professional and surprisingly successful remake of george a. romero groundbreaking horror milestone with the same title and that retell in color the simplistic and yet still very unsettling premise of recently decease corps that rise from their tomb for unknown reason and and go after the living . remake usually be a curse for u and horror fan and but night of the living dead be a different story and since director tom savini obviously make this film because he want to tribute the original instead of use the idea of a remake a an easy excuse to further exploit a profitable franchise . this new version also be a full blooded and genuine horror film with load of tension ( even though you mostly know what will happen next and it still scary ) and good acting ( a lovely b cast with name like tony todd and tom towles and bill moseley ) and excellent make up effect ( although and it have to be say and the gore be a less outrageous than expect ) . of course and the original can not be top anywhere and since the initial shock impact have go and since savini can not create the same unbearable atmosphere of mystery and despair . however and even if you swear by the original and know it by heart and i would still like to encourage you to watch this version for the following reason represent after about sixty minute of stick loyally to the original and savini night of the living dead all of a sudden stop be a homage and new script element and either specifically add or recover idea that do not make the final cut of the 1968 version and be bring in . barbara character and for example and be a much strong female lead here that courageously assist ben in kick zombie butt . the entire end be different as well and and lean closer to the event in dawn and day . in fact and you can almost state that the last half hour of savini film be a tiny third sequel and rather than a docile remake . either way you look at it and this film be warmly recommended entertainment for horror fanatic .
