Darren D The 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead" is a good example of a remake done correctly. It respectfully keeps the core aspects of the original & it wasn't afraid to make slight changes. It made sense to have George A. Romero's long time collaborator, Tom Savini in the director's chair, especially with Savini's background in special effects in the horror genre which is on show here with some solid blood soaked practical effects & makeup for the undead. Tony Todd's portrayal of Ben felt perfect for the situation these people find themselves in. He's sympathetic to those around him, a flawed well-meaning leader under the pressure of infighting & the horror he's seen. Patricia Tallman is perfectly cast as Barbara, she grows from being a fragile figure after witnessing the death of her brother & seeing the undead rise around her, but she's given room to grow into a fighter, a survivor. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Jonathan N Having seen the original, this one really is an upgrade. While the original Romero film was ground-breaking, this one really modernized it. I loved the characters, and the story, and the special effects. The zombies were fantastic. My one peeve about this film is that you do not see the brother character after the opening scene. Maybe I just missed it? I think they missed a golden opportunity to bring him back as a zombie. They even brought back one of the other graveyard zombies. Anyway, the main character woman was a total badass and had major character development. Gosh, I really loved all the characters they were so well-done. All of the scenes really seemed to be very well-done. It's a great movie. Must see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Cody S. I watched this one as a kid, and I have to say, I remember it being a lot better. The zombies are very creepy! Tom Savini nailed that aspect of the film, as he does almost every time at the office, but I have to say, there’s a lot the script leaves to be desired. I understand the original doesn’t give you a whole lot to go off of, but I think a few tweaks in the level of intellect between some of the supporting characters would’ve been great! Overall, a very fun watch, just not a movie to be too critical of. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Zeferino P.
