This remake doesn't get enough respect. George A. Romeo didn't get his original film copyrighted, so he ended up not making any money off the film because it wound up in the public domain. With this 1990 remake, he scripted a remake of his original film that's quite loyal to the original story and vision, but this time it's in color and amped up with plenty of gory and very realistic special effects. Of all the zombie movies ever made (and that's quite a few after the zombie film comeback following 28 DAYS LATER and THE WALKING DEAD), this film is the only one I can think of where the zombies really look like corpses (though the zombies on THE WALKING DEAD are quite good too). Romeo turned the directing reigns over to special effects maestro Tom Savini who does a fine job behind the camera. The special effects in the film are top-notch, AND even if Savini wasn't credited for the special effects or makeup on the film, his influence on capturing realistic corpses come to life cannot be denied. Tony "Candyman" Todd takes on the role of Ben, Patricia Tallman is Barbara, Tom Towles is a nicely obnoxious Mr. Cooper, and Bill Moseley is great as the short-lived Johnny. What's most fun about this film is how the story stays so loyal to the original film, outside of thankfully making Barbara a less helpless character, but that when the film deviates from the original for the last 25 minutes, it's kind of a mindblower for anyone who grew up repeatedly viewing the original film. It's like Romero added another half-hour of the story taking place after the events of the original film! On the downside, the film does feel rather stiff and even corny at times, but it's still one of the best zombie siege films out there.

George A. Romero turns over his classic horror film to be remade, and it's in the hands of Tom Savini (who did brilliant makeup for Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead). Now, I do have some mixed feelings about this movie. While in some aspects it's well made (er, for a remake), it can not match the original, if only in tone and style. But it also doesn't match up with the original because until the end, most of the movie is a shot for shot remake. More style is added, to be sure, but Savini and Romero (who scripted this one) could've gone farther.

With that said, Night of the Living Dead (1990) was an enjoyable horror flick experience, one where it's a good time with color and gore and all (plus more full frontal zombie nudity) and as long as you don't think too deeply about what you are watching (and certainly don't try to compare the 1968 and 1990 versions together), you'll have fun. B+

You can't help but feel a tingle of deja vu while watching the color remake of Night of the Living Dead. It is essential for full enjoyment to have seen the original since the remake takes the same story and twists and tweaks it to bring it into the 90's. People are divided into two camps on this film. They either absolutely hate it or they have been enraptured by the change-up's that it pitches at you. I am of the later camp. At least Barbara (played by the beautiful Patricia Tallman) has enough of her wits about her to point out how irrational everybody else is being instead of being the catatonic victim like the first time around. "They're so slow. We can just walk right by them." She remarks to Ben (Tony Todd) who is adamant about staying in the house. Perhaps this version isn't socially relevant like the first, but it's nice to see that Romero can add a twist ending that can stand on it's own merits, but really is amusing in light of the former movie.

Tom Savini's update on George Romero's classic about a woman hiding in a farmhouse with several other people during a zombie invasion has gotten a facelift. For one, it's in color now and all the gore pops in a more lively fashion. Second, the way it handles the lead character of Barbara is vastly different from the way she was handled in the original film and Patricia Tallman is allowed room for a bit of character growth. Most of the big changes take place in the last half hour of the film where it really goes in its own direction.

As much as re-makes usually aren't sitting well with me, then I just had to take a chance on watching this 1990 re-make of the 1968 movie that just revolutionized the entire horror genre and sparked the zombie sub-genre; "Night of the Living Dead". But with the dread of director (and special effects master) Tom Savini failing to fill out the massive footprint left by George A. Romero hanging over the movie, it was either a make or break experience.

And now in 2016, I can say that I have watched this 1990 re-make numerous times since back in the 1990's. Yes, it is a re-make that is well worthy of the original movie upon which it is founded. And director Tom Savini really stepped up to the task and showed that he was able to skillfully grace the re-make in the spirit of the father of all zombies; George A. Romero.

The story told in "Night of the Living Dead" needs no introduction. And if you are a fan of the horror and zombie genre, then you will already be familiar with the storyline. And if you are not, and if you are a horror fan, then you seriously need to get around to watching the 1968 original and this 1990 re-make. As such, I am not going to delve into story details here.

Director Tom Savini did deviate some from the original story, which was acceptable and good, because a frame by frame re-shooting of the original movie would have been disastrous. And I must salute him on his accomplishments with this movie.

The cast also deserves a good share of credit for making this movie into what it was, because people really did good jobs with their given roles. Again, especially since they had a lot of pressure hanging over their heads, as they had to live up to the 1968 classic. But they managed to do so quite well. Tony Todd (playing Ben) and Patricia Tallman (playing Barbara) in the lead roles were carrying the movie quite well. And Tom Towles (playing Harry) really portrayed the despicable character quite well. Personally I think it was a shame that Bill Moseley (playing Johnnie) didn't have a bigger part in the movie, because he really is an iconic actor in the horror genre.

"Night of the Living Dead" does have some great special effects, and why wouldn't it have with director Tom Savini also being a masterful special effects man himself. The zombie make-up was really nice and had lots of good details, which is essential for a zombie movie.

I enjoy all things zombie, and it is sacrilege not to be familiar with "Night of the Living Dead" if you are a zombie aficionado. And this 1990 re-make is a well-worthy addition to the zombie genre, and is most worthy of a place in the movie collection right next to the original 1968 version.

So the only thing left to say is: "They're us. We're them and they're us."

Wanting to re-visit the genre he created, George Romero approached Tom Savini to direct a remake of his 1968 masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead.

While the film follows the original closely, it does have some important changes. Notably the character of Barbara is no longer a gibbering vegetable but now much more balanced. Other changes help blend the film much better into Romeros Dawn and Day. The use of tools by the zombies for example, is lessened and removed at times, creating more continuity between Night, Dawn, Day and Lands time-line of the undeads abilities.

Some seem to automatically shoot down the remake in favor of the original, I've watched this version almost as many times as Dawn and Day, and believe the film tops the original in almost every way.

Although the groundbreaking nature of the original will always remain, Savini's Dead is a without doubt a classic Zombie flick and in my opinion a perfect first chapter in the Romero Dead series.

Night Of The Living Dead is a 1990 horror film about a group of strangers who are forced to take refuge in an old farmhouse after the dead come back to life and attempt to eat them.

I know most horror fans will definitely prefer George A. Romero's 1968 original Night of the Living Dead, but I feel like Tom Savini's remake deserves more love than it gets. Being the special makeup effects genius that he is there was no shortage in the gore department, and the cast did a great job with all their performances. Although I think the original is good and a remake was probably not necessary, I personally always liked this one better.

If you're a fan of Romero, Savini, or zombies in general and haven't seen this one or the original, I would definitely recommend checking them out.

I'm usually opposed to remakes of classic movies. While the remake did not have the groundbreaking impact of the original, The Night Of The Living Dead 90' is a damn good film for the genre and one of the 1st zombie movies I saw( along with Dawn Of The Dead and Return Of The Living Dead) on cable as a teenager. Tom Savini does a fine job in his directorial debut and was overseen by George Romero as writer and producer. This is not the gorefest that fans have come to expect as a lot of it was left on the cutting room floor by the MPAA to get an R rating. Even without it, it's a good horror film with great atmosphere and score and tension. Patricia Tallman was excellent as the leading lady Barbara and was approached differently than the Barbara in the original film. Also impressive was Tony Todd as Ben in a pre Candyman role. The support cast was very good as well with horror icons Tom Toyles and Bill Mosely giving memorable performances as well. This was a good remake that introduced Romero zombies to a generation (my generation). Night Of The Living Dead 90' is a nice companion piece to the original black and white film and is much better than a lot of less effective zombie horror that recieves more fanfare.

"This is pure hell on earth." Actually, what Tony Todd meant to say was "This is one hell of a movie." Tom Savini and George A. Romero have succeeded in recreated a classic (which is quite hard to do). Night of the Living Dead '90 is faithful to the original, but still manages to scare and surprise you by throwing in a few unexpected twists. Director Savini creates a great atmosphere. This is one of my favorite claustrophobic films. It has the feel of an old, secluded farmhouse, and thankfully lacks that Hollywood gloss. The characters feel real as well. The cast is perfect. Tony Todd, William Butler, and Tom Towles are the re-incarnations of the original Ben, Tommy, and Harry Cooper. And longtime Romero collaborator, Patricia Tallman, revamps her character Barbara for the nineties. And you gotta love Bill Moseley ("They're coming to get you Barbara. They're horny Barbara."). All of the classic elements (the feud between Ben and Cooper, the claustrophobia) and a few new ones (a smarter female lead, new ending) make this one unforgettable.

This movie is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name. In essence, the dead come back to life and seven people take shelter in a farmhouse somewhere in western Pennsylvania. Once inside the people disagree on their next course of action. One wants to fight them off by fortifying the house and waiting for help to arrive. Another wants to retreat to the basement and hide. Yet another wants to make a run for it. Now, rather than say which person is right, I will refrain so that it won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it. I will say, however, that the differences between the original version and this one were rather stark. For instance, the original was filmed in black and white and when it was released shocked the nation. The remake, on the other hand, had some improvements but wasn't nearly as impressive. For example, the original character of "Barbra" (played by Judith O'Dea) was in a state of shock and hysteria which added greatly to the suspense of the film. The new and improved "Barbara" (Patricia Tallman) was sleeker, more capable and less catatonic which added more versatility to the storyline. However, it seemed to lessen the effect. Likewise, the other characters seemed more polished but less effective as well. Now, that is not to say that there was anything wrong with the acting abilities of any of the characters as all of them were adequate. If anything, I thought Patricia Tallman performed quite well in her enhanced role. In short, this was a pretty good zombie movie. But even so, the original version was much more horrific.

The dead come back to eat the flesh of the living. A small group of people are holed up in a farmhouse. They have to fight the dead from getting in...and each other.

There was no reason (that I can see) to remake the 1968 classic "Night..." but George Romero (director and co-writer of the original) wanted it. He scripted it and got makeup artist Tom Savini to direct. The results are OK. It could have been a disaster but wasn't. It's not a scene by scene remake but it does have some of the original dialogue. Still it makes some pretty extreme changes.

Barbara in the first movie was little more than a basket case. Here she is strong and intelligent and can hold her own. It's never really explained how she became such a crack shot though. Tony Todd is a good actor--but not here. He has the unenviable job of playing the part that Duane Jones played so well in the original. He is good...but not enough. The other actors are all pretty OK--the same as the originals were.

There are some cute visual and verbal references to the first film and the gore has been upped drastically (though not as much as it could have been). There is also an eerie and very effective music score throughout the movie. I found this a little slow but that's because I've seen the first multiple times in the past. And this one tacks on a screamingly obvious "ironic" finale.

It's OK--but the original is still the best. I give it a 7.

Director Tom Savini remakes the iconic George A. Romero original. There are some significant changes that makes it a more action packed logical construct. It's no longer the moody black and white '68 indie with odd shooting angles. This one is much more straight forward.

The actors are pretty good. The biggest name at the time has to be Tony Todd. Also this is Katie Finneran's first film. And Tom Towles is quite effective as the obnoxious dad. But it's Patricia Tallman that's the big discovery. She's got the great look, the force of will and the physicality to drive the movie and compete without being overshadowed by Tony Todd.

I watched this movie as a kid in the 90's and it was scary. I am 33 now and I still love this movie. It is one of the very best zombie movies.

The locations and actors are the best part. The actors are all memorable. Seeing the zombies shuffling around outside at night is creepy.

The ending was awesome. To me, this movie is better than the original Night of The Living Dead. Everything about this 90's remake is memorable. It also has creepy music.

As far as zombie movies go, this is one of the very best.

Night of the Living Dead is a horror film directed by Tom Savini and starring Tony Todd, Patricia Tallman, and Late Tom Towles. It is a remake of 1968 horror film of the same title.

I haven't seen the 1968 movie so i would review the movie without comparison of it's previous one and would be purely on the performance of the movie.

The plot of the movie is nice and execution is decent, there are some of the great scenes and will surely scare some of the viewers, the screenplay of the movie is great and will keep you engaged through out.

Acting is decent and Tony Todd was the best of them all, Patricia Tallman was also decent but she might irritate few viewers in few of the scenes, Late Towles was also amazing.

The climax of the movie is great, the best pat of the movie is that the movie is scary and humorous in some of the scenes. If you like Zombie Movies or horror movies this is a decent movie to watch.

Loving zombie good films i hate so much this stuff, i don't know how Romero was involved in this or why Savini went into directing. The first 15 minutes are a constant scream of the girl who later becomes Rambo, the dialogs are so bad you wouldn't believe it, the dummies are laughable, i don't understand why this film looks done in the 60's more than the original. A total senseless action and ending, losing all the good things from the original, they spent half of the film putting light nails on the windows like crazy, oh god i better stop here.

These are the films that dishonor zombie genre. Impossible to do it worse.

Make-up maestro Tom Savini's color remake of Romero's 1968 classic follows the original almost shot-by-shot,but it's of course not better film.This remake was clearly made for younger viewers who refuse to watch black-and-white films,no matter how good they may be.The result is passable,but it lacks dark atmosphere and mood of the original.If this version has anything to offer,it is Patricia Tallman("Army of Darkness")in an engaging lead performance as a tough,independent heroine.This is only my opinion,but I'm really fed up with "strong female lead" concept that every new horror film seems to have.The next thing I dislike in this picture is the lack of gore.For God's sake this film was directed by gore wizard Tom Savini-the man behind such hard-core splatter flicks like "Maniac","Nightmare" or "The Prowler".The violence is very tame-even by today's standards.However the acting isn't bad,the zombies are pretty scary and the film is never boring.Recommended for horror buffs all around the world.

When siblings Barbra (Patricia Tallman) and Johnny (Bill Moseley) visiting their father's grave are set upon by a viscous disheveled man, Johnny is killed and Barbra is forced to flee for shelter in a nearby farmhouse. Barbra, still shaken from the shock of seeing her brother killed is eventually joined by Ben (Tony Todd) and the two take measures to fortify their farmhouse hideaway as more flesh eating ghouls bear down on them. As the two find other survivors in the house they must navigate the hazards of the living dead as well as their own interpersonal friction if they are to survive the night.

Night of the Living Dead is the 1990 remake of George A. Romero's 1968 influential horror film of the same name. While the film had done extraordinary business upon release, failure to provide a copyright notice as well as legal battles with the distributor ended resulting in Romero and the producers seeing very little profit from the film. In 1986 Romero had secured a new copyright for Night of the Living Dead and brought the film to Menahem Golan's 21st Century Film Corporation after hearing Golan was interested in a remake and wanting to produce one before other opportunistic producers could produce an unofficial version (as had been the case with the various Italian "Zombi" films). Tom Savini was brought on for the special effects, but was eventually convinced by Romero to direct. Tom Savini described the experience as "the worst nightmare of my life" and clashed with producers when Romero was not on set with Savini only taking credit for 40% of what's in the movie. Upon release critical reception wasn't kind with many critics feeling the remake was unneeded or "a case of cinematic grave robbing" in Variety's case. The film was also a box office failure opening at 6th place and being pulled from theaters after two weeks making only $5.8 million against its $4.2 million budget. In the time since its underperformance, the 1990 remake has undergone some re-evaluation and is seen by many as a respectable remake of the classic 1968 film. While it's not the genre defining work the original film is, it's a solid update that tells the same story but with changes to account for advancements in filmmaking techniques and cultural attitudes.

While the filmmaking and resources for this version of Night of the Living Dead are more plentiful and polished this time around, the film is still very much an isolated limited location chamber piece with committed performances giving their own take on the characters of the original. Tony Todd is a worthy successor for Duane Jones in the role of Ben and anyone who has seen Todd's roles as the mortuary attendant in Final Destination or Candyman in the eponymous Clive Barker series knows Todd typically plays darker edged more sinister characters. While Todd does have that edge to his performance as Ben, he's still very much an everyman and is the smartest most rational person in the room as he was in the 1968 original. Other performances such as Tom Towles as the confrontational Harry Cooper or William Buter as the "in over his head" Tom are pretty similar to the roles they played the first time around, but they're also introduced a lot sooner here so they're given more opportunity to make an impression. By far the biggest change is in Patricia Tallman's character Barbara who in the original was played by Judith O'Dea, and this is where the movie really earns its status as one of the better remakes. If you recall Barbara's character in the original film, she spent a good chunk of the movie in a semi catatonic state before eventually being eaten by the ghouls. While Barbara does act in a state of shock for the first act of this movie once she meets up with Ben she taps into her survival instincts including taking down a re-animated corpse and takes on a more hardened "battle ready" approach as the story goes on. While Barbara is expanded and refined greatly in the film, she acts more as a co-lead along with Todd's Ben so it feels like it's complimentary instead of acting as a substitute.

There are of course some issues we see in the film. Some of the dialogue is a little clunky with Harry Cooper's lines of calling the other members of the group "a bunch of Yo-Yos" feeling rather forced and given the freedom afforded by an R rating you probably could've made that character sound a bit more natural by including some expletives instead of something that feels like a substitute for expletives. The movie (mostly) keeps the original film's bleak ending, but it does feel the need to more directly comment on it rather than letting it play out and be shown which isn't overly intrusive but it's one of the changes from the original I'm not certain is for the better.

Night of the Living Dead is a respectable remake of a classic genre defining film that doesn't eclipse the original but is well made and does enough new to justify its own existence with some welcome updates that work well. While some parts of the movie feel like they could've used some additional finetuning, it's a solid and worthwhile companion piece to the original.
