing. This is NOT one of those awful cornball cheesey black comedies. Night Of The Living Dead '90 is a must see if you are a fan of the genre but if monsters and ghouls really aren't your thing then even this probably won't do much for you.Digitally remastered, good quality picture and sound. Widescreen AND Full Screen included (on either side of the disc), movie trailer, plus director commentary and a making-of featurette. Pretty much all you could hope for as regards to special features.
How dare they remake a classic? Tom Savini dared, and he might even have improved on it!
Movie Review: what a really good re-make...
Summary: 5 Stars
this was actually a really good re-make of the original. i'm pretty sure you will recognize the black guy from the original movie. they stay pretty much to the same script as the original but you'll want to see it anyway just to see what else happens.
if you are a "BABYLON 5" fan like i am you might recognize on of the cast members in the movie. i haven't seen it in quite sometime and i just recently ordered it from amazon. i'm looking forward to seeing it again.
"They are coming to get you, BARBARA!!"... the movie that started all the zombie movies ever to come. if you want to see also another good one, the idea for this movie came from another movie with Vincent Price called "THE LAST MAN ON EARTH".
it also deserves a viewing if you are a ZOMBIE fan like me! for anyone who hasn't seen even the original movie of "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD" where have you been?? rotting in a coffin or something??
enjoy!

Movie Review: Tom Savini astounds with Romero's updated script.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so skeptical about this that it was out for years before I ever saw it. Why bother remaking a classic? Well, because frankly it fixes the things that bugged me in the original. Barbra has been transformed from a comatose gimp to a heroine who rises from her initial shock to find more strength than she ever knew she had. The acting is great! I watched the original again last night, and I must say that the acting alone is worth remaking it. The conflict between Ben and Cooper makes a bit more sense this time around. Ben's fate, which was needed in the original, gets a satisfying twist, but Cooper's fate is even better. WOW! Classic lines like "Here's another one for the fire" get a stunning spin. The lighting is too bright and I must admit some of the creepiness of the original depended on shadows in black and white, but that doesn't keep me from loving this fantastic remake. (I swear, they must have found the same farmhouse.)Movie Review: Don't go into the cellar!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the few remakes that I absolutely love; I have no complaints only praise. Nothing against the original black and white movie (which had more atmosphere. It was also more claustrophobic, one of the few times I can't complain about a 1.33 aspect ratio because in that case it helped the feeling of being trapped, boxed in). I just happen to love the remake more. (It also happens to be my favorite Tony Todd performance.) And there is that "happy" ending.
Doesn't let up for a minute, keeps you revved up throughout. Of course this was back when zombies were still real and not the supercharged versions of today (think about it, their brains were low functioning at that point so they would move slower; motor skills being somewhat hampered by being, well, DEAD). I like my zombies slow and relentless.
Definitely a keeper that I've watched many times.
Did I mention that I LOVE this movie?
