Summary: Good remasterd edition
Review: This DVD is good. I enjoyed the color, its very clear on this DVD! I also liked seeing the trailer because I don't remember when it came out. The overall best feature on this is the commentary with Tom Savini. I don't know why there's a trailer for "The Tingler" though... The making-of feature is a really good thing too! I also enjoyed the talent files that help you find other films if you like this one. Word of advice, unless you've already seen this... I suggest not watching the commentary part first, he kind of gives away upcomong scenes, I would suggest watching the orginal first... IT could help, and you won't have to worry because they're different

Summary: Blows the original out of the water!
Review: i honestly do not understand why many people find the original NOTLD to be better than this version. It has better characterization, better zombies, better story. Granted, it's not as creepy, but it's much more interesting. The acting is a little transparent once or twice, but Tony Todd's performance more than makes up for that. Furthermore, this version is more philosophically intriguing than the original, which is always a plus. Overall, i would venture to call this easily one of the best horror films ever.

Summary: Night of the Living Dead 90 is awesome!
Review: This DVD is so tight, it has the man, Tom Savini's commentary, it's widescreen which is cool for a horror film, and on top of that, it's BETTER than the original. I've seen a lot of horror flicks, almost them all, and Night of the Living Dead 1990 on DVD is one of the BEST!

Summary: Night of the living dead, revisited version
Review: This remake of the orginal night of the living dead was one of the best and a classic for George Romero. This one is first in Color and next it makes Barbra strong in character and even tho the black guy gets killed again in the end he is still sum what a hero. This is a very must see movie and it wont bore you like other, walking dead movies. I feel this one is a classic and wish for more from George Romero, cause he is very good at what he does.

Summary: Held together by good action, suspense, and Todd's acting
Review: I'll admit that I have never seen the original version, but this Night of the Living Dead remake is not bad, although it undeniably could have been better.Fans of the original know the plot. Johnny (Bill Mosely) and his sister Barbara (Patricia Tallman) are visiting their mother's grave in a cemetary isolated in a rural area. When they arrive, everything is normal. It's a sunny day and it's bright and warm until Johnny is attacked by a dead man. He's killed and Barbara takes refuge inside a house. A man named Ben (Tony Todd) arrives and along with five other people in the basement of the house, they must hold off the cannibalistic zombies that have somehow awaken and refill the gas to Ben's truck, the only means of transportation they have. The first fifteen minutes of Night of the Living Dead are truly frightening. The film wastes no time into getting into its action and immediately we are plunged into a peaceful world that's turning dark and claustrophobic quickly. There's the eeriness in the whole house when Barbara enters and the fact that there are zombies lurking inside is even scarier. This film has no lack of action as we continuously watch Ben, Barbara, and the other hold off the zombies with rifles and anything they can use to disable the zombies' brains, which is the only way to kill them. The film moves at a very fast pace, yet has time to develop the characters, thus making us care for Ben and Barbara, and making us hiss at the zombies and Cooper. The make-up and special effects are pretty good. They may not live up to the standards of the technology we have now, but the zombie design is easily the best since Day of the Dead. The real problem in this film lies in the acting. Most of the actors are stale with the major exception of Tony Todd. He delivers a good performance as the likeable hero Ben. He's a brave and strong guy who doesn't panic in a situation, but instead takes charge. Ben is definitely one of the best heroes in horror film history, thanks to Tony Todd's performance. This is a man who deserves better work rather than horror sequels like Candyman 3. Patricia Tallman is okay in her role as Barbara. The main problem in her performance stems from the fact that her character change from coward to amateur zombie slayer is a bit difficult to swallow. The rest of the performances, coming from Tom Towles and company, don't fare as well. At times, they try so hard to look scared they come off almost laughable. If better performances (or actors for that matter) had been placed beside Todd and Tallman, this film would have been considerably better. While the last 30 or so minutes of the movie has a large amount of frantic tension and action the ending is a disappointment and lacks some logic behind it. Even if the acting didn't live up to the suspense, at least the ending could have been made with more intelligence and logic. It's not a dumb ending if that's the feeling I'm conveying, it's just the fact that it could have been improved or even changed significantly. If you don't want to know how it ends, then by all means, do not look at the box cover of the VHS version of this movie. Either just rent it quickly or watch the DVD rendition. Night of the Living Dead is full of action, suspense and good scares, and if the acting and the ending could have lived up to all those good qualities, this would have been considered an excellent remake, if not a horror classic itself. As it is, this film is pretty good and decent and it probably won't disappoint most horror fans.

Summary: A good edition of a good remake
Review: In this edition of Night 90, you get a great behind the scenes feature which includes a few deleted scenes. These scenes all are deleted head shots that the MPAA forced Tom Savini to remove from the film for being to graphic. They said that if Savini had not removed those head shots, the film would have gotten an X rating instead of an R rating.

Summary: " There coming to get you Barbara!"
Review: A worthy remake which was enjoyable. Directed by make up man Tom Savini this is the original tale of zombies. Stars Tony Todd (Candyman, The Crow) and a cast of unknowns. The ending is fairly good if somewhat tragic.
Rating:
Summary: Not particularly scary, but still a great movie
Review: Having not seen the original, I cannot make any comparisons between the two. However, this movie did have some rather redeeming qualities. First, there's Tony Todd's character, Ben, a well-played hero. The role of Patricia Tallman may also be often overlooked; however, the sheer amount of change her character undergoes makes for an interesting movie. Overall, this movie is well worth watching.

Summary: Finally a remake that is excepted!
Review: I love remakes and finally one has been liked! I did like the original and this one definitely surpases the first in every way. The characters were far more devoleped and likeable. And really creepy music!
