Summary: Not the experience of the film, but what could be?
Review: John Russo's novel version of the genre classic is a decent enough horror thriller, but considering the greatness of the movie this cannot be considered high praise. Great stills in the silver jacketed Pocket Books edition though.

Summary: Night of the Livind Dead shot in the head...
Review: One day when I was about 13, I bought a old VHS of Night of the Living Dead at Wal-Mart for $5. I had no idea what I was buying and no idea what kind of horror I was about to witness. I made the mistake of watching the movie by myself in a dark room that night. Halfway through the movie I had the light on and was peering out the window and looking at the door to the TV room. This movie scared the heck out of me. Anything to do with Zombies would forever scare me especially when I watched the other movies by Romero and played the Resident Evil Games on Playstation. That was then and now I am 27. I still have the VHS copy of Night of the Living Dead. I will never get rid of it because that movie still scares me to this day. Then I am looking thru the DVD movies and I come across this movie. Night of the Living Dead - 30th Anniversary Edition. My first thoughts were, Awsome! I then sat and watched all the aspects of this DVD. I cannot believe they tried to milk this movie again and all they accomplished was defiling this great horror classic. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the new score music was pretty cool, but did not belong in this movie. What they should have really done was code this movie to DVD without altering it at all. The new re-edited, re-scored, extras scene added version of this horror classic is a horror to watch. The new added scenes actually had me laughing at the bad acting. I know many of you are saying, bah! What do you know! Let me explain.1. The added scenes where completly horrible and full of bad acting. Yes the scenes were added seamlessly because they remastered the movie. The preacher was a horrible Billy Zane wannabe and the zombies in the new footage could not even walk like a zombie. Another scene had a car crash where the driver hit the winshield and lost his brain, and the wife in the passenger seat and two daughters in the back of the car have no injuries and seemed to have remained in their seats and not sprawled all over the car after a head on collision with a tree. They were not even wearing seatbelts! Many of the Zombies just walked normally, how horrible! And they spent money to add this footage? Total rip-off! 2. The added score is completely awful. This is a old movie and needed the old sounding music from the orginal. They try to add the new score everywhere in this movie! Someplaces in the movie need to have no music! This sets the mood and has the audience on edge. The orginal score, what they called "library music", was better than the junk they added. 3. The totally ripped and hacked the movie cuting out dead scenes that took up space. This space is needed to again keep the audience on edge and have them thinking what will happen next. So what do you get? I hacked and cut movie where some parts are cut to add the 15 minutes of new footage. A total waste. 4. All the extras are just a waste of time to watch. If you have to have this DVD to add to your collection, don't say I warned you. It is horrible, horrible, horrible. You are better off finding the movie un-edited. Yes the re-mastering cleared it up, but the blurryness of the orginal added to the horror of the movie. On a final note, if it aint broke, DON'T FIX IT!

Summary: Never send children to improve a masterpiece
Review: How do you improve perfection? Answer is, you don't. This film is the most impure accident since Star Wars Ep. 1. I am a tremendous fan of the NOTLD series, and this 30th anniversary edition is nothing more then an un-efforted attempt on making money at the expense of a once-great film. I love the inside cover with the film makers praising their job well done. "Oh we think the fans we be very pleased....everything is seemless.....we've improved upon the movie...." Crikey...

Summary: The Definitive Version
Review: The current "definitive" version of the 1968 classic from director George Romero. With the help of a digital transfer, the movie has never looked better and it gives you a much deeper appreciation for the beautiful cinematography previously hidden underneath layers of grain. Stick with this version and steer clear of the "30th Anniversary" edition floating around out there. The "added footage" on that one makes you cringe and wonder what the hell the producers were thinking, and whether or not it was done with or without Romero's consent. Now let's all cross our fingers for a re-release of the now out-of-print dvd's "Dawn Of The Dead" and "Day Of The Dead".

Summary: True movie entertainment
Review: No other movie is as satisfying to watch as this one. Dark, gorey, funny, nihilistic. A genuine sense of claustrophobia develops as you watch it (other movies have tried to capture this feeling and failed). Another very nice touch is the heavy use of those absurdly-worded radio and TV news reports to describe the situation in the world outside the house. This is quite possibly the most purely entertaining movie ever made.

Summary: Classic Horror Film.
Review: Director George A. Romero did a fantasic job, directing this movie, he also co-wrote the film John A. Russo. A lot of people didn`t like the new version with fifteen minutes of new footage. I like the new version, it`s not great but it`s fine. Also this was the first film make the zombies flesh-eater. I give the new version four stars, because the new scenes, wish could have been better but the original film is far better. Strong Performances from the cast. This film is a great horror classic. Grade:A.

Summary: This one stands out - a TSM
Review: This is one of those movies that just changed things. Its incredibly low budget and there isn't a whole lot of plot depth, but its it's onw of those movies you finish watching and you just sit there, you don't get up and walk away, you just sit there. If you really picture yourself in their place, you'd be paralyzed with fear. I didn't see the version with extra scenes, so i don't know how they are. Pretty gruesome at parts, zombies eating flesh, so be warned. This is one of my TSM.

Summary: This movie SUCKS
Review: Gasses floating over graveyards make the dead bodies come back to life who then hunt the people down and try to eat their brains. Dis-orienting, unscary, mess of sloppy and unimpressive effects with no entertainment value at all. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT looks like a good time compared to this movie. BOO!

Summary: Back from the dead?
Review: I was also unhappy with the quality of the sound in this dvd. The new soundtrack seemed to mute all the background sound, the nornal sounds of movement etc., and even have the voices unsychronized with the mouths of the actors. The added scenes were newly filmed and add in, not former cutting room floor refugees. Save some money and buy a regular version of the movie.
