Summary: just as good as the original if not better
Review: this movie would have blown the original away (yeah i said it) if it was longer and more detailed on the things that ben saw before coming to the house and meeting barbera.savini also wanted to do more if he had a better budget.but this is how remakes should be done.even jaded remake "haters" had a hard time justifiying their hatred of this film.there is no justification the movie was just good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "They're coming to get you Barbara..."
Review: Gorehound Tom Savini remade George Romero's classic 1968 movie with some good results. Patricia Tallman plays Barbara, and this time she's not a scared fruitcake like in the original, she's a female Rambo reminiscent of Ripley of the Alien movies and Sarah Connor of the Terminator series. Tony Todd (the Candyman himself), plays Ben, and plays him very well. Now for the real stars; the zombies! The makeup is pretty well done, but surprising to me, its not gory at all, but it is effective in keeping a creepy atmosphere. All in all, this is a good remake that is on par with the original, and I suggest seeing both versions so you can decide which one you like better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not bad for a remake
Review: I have never been much of a fan of remakes or sequels but I didn't think this one was so bad. It stars Tony Todd(Candyman) and has the same plot as the original. Maybe I'm partial to this one because it's done in color and I belive the special effects are better. The movie overall is creepy and wastes no time in getting to the good stuff. Of course in most horror movies there isn't much of a storyline but if you wanted a storyline you wouldn't be watching a horror flick. If you saw the original Night of the Living Dead I believe you should see this version as well and compare for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Summary: Tom Savini Night of the Living
Review: A very good movie,not as scary as the 1968 version,it was missing the creepy music and the zombies were moving too slow,i mean barber turns brave like a mug,look they move so slow we can walk right past them? you know if they can catch you,you will be eaten alive,but in this movie do not fear these zombies they were moving so slow,you could tippie toe past these zombies,for some odd reason the very first zombie in the movie look so powerful.but when you saw it try to walk? It was a different story,but this movie was fun to watch with the Great make-up and action.Wanna know how slow the zombies are? remeber the first zombie in the 1968 version? it follow barber to the house? it only took the zombie like 2 mins to get there?The first zombie in the 1990 version you didn't see the first zombie until close to the end of the movie,it was just getting to the house.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not a very good remake.
Review: Normally I don't fully enjoy remakes whatsoever mainly because they don't do the original justice. The plot for this was alright, but I thought that if it was shown through the vision of how the world experiences this event rather than a house full of people, it would have been better. I also would rather that they would've made a remake of a good movie. The original I thought, was cheap garbage from a director who thinks he can make anything enjoyable. If you feel like wasting your time, see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A+ for Mr: Savini
Review: Tom savini has truley created a perfect re-make of this cultclassic zombiestory.
It turned out to be better then I thought it would be.
It is pretty much the way I wanted the Romero version to be with this re-make.
A modern version with modern effects in a classic story.
See it, or what the h**l, buy it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Remake!
Review: "Their coming to get you Barbara", but this time Barbara is ready for them. A remake of the original classic "Night of the Living Dead". A modern retelling based on a updated scripted by George Romero and directed by Tom Savini.

This is pretty much the same story as NOTLD '68, but with better effects and a few new twists. The recent dead have returned to life and now seek the flesh of the living. Seven strangers are trapped in an isolated farmhouse struggling with the horror that awaits them on the outside and the tension that will eventually destroy them on the inside. Romero re-introduces all our favorite character: Ben (Tony Todd), Cooper (Tom Towles), etc. There are even striking reminiscences between the cast in 68 and 90, and that wasn't a coincidence. Barbara (Patricia Tallmen) has been miraculously been transformed from a comatose broad into a female Rambo. She seemingly being the only one with any grasp of the situation and this time she's not waiting for Johnny.

Not overly gory, but the zombie make-up was fantastic. The twists breath new life into this classic movie. Tom Savini did an exceptional job in his big screen directorial debut and maybe someday we'll be lucky enough to see his director's cut of this modern classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Horror Movie!!
Review: This movie is awsome, it's much better than the original. When I first saw the beggining and I saw Tom Savini's name I was like ah man this ain't gonna be as good as it could have(mainly because he was more of a make-up artist), but boy was I wrong, I guess he learned alot working with Romero! This was great, same story a bunch of people gather in an old farm house to avoid the flesheating zombies. They try to think of an escape plan but it is almost impossible, the zombies look pretty cool. But the ending will make you feel bad, I didn't want it to end in the way it did but what are you gonna do eh? Still on of the best ending for a horror movie. The character in this are well developed and likeable. But boy the ending is really something to watch for... This remains one of the best made horror movies of all-time! You have to watch it to see how good it is!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't judge this against the original
Review: A lot of film snobs like to sell short remakes instead of
enjoying a remake as a movie by itself. I have seen the
remake and the original. I enjoyed them both. I own them
both. I did not ruin the remake for myself by judging it
against the original as so many other people did. I enjoyed
it as a movie that was an awful lot like one I had seen a
long time before. The heroine in this movie was a lot better
than the one in the original!
