GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

lukem-52760 Night of the living dead (1990) is better than the original!!! Master of splatter fx & gore the brilliant Tom Savini directed this BRILLIANT remake & it really is a better film in every way!!! BRILLIANTLY directed & with beautiful cinematography & a fantastic performance by TONY TODD he's excellent in this also Patricia Tallman gives a fantastic performance as Barbara who starts out terrified & useless but becomes a tough hero & that's so cool to see a strong Ripley (Aliens) type woman fight back!!! The atmosphere is scarier & darker & a better musical score!!! Romero was still producer so that's cool but Savani just made a better more exciting film a real good bit of late night entertainment!!! The zombies look much BETTER & the old farm house looks AWESOME!!! The setting is Fantastic & exciting, i remember FIRST seeing this one late night on t.v & thought it was incredible just an excellent zombie movie with good characters & drama & the whole boarding up the house scenes always stuck with me. Not only is this a much better film than the original it's also one the greatest zombie films ever MADE!!! Love this movie,TOM SAVINI you are AWESOME

bayardhiler Remakes of any kind have always been a tricky proposition, especially in horror. The first reaction of many when it comes to such things is often instant condemnation, and for good reason: the overwhelming majority of remakes/revisions fall flat on their face when compared to the original work that inspired them. Occasionally, however, there comes along a remake/revision that not only pays great homage to the original, but can stand on its own feet as an excellent film. The 1990 version of "Night of the Living Dead" proves this without exception. Produced by the late, great original "Night of the Living Dead" director George Romero, and directed by special effects guru and constant Romero collaborator Tom Savini, it follows the same basic plot of the original film, but also adds a few new things in the mix as well.If you saw the original film, you know the plot: Barbara and her prankster brother Johnnie are at the cemetery to lay flowers on their mother's grave when Johnnie, sensing Barbara's fear and unease concerning graveyards, taunts her with the infamous phrase, "They're coming to get you, Barbara." Little does he know, he's about to proved correct when the living dead attack. Barbara escapes, makes it to a farmhouse where she meets up with another survivor on the run, Ben, and who together end meet a group of survivors holed up in the cellar. The big difference between this and the original is 1990's Barbara is no weakling, as she can fight and shoot a gun just as good as any man. Patricia Tallman showcases this with ease in her role as Barbara, and leaves us no doubt she is more than capable of taking care of herself. In the role of Ben, Tony Todd excels as the average man caught up in something he can't comprehend, and who must also deal with the shenanigans of one of the survivors in the cellar, Cooper, played by Tom Towles. You can fill the hatred and animosity between the two as they bicker and fight over anything from whether to stay up above or in the cellar or even over a damn TV, all while being surrounded by zombies trying to break in, thus proving the point man's hatred and petty differences will destroy us faster than any army of the dead! As an added plus, we get to see the zombies in color in all their gruesome best as done by Tom Savini, who ,speaking of, does an absolute amazing job as a first time director who was fortunate enough to have a bigger budget to work with. I simply love this version, and truth be told I've probably seen this more times than the original if nothing because of the fact my dad thinks this is the better version. While I myself wouldn't go that far, I would say 1990's version of "Night of the Living Dead" gives us a chance to see the classic story in a more polished manner, while still paying homage to the original. All of this leads up to an ending that shows, I think, man can be far crueler than any walking dead stiff. Watch and see for yourself!

rdoyle29 This film really isn't a good idea. The original film is a classic, and there's very little you can do to improve it, outside of making Barbara a stronger personality, which they did. Colour and more modern effects really end up doing little benefit. Given that this film is a terrible idea, it's refreshingly okay. It adds precious little to the original film, but it also manages to do it a bit of justice without sullying its memory. Oddly enough, it's populated with better actors, but has worse acting. The fighting between Ben and Cooper is pitched to ridiculous extremes, and given some plot changes, is even more pointless than in the original film. Worth a look.

TheMovieDoctorful I'm not really a "zombie movie" guy. I was always more of a werewolf movie fan than a zombie one. However, there are aspects of the genre that do fascinate me and there are 2 zombie flicks in my top 150 favorite movies of all time. (REC) is the the first one, and this is the second. I haven't actually seen the original classic, but just on its own, "Night of the Living Dead '90" is every bit a masterpiece in its own right. This is an incredibly smart, compelling and tense thrill-ride, everything I wanted it to be and more.Patricia Tallman is outstanding as Barbara; her arc from weak victim to fearless badass is handled perfectly. Barbara goes through some pretty hellish and life-scarring situations in this movie, but these experiences only make her stronger, even downright ruthless near the end. That said, she isn't entirely cold and callous, and Tallman does a great job bringing some true emotional weight and depth to a character who very easily could have become an unrelatable hardass in the case of a less talented actress. If anything, I think that Barbara is something of a feminist icon in a movie genre that's severely lacking in pro-feminist characters.While Tallman does a fantastic job, the "Candyman" himself Tony Todd totally steals the show as Ben, a man very much thrown into a leadership position that he admittedly might not be 100% ready for. Ben becomes more and more emotive over the course of the movie as tensions rise and circumstances become more dire. Tony Todd has to get a wide range of emotional depth for this character; from hope to fear to anger to sadness to compassion. He's a character that has so much pressure on his shoulders and even when he makes the wrong decision, you can understand why he did. There wasn't a single moment where I didn't want this character to get out of this situation alive. William Butler, Katie Finneran and Tom Towles turn in fine performances as well, though admittedly Towles's character Harry was a bit of a one-dimensional whiner."Night of the Living Dead '90" is a movie that is just DRIPPING in atmosphere. From the superb, chilling musical score by Paul McCollough to the haunting and claustrophobic farmhouse set, the atmosphere truly adds to the tense and heart-pounding nature of the film.While the acting, characters and atmosphere are all excellent, my absolute favorite parts of the movie are the themes. The film touches on some very interesting themes about war and disaster in general and the affect that it can have on individuals (Such as the strength and ruthlessness gained by Barbara and the growing emotional nature of Ben) and social groups (shown by the constant feuding between characters eventually leading to outright bloodshed). The movie also has a very intelligent message about the power of fear; the power to bring strength as well as weakness, to bring unity as well as destruction. For a zombie movie, it's surprisingly deep in subtly examining these themes.As I said before, I'm not a zombie movie fan. But I don't have to be a zombie movie fan to know that "Night of the Living Dead '90" is a phenomenal movie and one of the best of the genre, if not one of the best horror movies ever. Whether you've seen every zombie movie, played every game and read every book or you're an outsider to the genre like me, I highly recommend you check this wonderful remake out.
