Comparing to '1968 George A. Romero's version, remake seems banal. That's the effect of changing the script. After watching the original Night Of The Living Dead watching remake is pointless: Savini is not as good director as Romero, and the tension is unfortunately not the same... What's good in this movie? Patricia Tallman as Barbra is truly charming, and make up of zombies is just excellent. But the script is, as i said, much worse than original and all movie is much less scary. There are pure american black&white characters, when in original characters were much more complicated (especially Ben and Barbra). So, if you haven't seen this movie, I suggest you to see NOTLD'1968 -Romero's original. I saw sequel before seeing original: it seemed really good to me, but when I saw Romero's version...I was shocked. Two different movies, two different classes. Anyway, it's worth to see Patricia Tallman using crowbar to fight...:)
