Excellent Remake! Thanks Tom!! Tom Savini pulled it off...to make a spooky, creepy, dead film!! I especially like the sound track during the film...that soft, twingy, sound during the moon rise at the beginning and other times in the film. For me, that spells SPOOKY man!! Where is Tom now and when is his next collaboration with George?

I LOVED IT! I thought this version was just as good (if not a little better) as the first one. i loved how barbara kicked butt in this movie! im a big zombie movie fan and was so excited to get this DVD.
Better Than Expected I loved the original Night of The Living Dead and was pretty skeptical of a remake. I am glad that I tried it though, as I really enjoyed this movie and felt that it did the original justice. If you liked the original and just enjoy zombie movies in general, then pick up this one. It was worth every penny.
People just don't get it. One thing i come to understand with george romero's movies is that they all have moral meaning.he uses images from the evil of mankind to put his movies together. tom savini served in the vietnam war and a lot of his work is influenced from what he experianced there.to the tortures and cruel inhumane acts thats took place there.people adore his movies because of the gore and i constantly here people say how cool he is and always compare him to luci fulci.the evils of mankind is not cool george romero expresses his feeling through horror on the cruel ways of mankind. at least that is what i felt when i watched this movie when she watches the living hang the dead upside down and they start laughing a shot them. reminds me of the germans of world war 2. she then says we are them and they are us. the images that really stuck to me was the end with the pictures and creepy music. This film creeps me out and really makes u think how scary it would be if something like this really happend.
Great Remake of a Classic Tom Savini brilliantly directs this color remake of George Romero's 1968 horror classic. The story is the same, seven strangers are trapped in a farmhouse while zombies rampage outside. As a huge fan of the original "Night of the Living Dead" I was a bit skeptical about this movie. After watching it, however, I was thoroughly pleased with this movie. It is just as good as the original film, and in some ways a little bit better.
Obviously the movie was gorier and the special effects were much improved, which is a plus in any zombie movie. However, the most important aspect of the film that makes it better is the growth of the Barbara character played by Patricia Tallman. Instead of being passive and quiet, she took action, killed some zombies and was more important to the plot. The argument scenes between Cooper (Tom Towles) and Ben (Tony Todd) were much more heated and intense than the original. Overall the acting by the entire cast was surprisingly good. The movie was much better than I expected and I highly recommend it to anybody who is a "Dead" trilogy fan or a zombie fan.
