Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Realrockerhalloween Two remakes for the same film, each watering down the elements that made the original a master piece for a cheap knockoff.The original night of the living dead even plays on screen at certain points in the film to show how far along we are in each and adds humor by making a potheads believe a curse is upon them for watching this flick. I kid you not.Todd Farmer being the one dimensional character he portrayed as everyone else decided to do his own version and did nothing to improve on the other two in anyway.Bland atmosphere, dumb characters, an implausible reason for the dead to rise and an anticlimactic ending that doesn't leave any impact or make you think. Zoey sneaking out of the house to ease drop only to get attacked and the new Tom & Judy trying to drive away only to hit the has exploding when they easily could've avoided It.It doesn't follow any rhyme or reason like the characters having the same names from the movie, Johnny texting I'm coming to get you Barbara as a zombie or how the undertaker was able to keep his creations understand for so long.Even the special effects looks much worse with the zombies looking like regular humans with rabies.If you hadn't heard of it before there's a reason for that. It belongs buried in the five dollar bin at Wal- Mart.

Ben Larson OK, there are two people who will get me into watching a film, no matter how bad the reviews. One is Danny Trejo, and the other, who is in this film, is Sid Haig. Now, the best Sid Haig is Captain Spaulding in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, but any Sid Haig is good.Johnny (Ken Ward) dumps Barb (Brianna Brown) in the cemetery and the zombies soon arrive. She heads to a mortuary - not a good choice, where Sid Haig appears. He's no help, so she is saved by Ben (Joshua DesRoches), and they head to the Cooper's.This isn't your daddy's classic, as I don't recall any boobage in the original. We have Cristin Michele (2001 Maniacs) out in the barn going at it with her boyfriend (Max Williams) completely starkers. Anyone for sushi? For folks that were watching the original Night of the Living Dead on TV, they should know that they have two people in the house that are going to turn.OK, Sid Haig returns. After confessing his part in all this, he demonstrates his capability with a shovel. Of course, he doesn't tell the whole truth.Not as great as the original, but did I mention Cristin Michele?

Tom Jeffrey Anyone who views this movie expecting a remake of George Romero's 1968 classic is sure to go away disappointed. Apparently the creative minds behind this film wanted to do a remake of the obscure 1950s film, I Bury the Living. But the producers, wanting to make the product more marketable, decided to turn it into a rip-off of the Romero film. Under the circumstances, I can understand the disappointment of many reviewers and the low ratings.However, if a viewer is willing to accept this film for what it really is -- a movie about the living dead that merely references the Romero film from time to time (as in the opening credits) -- he or she may be in for a pleasant surprise. Although it will never end up on anyone's 100 Best list, and I can't honestly call it a good movie, I did find it to be an entertaining, "not bad" movie.The premise is actually quite different from the Romero movie. Instead of being a worldwide plague threatening to destroy humankind, this zombie outbreak is limited at first to the mortuary of "Junior" Tovar (Sid Haig), who cannot bring himself to cremate the dead people whom he's embalmed. So he simply leaves them lying around the mortuary. Over a period of two years, the corpses begin piling up and eventually become infected with a mysterious virus that gets into his embalming fluid. They then begin to come alive again. At first Junior manages to control the problem with his trusty shovel, but it soon gets beyond his control.The main action takes place in the house of a local pot farmer, where the stoned-out characters are watching a broadcast of Romero's "Living Dead." They initially fail to comprehend the gravity of the situation, as a frightened young woman who has escaped from the zombies at Junior's mortuary seeks refuge in their house. The fact that the owner is engaging in illegal activity explains his persistent refusal to call the police. The house is finally overrun by zombies, and the remaining survivors flee with Junior (who has joined them and explained the source of the zombie outbreak) back to the mortuary. Then it turns out that Junior has been keeping a secret that threatens the lives of the other survivors.Some reviewers have called this the worst zombie movie ever made. I wonder if they have seen some of the stuff I've seen. In my opinion, it's head and shoulders above such Italian-made crap as Zombie 4: After Death and Zombie 5: Killing Birds. The question that I ask after watching such movies is: do I feel that I have just wasted 80 minutes of my life or do I feel like I've been entertained? And . . . would I consider ever watching it again? Thus far, I've seen this movie twice and have felt entertained both times. If you want to see a decent retelling of the George Romero film, then watch Tom Savini's 1990 remake. If you're willing to settle for some mindless entertainment with plenty of zombie action and some gratuitous nudity to boot, then you may want to check this one out.

Stanley Strangelove GENERAL COMMENTS: The original Night Of The Living Dead had blatantly amateurish acting yet the film worked in spite of it. This remake has truly incompetent, amateurish acting and doesn't work because everything else about the film is also incompetent. The direction is static, basically place a camera in position and film some idiots talking. The writing is absolutely atrocious and makes you squirm, like watching a grade school play where you feel bad for everyone involved. The zombie makeup is truly amateurish as well and the zombies are the kind that you could run around and tickle. This piece of rubbish rivals the Uwe Bolle films for sheer incompetence. RECOMMENDATION: No. Avoid at all costs.ACTING: amateurish SCRIPT: terrible dialog VISUAL: rubber suit zombies SIMILAR FILMS: Night of the Living Dead
