- In 1968, director George A. Romero shocked the world with his feature debut Night of the Living Dead. The horror film introduced the concept of flesh-eating ghouls; the walking dead, driven by an urge to consume the living. Decades later, the original team decided to get the band back together and produce a remake of the film. With famous Gore Effects Guru, Tom Savini at the helm, they set out to make Night of the Living Dead 1990.

God I love this movie. One of the best remakes ever. Barbara is a million times better in this, and also Tony Todd. Gotta love that dude.
What's wrong with Barbara in the original everybody gives her shit for not doing anything and being a typical female I don't believe this criticism is deserved well the men who are in charge are fighting and murdering each other Harry Cooper's wife gets grabbed by zombies through the window without thinking Barbara gets up and proceeds to help her fight off the zombies then she gets pulled out of the house by her brother gets her guts ripped out eyeballs eaten and everybody talks shit about her lol
@@lectornox missing the /s?
Every single thing about this movie is better than the original. The score. The acting. The sets. Literally everything is better.
@@bubbytumby8509 I 100% agree, I've never cared much for the original.
I saw this in 91 as a kid it started my obsession with horror movies, so this is my favorite horror movie
The original Barbara always stood out as one of the few, realistic reactions to the events of any given horror movie
I agree, she's irritating, but realistic.
Indeed.
Sure, but if realism leads to an annoying and all but useless character, it should be discarded for the good of the movie and audience. They could have done something interesting with her semi-catatonic condition but she mostly just got used as a background prop. She wasn't even likeable to begin with so I never cared about her trauma, I just felt bad for Johnny.
The original Barbara was scared catatonic Remake Barbara got up and Kicked some Ass she reminded me of My Grandma and I loved that
The original Barbara was.. like ,mildly retarded or something. I wish the brother would've lived, he was a riot!!
I've been a huge fan of this film for decades. For me it on par with the original. Easily one of the best remakes of all time.
I saw the original when I was 17, and boy the original shook me more than the 90’s remake. But this was great, too.
I personally feel that this movie is better than the original and surpasses it.
I saw the remake before the original. Yes, the original is better, but this one is still damned good. I own both movies.
I never cared for the original as I felt the sequel dawn of the dead was better than the first
on par?? this one is significantly better. all the characters are more likeable and it’s not as hokey.
I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it and spent years watching other Zombie movies trying to find this one again.
I found it at a dollar general $7 DVD movie isn't perfect but great this was the 3rd zombie flick I watched first was the original and Dawn of the Dead was second one
Took me awhile to find this one on DVD, kept accidentally buying the original instead lol
This movie marked my childhood. I was amazed and truly horrified
Was it on TNT Monster Vision?
same, I didn't know what it was exactly and when someone said, "it sounds like NOTLD"- I saw the original and felt like I must have gone crazy, imagining this movie
I think the addition of the dark irony of finding the ⛽️ 🔑 is perfect!! I kinda wish it was in the original
This remake and Return of the Living Dead are my two all-time favorite zombie movies. The tension and acting makes both movies extra believable.
What about Dawn of the Dead 1978?
@@Johnlindsey289 I can't make a judgement on that movie since I've never watched it. But i do also really like Day of the Dead.
The absolute anguish on Tolman's face as Barbara realizes that she was right, that they could have just walked away and nobody who had died had needed to, was haunting, as was her broken expression at the end of the film, presumably captured in some journalist's camera. A great movie and a personal favorite.
About 1 in every 10,000 remakes wind up being worthwhile endeavors for lovers of the original film(s).
This is one of them.
The Blob(1988) is another one too
@@jesseswarbrick7895 Absolutely, as well as The Fly (1986)
@@steveericson9137 This is how Brundlefly eats.......blaarrgh.
the Thing
@@bubbytumby8509 Fact check true.
I actually saw the 1990 remake years before I finally saw the original. I first saw the remake, one Friday night, on TNT's Monstervision, sometime in the mid '90s, & I remember being scared shitless by the opening scenes. So, this one was always, always awesome to me! When I eventually got around to seeing the original, I loved it too. Especially, after I learned of the social commentary in it. I now proudly own both versions on home video. It's also cool to finally find out just how the original ended up in the public domain.
I saw the premier on AMC or TMC where they had the original actors and their contemporaries on to discuss the original. I loved it.
I saw it as well on TNT during October in the 90s….probably in 94. It was (is) such a good film, kinda wish Savini would’ve put his finishing touches on it.
This is the best traditional zombie movie ever made. The sense of fear and despair never goes away, and it's hit home by all the mistakes and oversights the survivors make that lead to their downfall. No machine guns, no crazy action, just human stress and panic. It's also the only zombie movie where I genuinely like the zombies themselves - walking corpses with white eyes, conservative gore. They don't have evil demonic faces. It's about the closest "realistic" interpretation of what you'd imagine the reanimated dead to act like. I watch this movie about once a year and it always leaves an impact on me.
100%. I love everything about this film. The zombies are fantastic. They each have their own identity and personality to an extent, on top of being creepy as f*ck. I can't get into most modern zombie films. The zombies look fake or so CGI'd it's unbearable. They ad way too much action in zombie movies/tv also. Just get back to the straight horror element. The realism of NOTLD 1990 will never be matched.
100% best zombie movie of all time! I saw it when I was 7 and it gave me nightmares for years lol.
I really like this remake. This version of Barbara and Ben were better as well as Harry Cooper. The zombies looked great, but could've used a bit more gore.
They made it gory but it was cut out because of the ratings board
Damn censors!
I really enjoyed this movie as well. Saw it before the original back as a kid. Would love to see what Savini would have done without all the interference and restrictions.
@@haletosis1380 The participation of Savini,in any capacity!? Thinking A 3 part N.O.T.L.D. for a streaming service far from the MPAA. A glorious dream which our "boring" 20's desperately needs!
Ironically, all the gore that was removed to avoid the NC-17 was all related to the zombie killings (fireplace poker to the head, and a few head shots). That's pretty much it. Anything you see in regards to one of the human survivor characters being bitten or devoured made it in.
People seem to forget this remake. It's up there with The Fly or The Thing. I watch it at least once a year. Don't forget about the Blob as well
I think issue with this remake is its very competently made but its also very safe doesn't really add or make any notable changes to the original concept. Unlike the fly or the thing they take core concept of the original movies but change them in such inventive ways that they exceed the originals.
@@edbeasant9494 The Fly, The Thing and The Blob remakes are way better than the originals. The changes to this one made me angry. I hate when horror pisses me off. The characters are too stupid and they ruined the ending.
@@psychonaut1829 I agree with you there.
The remake of The Blob is a fantastic movie. Just trust me on this and watch it immediately. Grandma's insulin can wait.
@@danhamelgigx.398 yep the crazies ain't a bad remake either
This is my FAVORITE zombie movie! All this behind the scenes info makes me appreciate it even more! Kuddos to Tom Savini and I'm sadden this wasn't appreciated as it should've been :-(
Hellz yeah. It's great.
Its worst ever kid lol
@@Ehrle6969 beta cuck energy
@@Ehrle6969 this punk probably never seen day of the dead
I have to admit, it's a little disappointing to hear this remake didn't get the recognition it clearly deserves. This movie was the quintessential late night TV programing that most of us watched back in the early 90's. This was my first introduction to George A Romero Zombies. First time I found out there was such a thing. It frightened and intrigued me at the same time. This was my Night of the Living Dead and this was my favorite.
I remember seeing this late at night on TV. I was quite a zombie fan as a kid but I had no idea there was a remake and loved it! It was such a pleasant surprise.
This was the first version of NotLD I ever saw and I think it's fantastic! It's also the movie that got me into the zombie genre and I have consumed massive amounts of zombie media since, including all of George Romero's other films. I went back and watched the original and I thought the remake was just as good at the very least. Thank you George for all the hours of entertainment and may you rest in peace.
I ABSOLUTELY love this movie! The older I get, I realize that 'BOX OFFICE' returns/numbers don't always mean that you didn't make a gem! The first was Classic.........and to me, the remake is LEGENDARY! It was my first introduction to the series being an 82' kid! Anyways, much love and great review!
I do love how Barbara manages to survive at the end of the 1990 remake.
I really wanted to see someone make it to dawn.
One of my favorite horror remakes . In the original ,they’re coming to get Barbara BUT in the remake Barbara’s coming for them 👍🏻
This was one of the first zombie movies, to my knowledge, where they got the eyes of the dead right (no pigment). I really appreciated that effect; it made them so much more horrifying to me.
THANK YOU!!! 💯 , They used pictures of actual corpses for visual references, which made them far more terrifying!
@@blackdragon6 This is not to say that the "living" eyes (which were mainly a fault of budgetary constraints) can't still be horrifying in their own right. I'll never forget the moment Roger reanimates in "Dawn Of The Dead" and after a little bit of ocular exploration of his surroundings, the eyes finally lock onto Peter sitting across the room (which is basically an audience POV shot). That look haunts me.
A comment like this is hard to find. Noting removes the believability of a supposedly "dead" character as much as when the eyes have not changed or hazed over as they naturally would. I believe many directors do not realize this. If the eyes are the windows to the soul as they say, then alive eyes means alive actor = not believable.
Much like Evil Dead, I'm really glad both versions of the film exist. Both entries in both series are outstanding genre classics with different things to offer
This is the first horror movie I ever saw. It came on HBO one night when I was 4 years old and my dad let me stay up late to watch it with him. The best most traumatizing night of my life.
We had a blast interviewing Patricia Tallman on our podcast earlier this year! Listen to it on Apple, Spotify, and all pod-apps!
This remake was my intro to the living dead universe and its still in my top 10 favorite movies of all time
Kek
I love this movie. Tony Todd's best performance imo. Amazing.
I loved this movie. Saw it on HBO when I was 11 on a dark night while dad was out of town and mom was ill and asleep. I was so freaked out.
Night of the living Dead is the granddaddy of all zombie movies, but this is one of those rare remakes that actually improves on the original without changing much of the first film's story. Thanks to the direction and respect for the original, it actually improves on some of the original, such as the character Barbara.
Dawn of the dead 1978 is the true king of zombie movies
@@Johnlindsey289 obviously. It's arguably the best zombie movie ever made and is the one that countless imitators drew their inspiration from.
I love this remake it has a continued great version of Ben and makes Barbara a badass up there with Ripley and Sara Connor. This is my favorite with Day of the Dead. 👍👍
Tom Savini did an awesome job with this movie. Tony Todd as Ben was perfect, Barbara was great, plus Bill Mosley's death in the beginning was hilarious 🤣. this version of Night of the living dead is the spiritual prequel to Return of the living dead.
Wasn't he in a number of Robert Rodriguez movies like Dusk Till Dawn, Planet Terror and Machete?
@@w.c.d4892 yup, he's in those
One of my all time favorites and still very rewatchable. I love that feeling of increasing panic and the rising number of zombies flocking towards the house as night falls.
I consider this to be one of the best remakes in movies I remember renting it regularly until I found a VHS copy for sale 1990 zombie movie isn't the best Tom Savini but it is still awesome
I absolutely love this remake it's worth watching if you never seen it and I think it's actually better than the original
I agree
agreed
I saw the TV edit and even that was better than the OG, no offense to Romaro. It's a solid movie with some brilliant direction.
I think it might be the best horror remake of all time.
@@mightisright While George Romero didn't direct 1990's Night of the Living Dead remake himself, he served as an executive producer on the film, and wrote the script. Since Tom Savini worked on the original with him for makeup... I'm pretty sure he chose him to direct this remake? Pretty cool. He was on set often working along side if I recall correctly.
You're damn right - I remember purchasing this and Fright Night the same day on DVD many moons ago and doing a double feature. I love this film. GREAT score too - the end credit music SLAPS.
I’ve always had a soft spot for this film. My mother was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and would say how she was “dragged to see” the original in ‘68. I was introduced to the series through this remake.
Great video. Keep up the great work!
I'm one of the few that enjoyed the remake more than the original, i remember watching it on Cinemax for the 1st time and how much i love the movie, it was even that time(1998) where the zombie craze was showing more with Resident Evil and no joke, i feel NOTLD remake felt like that's how a Resident Evil movie should be.
I remember going to Best Buy and saw the VHS of South Park with the Pink Eye episode(Kenny turning into a zombie) and Night of the Living Dead but i didn't know it was the original version and thought it was the 90s version since back then i didn't know what a remake was until later on lol.
Overall the remake is one of my favs and i consider it being on the levels of The Thing, The Fly and The Blob remakes
1998 definitely was where the zombie craze started picking up steam. Resident evil was huge at the time.
I remember recording this on the vcr when it premiered on Showtime. We watched it so many times, like everyday, and it was truly a sad day when the vcr ate the tape. Good times!!
I like the 90's remake to night of the living dead and I thought it was pretty good. It's definitely one of the best remakes I've seen.
I remember watching it on Brazilian TV back in the 90's when I was about 7 years old and I fell in love with it. To this day this is still my favorite horror movie.
Cine Trash?
I so love both versions, each has their own highlights!
I remember some years ago in a Comicon convention in montreal, I met Savini and we started talking about his movie Night of the living dead remake and he told me that the shooting was a dark episode for him because he had personnel life trouble in that period. I was sad for him. According to him the biggiest mistake of is life was playing a role in the movie children of the dead hahaha. He also accidently gave away a plot from the movie machete 2 and ask me to forget about it, because the movie was not released yet, it was funny. Great time!
You were my favorite character on Friends
This is a great remake despite the interference of the producers. It's a shame that Savini didn't get to use all the storyboards sequences and ideas that he had planned to film. After a 5 year absence of zombie carnage I'm sure he had plenty of wonderfully crafted makeup effects and gore set pieces ready to display but the MPAA steps in to play God on someone else's hard work. Can't imagine how hard all these obstacles were for Savini. But even though all that stuff happened he still delivered something worthy of horror fans attention and you can tell while watching it that there was nothing but the best intentions from Savini to deliver not only something Romero would be proud of but a genuinely great zombie film. Thanks for this excellent episode, Joblo!
This is the one that introduced me to Romero's dead movies in 91 or 92 when it was released to cable. I was a preteen already we'll submerged into horror, but this was different. I never felt a lingering creepy feeling so long after any other horror movies, and actually had nightmares. This changed me as an horror fan, and I appreciate it 💯 even if Tom Saving wasn't happy with it.
We had a similar trajectory with the Dead films. I think the first time I saw this was when we'd just gotten TMC/The Movie Channel in the house and they played it twice the day I watched it (around 1991 or 92). It would be another few years until I finally caught the original on WHYY (Pennsylvania PBS affiliate) on Halloween night. Both have their strong points, I feel.
Despite a lot of critical backlash, I've felt that the 1990 version was a remake done the right way. I'd also like to add that I disagree with Tom Savini: Paul McCollough's score was good. I remember that percussive-driven ending theme/suite almost felt stomach-churning to me. There are certain vibes to it that just immediately invoke horror or dread. Many horror movies--especially the current crop--fail to attain that sort of thing anymore.
@@hamupinhere Yes, the score was very atmospheric, and really set the tone. It still gives me the creeps. I would catch myself looking at my parents doors, and windows, and try to figure out how fast we could all board up our house while being under siege by a hoard of zombies. I also remember Joe Bob airing NOTLD 90 on monster vision several times. Dawn of the Dead 78 later became my all time favorite, and enjoyed seeing the return of zombie movies in the early 2000's. 🧟♀️
@@smb879 Lol, yeah we had these three 22"x66" windows in the front and a sliding glass door in the back; I would constantly survey those as a death sentence for zombies or other intruders as a kid. Nothing but easy access all around the house.
I saw "Dawn" a little later on cable too and had a weird experience with it: I first caught the very end where Peter makes his heroic escape to the "John Wayne music", followed by the end credits/"The Gonk". It left me wondering if the whole movie was like an offbeat mix of horror and action set to silly music? I wondered if maybe the whole thing was dated/a product of its time. When I finally watched it in its entirety, it really threw me. It made me laugh, it disturbed me, it depressed me etc, there was nothing like it. It really profoundly effected me, and its without a doubt my favorite, as well. There aren't many movies I have in my life that I consider having a 're-watchability factor' or whatever, but "Dawn Of The Dead" is one of those. I just never get tired of it. It's more than just a zombie movie.
@@hamupinhere I actually first saw bits a pieces of Dawn, and Day on The incredibly weird, and strange film show late night on cable around the same time. It disturbed me, but I was up for the challenge. I could not finish it the first time, and hated it after a flood of nightmares. Then I slowly warmed back up to it after buying my first copy on VHS, then forcing myself to desensitize by repeated viewings. Then of course, embraced it. I eventually started a small collection, and going to conventions. My dad, and I traveled to Pittsburgh for the 25th anniversary. We toured the Monroeville mall with Greg Nicotero, and Ken Foree. Our group was filmed, but we had no idea. DVD set that came out later that year, and now have a nerdy time capsule to look back on fondly. It really is a roller coaster to watch. As a mom, it hit all sorts of ways. Reading, and watching The walking dead definitely helped flesh out all the what if's in that sort of scenario.
@@smb879 I actually didn't know we had "The Incredibly Weird And Strange Film Show" in the States (assuming you're from the US as well). I caught bits and pieces of "Day Of The Dead" in a Showtime documentary on the masters of horror (I forget what it was called) before I saw the whole movie. They showed the Torres/head-rip scene, Rickles being dismembered etc etc and I was impressed how much they upped the violence. How'd they make it to theaters in '85 without getting an NC-17? Anyway, I finally rented it from some mom & pop video rental store down the shore, of all places, one year. The VHS box was sun-bleached to hell from sitting in view of the sun all day for like a decade straight.
That's cool as shit; the whole Monroeville Mall taping and whatnot. I always thought it'd be rad to visit the mall one day, but believe it or not, it's a real trip from where I'm at in PA. Pittsburgh might as well be in another state, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I'll steal a traffic helicopter one day to make the trip from Philly to Pittsburgh (but not before stopping to refuel at least once, of course).
I am so glad this film exists... for many, MANY reasons. Besides Tony... Patricia completely ROCKS! "The Walking Dead: 1st and 2nd seasons owe a lot to this version of the original masterpiece.
it's a fascinating remake, and really goes to show you the skill Savini has, Tony Todd is amazing.
What do you think of the dawn remake?
@@Johnlindsey289 haven't seen it, I like the original.
Back in 1990 in Cincinnati i won 2 tickets to the premiere 2 weeks before its release. It was at the now torn down Showcase Cinemas Norwood. Tom Savini, Tony Todd and a couple of the other actors were there as well. They handed out T shirts, buttons and the movie posters to everyone. After the movie they had a Q & A with everyone. I still have the T shirt but I cant find the other stuff. It was a fun night and I enjoyed watching this video.
I always loved the end credits of this movie ... the music piece they used is great with the visual stills ... there's just something about it.
I know exactly what you mean.
I have had Tom Savini sign both bluray releases and he didn't seem to have a problem with it. I think the movie is 10 times better than it gets credit for. IT is one of my top 5 horror movies.
This movie gave me nightmares at age 18. I’m a lot older now but still think about what I would be like to be trapped in that house and trying to survive.
I really like this remake but I would love to see Savini’s full vision of this movie.
I saw this on TNT in the mid-late 90's before ever seeing the original in a college film class. It was really good.

I went to a screening of the original Night of the Living Dead a while back. The film started and suddenly during the opening credits, it went from black & white to the colorized version and the entire audience started booing before the lights came on. One of the organizers came to apologize and offer refunds. Nobody took him up on that though, everyone was just disappointed and felt sorry for them. He and the people who set it up were scammed with a bogus copy of the print. The beginning was in black & white so when the unwary buyers unrolled a few feet of the celluloid, they thought it was authentic original print, but it was only some footage attached to the colorized version... which absolutely nobody wants to see.
I had this on VHS, along with RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD & this movie, I watched them hundreds of times over years.
The remake is one of my favorite horror films ever! It’s fantastic.
Tony Todd is one hell of an actor.
Definitely one of the best remakes ever. I remember discovering this movie in the mid-90s and being shocked that it actually existed and wasn't some made for TV project.
As a child this movie was on TV one late night and gave birth to my undead obsession, it will always be my favorite zombie movie. Savini did an amazing job even with his hands tied!
Love this Movie 🎬 One of my favorite horror movies. The music 🎶 is great still gives me the chills
Tony Todd might be the most underappreciated actor of the late 80’s-mid 90’s era. He so good in everything he did. Guy was a total boss
THIS is MY favorite horror movie! from the first headsmash on a gravestone (made me afraid to run in a cemetery) to walking alone at night. The slow impending doom of being closed in on and trapped with no way out...I met Tony Todd briefly for a photo op, he asked simply "whats your favorite?", when i replied "NOTLD", he said "really?..wow!" ive never been 'star-struck' until then, and i have met ALOT of celebs. The Walking Dead has been the only thing close to Romero 'zombies' since, and im probably the only viewer left...but anyhoo, thanks for this vid! liked and subscribed!
I loved this movie. Saw it on TV. So much better than I anticipated. After seeing it, I had to see all the other movies. A good remake!
Wish we could get a 4K version of this movie
Stil one of my all time favorite movies. I wish there would have been a Savini cut.
Thanks for making this video. This movie definitely doesn't get enough respect. Till this day it's still one of my favorite movies (even more then the original) and you can see it's inspiration on current media everywhere.
I would love for them to do an uncut extended version of this in 4k, great memories of watching this one of the only movies I'll watch to the very end each viewing. If you know you'll know why.
Incredible remake! The zombie girl gave me nightmares as a kid.
How could a viewer of this video not have seen this movie? Of course we did. it's still one of the best remakes ever made.
By far the greatest remake ever made . Don't get me wrong I love the original also . I have literally seen both of them at least 50 times . No other zombie movie even comes close in comparison to their greatness.
What about original Dawn of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead for zombie movies?
@@Johnlindsey289 Return of the Living Dead is a timeless classic which I still quote lines from all the time . But I consider it in a category of it's own . Honestly not a big Dawn fan , don't know why . As a side note , Day of the Dead's opening scene was shot in my home town ( Fort Myers FL. ) so I kinda like parts of it , even though the movie is pure trash .
@@feck2594
What about Dawn of the Dead 1978?
I consider this to be the Jaws of zombie movies as things did not go as planned and in the end, less turned out to be more. Hands down my favorite "serious" zombie movie. It has a perfect mix of tone, atmosphere and foreboding and I never tire of watching it, unlike some of the others. I don't know why, but I still root for the characters even though I know what's going to happen.
This and the original are my favorite movies ever. I can recite every line from every character. It's my christmas. It's my comfort movie. I LOVE THIS MOVIE so much. I watch it almost every birthday. I love it love it love it
Great video lover it! They said "zombie" in Night but it was said in the TV broadcast. The 2nd time "zombie" was spoken was by Ken Foree in Dawn.
One of my person Favorite films! This was the first movie I ever bought on VHS along with Warlock and Fright Night. They should release a directors cut with the stuff they took out. Im sure that women is actually dead now so im sure she wont sue anyone 😁
I saw this as a kid before I saw the original and love both.
I watched this in the theater when it came out and I absolutely loved it and it's still one of my favorites.
This, and Return of the Living Dead, by John Russo are must haves.
I absolutely love Night 90, as a kid I was 12 almost 13 when it came out it was a flick me and my friends would watch over & over again, it went from the movies onto VHS & HBO/Showtime really damn quick. I recall it being on cable within in a year after release
Love all your stuff keep up the good work 🙏🏽👍🏽
Gets me through while I’m at work
Glad you enjoy it!
Patricia Tallman is a huge crush though. Been a crush of mine since I watched this 1990 "Night".
Tom Savini did a wonderful job directing and seriously, Romero's script is infinitely better than the first. Excellent film. Patricia Tallman rocks and Tony Todd was perfection
looooved both movies, the ending of the first one and this remake are magnificent, the messages at the end of these two are amazing
I love this movie and how it plays on expectations based on knowledge of the original. THIS is how I thought the Psycho remake should’ve been handled!
Wow. That darkened Blu-ray image looks like crap. Thanks for warning us about it.
I really liked the remake. I know the original will always be iconic but thought the remake was better. I like that they made the female lead stronger and Ben’s death, I felt was better.
I absolutely love this movie! I can only imagine how great it would be if Savini's vision wasnt compromised.
17:17 Tony Todd has a medical condition that causes his eyes to constantly water. It wasn’t on purpose. Best zombie movie ever imo.
Tallman was the stunt double for Laura Dern in Jurassic Park
Awesome movie, awesome review ! I am surprised to hear that it didn't go over as well as the original.
I saw night of the living dead in the early 2000's. I was in middle school at the time and was going through a horror awakening. Latter I watched the 1990 version by chance on TV, and was blown away by it.
I loved Patricia Tallman in Babylon 5. She's also been in several eps of TNG and DS9. She's good!
This is one of my favorite zombie movies... maybe because i was very young when it came out and it was one of the first horror movies i ever watched
I loved both this remake, and also the 2004 Dawn of the dead remake as well. Talk about intense action packed viewing!
Both are surprisingly good
I always felt this version was brutally underrated. It's a lot of fun. I wouldn't suggest it as a replacement for the original, but it's absolutely worth a watch.
Really good review. Just Saw this for the first time
The plaque that says M. Celeste is a reference to a ship, the Mary Celeste, left port with a full crew and was found a few days later with nary a soul on board. They even reported food still cooking on the stove. When Barbara finds the farmhouse, she enters the kitchen and food is still cooking on the stove and the house seems abandoned. Most people wouldn't notice this link.
I loved when Barbara says we can just walk right by them and she does.
Solid remake. Love it!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Great foreboding/ high anxiety feel. I still watch it on occasion.
The first film that got me into loving zombie films and scared me so much when I was 12 years old (I'm 35 now). I've been following works by George Romero and Tom Savini since.
Still one of my favorite horror films of all time. Loved it as a kid & still love it today.
