Featured reviews
I suggest you go rent the original Night of the Living Dead, or either version of Dawn of the Dead, or Return of the Living Dead or 28 Days Later. These are the zombie movies that will stand the test of time.
Yes, they added nudity but was that remotely necessary?
The ending was also very weak with Barb just standing there even though she was holding a gun and could have run. They had a perfectly good movie from which to base this movie on and they still managed to botch it up. I really do wonder about all these direct-to-DVD horror movies that have no reasons for being made and can only trick people into buying because there are no reviews.
I do not like remakes, but every now and then I see good ones. I bought this "previously-seen" DVD in a rental expecting to watch a good remake of the George Romero's greatest classic. My first deception was in the beginning of the movie, indicating that it would be necessary a pair of glasses to see in 3D that was not delivered with the DVD. After watching this movie, I realized that it is an offense to the original "Night of the Living Dead". The insulting story is absolutely stupid, with terrible dialogs, unnecessary nudity and a ridiculous conclusion; the direction is awful, with an inadequate pace associated to some weak performances. When the group is trapped in the farmhouse, most of the windows have glasses, and the group never protects with wood or wardrobes or whatever. In the end, better off watching the classic again, and I do not know how George Romero could authorize the release of this crap using his name and the original idea. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "A Noite dos Mortos Vivos 3D" ("The Night of the Living Dead 3D")
On a scale of one to ten, -200 would seem a fair score, but I feel IMDb needs a more quantitative rating system for films that defy rating - The Gigli Scale. The higher a film rates on the Gigli Scale, the more soul-sucking, time and space fabric ripping it is. While only Gigli currently scores a perfect ten on the Gigli Scale, Night of the Living Dead 3D certainly is a worthy contender to dethroning the current world champion of suck.
I think the producers realized that they had a crap script so they tried to save it by making the film 3D. The 3D does absolutely nothing for this film. The story is ridiculous and goes no where, The acting is miserable with the exception of Sid Haig, and there wasn't even one memorable scene in the entire film. The only reason it doesn't get a 1/10 is because of Sid Haig.
Don't see this movie. It's not worth your time or your attention. If you've blind bought it, do yourself a favor and throw it away without watching it.

- TriviaDirector Jeff Broadstreet wrote the Gerald Tovar, Jr. part specifically for Sid Haig. He didn't let him in on this fact until after filming wrapped.
- GoofsWhen Sid Haig's character enters Henry's house, Henry appears to be fine, despite just being bitten by his daughter. In the very next shot he has bandages over his neck which were not in the shot before.
- Quotes
Henry Cooper: This is not happening. These are not fucking walking corpses.
Ben: Hey man, this is fucking happening.
Barb: Call the freaking cops.
Hellie Cooper: We have to baby.
Henry Cooper: Yeah, call the cops. When the dead walk, you gotta call the cops.
- Crazy creditsThe background for the end credits is the same b&w version of the road from the original Night of the Living Dead that is shown at the beginning. Except that as the credits are rolling to an end, what seems to be the first zombie from the original appears, getting closer and closer to the foreground. At the very last instant, an image of the present film's heroine, looking scared, flashes on screen in the foreground.
