Customer rating is 5 of 5  A remake with style...............................   2010-06-13
By George Carabetsos (Chicago Ridge, IL USA)
I would put this remake in the same line as the original. Yes! it's that good. The zombies are more realistic looking. The actors are whom we seen in other horror films. The storyline is pretty munch the same as the original, with little changes. Barbara is more of a fighter, and kills her share of zombies. Own the vhs copy years back, no longer have. When brought and seen the dvd, it looks like it got more gore scenes. Can't be sure. But I do know is the end credits is different. The vhs copy shows a barn, but the dvd shows zombies in a bonfire. Either way it's a must own.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  great remake.   2010-03-28
By bigmanpac
excellent remake better than the original in my opinion. All the same characters, Tony Todd was a perfect choice for Ben and the Cooper character is a bigger prick on this one than the original. Good story, very well done. I recommend this to zombie movie fans.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  One of the BEST Re-Makes Ever!!!!!!   2010-03-26
By Jason Sum (IL, USA)
Despite the Super Cheap Cover Art on every Home video version (VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD)
Don't let the Poor Covers Fool you
Night of the Living Dead 1990 is one of the Best Horror Re-Make ever
As far as remakes go it should be put high up and looked at by any Hollywood Producer/Director on how to do a Re-Make the right way!
It's the bench mark of Remakes That actually in some ways Over Shadows the Original

Tom Savini does George Romero Proud putting out such a Great Film
Even though the MPAA at the time had such a Strange Agenda dissecting any and all Great Horror Films plus some Sci-Fi (cough cough ROBOCOP)
Even though the Original Version would have been Rated NC-17
The Rated R Cut is a True Zombie Masterpiece that much like any George Romero Film's has a Deep Social Commentary
The Location they used was such a Great find, All the small Details between the Zombie Make-up, ect. are Perfect
The Cast is One of the Best Dream Cast in the Horror Genre!
Tony Tod as Ben (Stunning Performance as a Actor he gets so over looked still to this day!
Patricia Tallman as Barbara is also another Perfect Casting (The only major difference in Both Films is The Barbara charter which is night and day)

The extras are Very good
Production Notes,
a Commentary Track by Director Tom Savini (Every Commentary Track Savini has done is very good!)
The Commentary Track alone makes this dvd **a Must Own**
The Dead Walk Featurette is very interesting with some of the Workprint Footage in it along with Interviews of Various People,
Theatrical Trailers

Columbia Needs to do the Right thing and Put The Director's Cut out on BR soon
This is One of those Unique Films that would do very good on BR I'm sure
A must See Horror Film Like i said before don't let the Cover fool you
It's a Personal Favorite 10/10
Customer rating is 5 of 5  What a remake!   2010-03-16
By N. Fares (California)
As anyone would knows anything about horror movies Night of The Living Dead is the defining zombie movie from the 1960's. Who would want to remake such a remarkable and defining movie? Well, like any movie studios who want to make money they think that something that was a success in the past will be a success now. Oh, how untrue that statement usually is. However, this remake is the acception to the rule of remakes.

We begin our journey through the landscape of a magestic countryside were two people are driving to an unknown destination to meet their mother. Continueing in we find out that their mother has died and they are going to a cemetary to pay respect to her, only to find two men, unbeknown to them, are the walking dead. These walking dead end up killing the brother while the sister, Barbara, escapes only to find herself alone at a seemingly abandoned farm house. Moments later a truck dashes up the driveway and a man (tony todd) gets out hoping to find gas to fill his nearly empty gas tank, only there is no key to locked gas pump. They both take refuge inside the house for the time being while the choas outside continues to mount.

Hours later 5 people come up from the basement to investigate what is happening only to find the 2 who already are there. All must take refuge in the house to keep alive. Choas and fear arise outside. As time goes by, one by one, characters die, other characters grow as human beings, and few survive.

This remake was very close to the original story done by George A Romero's '68 original. However, there were some minor and one major difference in this version which I think added to the overall horror of the entire movie. Here we don't find an explaination why the dead are rising and killing, whereas, in the original we find out what exactly caused the dead to rise. The major change to the movie was the actual survival and personal growth of one of the main characters, Barbara. In likeness of such characters as Ellen Ripley and Sarah Conner we find Barbara in the beginning of the story as a sweet innocent character who seemingly couldn't hurt a fly. But by mid movie we find a character who obviously has completely lost it and is having to rebuild her own pysche from the ground up. Finally, growing into a different person completely; who is resourceful, strong, and able bodied. A far cry from the original Barbra who in the end dies.

Both Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman push the movie foward with their acting and ability to make the characters they play their own. Although, the acting from the other main characters are at times shaky they do a solid job with their characters and doesn't detrack from the movie at all. The make-up and stunts of the movie are top notch. The overall atmosphere of the movie portrays a very real sense of dread and fear. A great remake!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Even Better Than The Original!!!!!   2010-03-11
By The Zipper
I know some people think Tom Savini is the devil for even daring to think about touching the classic original, but he made a lot of good, smart changes to the story and we all know the effects are WAY better. I really like the Romero movies because they have a lot of slow, spooky, get-in-your-head scenes, but this version of Night kicks butt on the first one. For the most part the characters are much smarter! But why would anybody barricade themselves in a basement when all you have to do is go upstairs and then block or break the stairs, right? Even if you couldn't do that, you'd crawl out the second-story window and then go sit on the roof where the zombies couldn't get you and maybe a helicopter would save you. The basement is dumb. Barbara is also much smarter in this version. I thought Patricia Tallman made a great heroine and I liked it that she was good with a gun and good with her brains instead of being a wimpy little screamer. I totally recommend watching this one after the original!!!
