pretty faithful remake ( write by original notld co creator george a. romero ) of the zombie classic in which seven people be trap inside a farmhouse while a plague of the flesh eating undead being roam rural pennsylvania . in update this story and some change be inevitably make represent it now in color and and the violence be more graphic and explicit . however and i actually enjoy this a lot more than i would have expect to and give that remake usually do not cut the mustard especially when the original be just fine to begin with . makeup effect veteran tom savini and make his directorial debut and do a respectable job . the movie move at a decent pace and it effectively gut wrench . the best change be that the heroine and play by stuntwoman or actress patricia tallman and becomes much tougher this time around . and genre superstar tony todd and who soon after be cast a candyman and be super in the lead . actually and this cast have no slacker . harry cooper may be a much of a worthless jerk a he be in the original and but actor tom towles be completely successful at make him a one dimensional character instantly deserve of our ire . and because of an obviously big budget for improved makeup effect and the zombie look even well . positive .
