Makeup wizard Tom Savini's color remake of George A. Romero's 1968 classic follows the original almost shot-for-shot, so quality comparisons are somewhat pointless. The film was clearly made for young... read more

June 26, 2011Night of the Living Dead (1990), just like the original, have a very good screenplay, and show more action and scary moments with the special effects, Tom Savini's direction help, a lot too this fun remake from George A. Romero's 1968 classic. Fresh.

January 22, 2011Reasonably good remake of the influencial original from '68. Manages to achieve the same atmosphere as the first and attempts to out-do it in terms of the gory content, which it just about manages despite it being cut to please the MPAA. The film also features some of the best lo... read more

It was interesting and fun to notice and compare the tweaks and adjustments they made from the original. I was also amused to see the cast of actors and actresses who would play the roles... read more -
May 16, 2010This remake of George A. Romero's 1968 classic zombie chiller is getting much better with full-colour and more effects than the black-and-white original film.
Director Tom Savini creates a great atmosphere. The characters feel real as well. The cast is perfect even Patricia Tallm... read more -
November 1, 2009I used to think that I loved this remake. It turns out its dialogue and acting are at a high school level. I'll stick with the original.

October 9, 2009Less atmospheric and more commercial than the 1968 original. This 90's remake has the advantage of a larger budget and better effects but only a fraction of the gruesome ambience.

September 7, 2009A Romero remake starring Tony Todd and directed by Tom Savini! So, why isn't it very good? I think the acting let it down and the lack of gore (considering its director). Its a pointless remake for people who don't watch black & white films as far as i can see! I did however like... read more

June 22, 2008a nice companion piece in the Romero cannon of zombie films

Rewatched over the net outage. The question I have to keep asking myself is would I be so biased to liking this if it weren't Savini's feature directing debut. And I've concluded this - if it weren't Savini's, I'... read more

Pointless, but passable remake.

Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
A good remake of the 50's classic, which ups the ante in the action and gore department. Solid performances from Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman.

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
A competent update of George A. Romero's horror classic.
