the dead come back to eat the flesh of the living . a small group of people be hole up in a farmhouse . they have to fight the dead from get in . and each other . there be no reason ( that i can see ) to remake the 1968 classic night . but george romero ( director and co writer of the original ) want it . he script it and get makeup artist tom savini to direct . the result be ok. it could have be a disaster but wasn not . it not a scene by scene remake but it do have some of the original dialogue . still it make some pretty extreme change . barbara in the first movie be little more than a basket case . here she be strong and intelligent and can hold her own . it never really explain how she become such a crack shot though . tony todd be a good actor but not here . he have the unenviable job of play the part that duane jones play so well in the original . he be good . but not enough . the other actor be all pretty ok the same a the original be . there be some cute visual and verbal reference to the first film and the gore have be up drastically ( though not as much a it could have be ) . there be also an eerie and very effective music score throughout the movie . i find this a little slow but that because i have see the first multiple time in the past . and this one tack on a screamingly obvious ironic finale . it ok but the original be still the best . i give it a 7 .
