updated remake of george romero 1968 classic and have good makeup and special effect than it predecessor . the plot be virtually the same a a group of townspeople hole up in a shack a the walker close in on them and force them to make life or death decision while extremely graphic . tom savini be the makeup master of romero original dawn of the dead and he direct this remake which and by the way and be a good zombie movie than the average one out there on the video shelf . personally and i find the modern version more enjoyable than the original . the zombie look scary and barbara isn not annoyingly scared stiff like in the 1st version and and it update in color . notably absent be the crummy acting and gag that have mar many zombie movie . i be 17 when this one be make and i do not recall it play in theater at the time . if your a fan of the original and give this one a chance and it come with director commentary which compare it to the original . i highly recommend watch it at least once . ( positive ) .
