Night of the Living Dead

Shockingly poor film. Terrible writing, lighting, sound, and as for the acting. O...M...G. I want my 79 minutes back.

Unfortunately, a long-standing grave mistake with the original Night of the Living Dead was the accidental failure to copyright the prints, thus putting the film into public domain to be remade. Fortunately, it took quite a long while before people used this as an excuse to churn out things to the general public so horrible that no one should want to see them. But it seems that beginning with the 2006 3D remake, the Night of the Living Dead story is going to become a piñata for terrible "filmmakers" everywhere to ruin.

*This* particular "film" takes that idea and doesn't just destroy the story, it runs it into the ground with poor directing, acting, writing, editing, sound mixing, etc. Now I have nothing against an amateur film company that wants to make a name for themselves by experimenting, growing, and eventually satisfying movie-watching audiences by the dozens(maybe hundreds if they can put up something that can hold with great indie-classics that never got mainstream attention they deserved). However, this film shows such disrespect for George Romero's masterpiece that everyone involved owes a written apology to everyone involved with the original, starting with Romero. They have taken a horror icon's beautifully flawed masterpiece and turned it into a steaming pile of... yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Then even further than insulting the original and it's team, people involved with this film have taken it upon themselves to write positive reviews for the film on IMDb and rate it fairly high in order to promote it as something worth watching, no, worth PAYING to watch. That should count as theft with how horrible this film is, and I am incredibly happy that I did not pay to see it. And not only do they insult the original, they insult the noble remake in 1990.

Everyone knows the Tom Savini version from 1990 was an amazing effort to add something new to the original while staying true to the spirit, the ideas, even the flaws of the original. Whether people genuinely liked it or not, it held its own as something that at least had the utmost respect for it's source material.

I sincerely hope the people responsible for this remake are not benefiting(or even making their budget back) with any amount of money. Everything they do make from selling this should be doubled from their pockets, refunded to the movie-watchers they ripped off and sent to Romero himself.

Avoid at all costs. And if you find a copy lying around somewhere, burn it.

I watched it online out of curiocity as there is no DVD available yet and i was glad that there was no DVD so i saved money and watched it for free online.

1) this was exactly the same as the original only it failed in every way.

the actors acted badly the music was newtral and the movie had none of the magic the original had.

2) Really when u have seen the original u have seen it all and try to make another one trying to do it like the original was done it makes no sense.

romero did a little miracle back then.

this is not easy task and i don't think anyone can make a remake as good as the 1968 original was.

Even the great savini 1990 remake was very good but still nowhere near the original and that remake was the only really worth remake to own together with the original....(1998 version is not essentially a remake)

3) this amateur effort is not worth it and is as bad as the latest NOTLD Resurrection movie was and as bad as mimesis movie also was.

Even the mediorce 2006 3-d remake was better than this crap which just tried to use the original's formula but failed in every aspect.

Conclusion

So avoid it and let's hope the new announced sequel to the romero dead movies will resurrect the franchise to it's former heights.

we don't need those cheap and bad imitators.

we want the real thing.

Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. When will 'filmmakers' with no talent, no original ideas and little to no acting experience give it up? STOP REMAKING NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! All you do is piss off the fans and embarrass yourselves. I know that it takes very little to make a zombie movie (which is why there are so many damned bad ones out there), but how about at least trying to come up with an original idea? I hope this never gets released on DVD because some poor deluded fool will end up paying for it!

Non existent special effects and not entertaining must mean by all the rave reviews that the new generation has to make one of their own liking and will swear allegiance to it's success. Ridiculously bad, start to finish. Oh sorry, the stream at the end did a good job of portraying a stream that is true, I give 2 stars for that. Ten lines of text require that I waste more time in addition to the time already wasted watching this flop of a low budget remake. Any so called interesting twists were far out shined by the horrible stiff acting and character development. Just stick to video games if you're not going to make an enjoyable escape from reality. ten lines.
