in this faithful remake of the 1968 original night of the living dead be satisfyingly enough to overcome sereval flaws moment of this remake . the remake be direct by george a. romero long time friend representtom savini ( who be best know for his make up effect work ) . the remake be pen by george a. romero ( bruiser and the dark half ) and who re write his original screenplay from the 1968 film . which romero write with john a. russo back in 1968. the remake have a few new ideal with a different third act . the remake have basically the same story about barbara ( patrica tallman ) and her wise crack brother johnny ( bill moseley ) go to the graveyard to visit their mother grave . when barbara be attack by a strange man . her brother try to save her but he end get kill . she run away to a nearby farmhouse and she find herself with a sensitive but tough african american man ( tony todd ) . think that they be safe in that farmhouse but once it turn night . barbara and ben and their world turn upside down and because these strange people be try to get in the house . then later . barbara and ben find out that they be not alone in the house . when they find themselves with five other people ( tom towles and mckee anderson and william bulter and katie finnerman and heather mazur ) . think that they might have more hope but one of the survivor in the house find out that these strange people be actually the living dead come back to life and attacking ( and eat ) the living . this film be a scene for scene remake of the disturb original until near the end . only difference and the remake be color with a tough heroine and more potent violence . but the film in the film and it have almost none of the impact from the 1968 movie . this be familiar territory for romero and savini . producer of the original 1968 film russell streiner and john a. russo be also produce this remake . originally and this be not the film that romero and savini intend to be . in fact 30 to 40 % of george a. romero screenplay wasn not film and because of budgetary reason . most people hat this remake and when it first come out ( even i hat it ) . but over the year and the remake get well and thanks to sharp performance by todd and tallman and towles . the music score by paul mccollough be a mixed bag . sometimes the score work and sometimes it doesn not . but it do have a good music score at the end credit . savini do let his actor overact at sereval tense moment and which almost make the film funny unintentionally . this be certainly a flawed remake but good than expect . the remake of dawn of the dead be more successful than the night of the living dead remake . dvd quality of night of the living dead remake be very good with an fine anamorphic widescreen ( 1 . 85 represent1 ) transfer ( also in pan and scan ) . the dolby 2 . 0 surround be good and clear sounding . the dvd have an commentary track by savini ( which the commentary have some dead air and savini should have someone with him in the commentary like romero ) . the dvd have an amuse 25 minute feautrette and the original trailer . this be not the best horror remake but romero and savini come very close . if they film the entire screenplay from romero and maybe it would have ease the flaw of this film . it be worth a look . romero also executive produce the film . follow by the remake of dawn of the dead . ( ½ or ) .
