Product Description

Product Description

Celebrated special-effects artist Tom Savini ('Friday the 13th') directs this remake of George A. Romero's horror classic. The story is the same - a group of strangers fight for survival when they are trapped together in farmhouse surrounded by an army of flesh-eating zombies - but the effects are much more gruesome.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot bad for a remake but I prefer the 1968 version
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 24 April 2010
Format: DVD
This 1990 remake of George A. Romero's classic 1968 horror film isn't bad at all (as far as remakes go). This version was written by Romero (he was also co-executive producer) but directed by Tom Savini. The good cast features Babylon 5's Patricia Tallman (who at 5' 9" is quite a tall woman), Candyman's Tony Todd, Tom Towles, from Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer and Bill Mosley from House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects.

On the whole, this remake sticks pretty close to Romero's original film but the opening scene where Barbara and Johnnie encounter Zombies in the cemetery is slightly different, the ending has been changed and does not pack as big a wallop as the original and some other aspects are a bit different. The main difference of course is that the 1968 film was filmed in black and white (although it was reissued in an awful computer-colourised version) whereas this 1990 version is in colour.

Quite a few 1960s horror films that could have been filmed in colour were filmed in black and white instead in order to achieve a certain look and create a creepy atmosphere. Prime examples of this are Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", Mario Bava's "The Mask Of Satan", Robert Wise's "The Haunting" and, of course, George A. Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead". I must say that the 1968 version of "NOTLD" is much creepier than the 1990 version largely because of the way it was filmed - the eerie black and white photography really adds to the overall effect and creates the right sort of mood for this type of film.

If you have not seen the original film then you will probably enjoy this remake much more than if you have seen it, if you know what I mean.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsHow do you reinvent innovation?
By Mr. J. J. Smith on 30 Nov. 2000
Format: VHS Tape
Tom Savini, famous for being the biker gang leader in Dawn of the Dead and the special effects man behind Friday the 13th (not to mention the guy with a pistol in his pants in From Dusk till Dawn...) bravely attempted to remake a film which defined 60s horror - and he didn't do a bad job. Obviously, someone from an FX background is going to pile on the gore (why not, eh?) but the biggest twist for me in this film was the main character, Barbara. Rather than being a typically 60s feeble heroine, eventually eaten by her undead brother, Patricia Tallman takes her life into her own hands (it seems her time on Star Trek wasn't wasted) and comes out guns blazing - a welcome twist well in with the tradition of Romero's original trilogy and in keeping with the idea that the better horror films get most of their ideas from a contemporary public consensus. It's true, should the dead walk now we'd be much better prepared than we would have 30 years ago; women wouldn't run around screaming for help like Penelope Pitstop, they'd be up there shotguns 'tchk-tchking' right beside us blokes....

4.0 out of 5 starsSavini pays homage to Romero- and it's all in good taste
By Colonel Decker on 13 Aug. 2012
Format: DVD
Long before Michael Bay and Hollywood remakes of literally every horror film known to man, we had this remake from 1990. In general I loathe remakes, but Night of the Living Dead is a rare exception. It's probably due to the fact that at least Romero was heavily involved in the film, with the added bonus that Tom Savini directed.

This remake pretty much follows, almost scene for scene the original with the final twenty minutes or so deviating.
At first I wasn't too sure what I was watching. The original for me at least was pure horror for the first twenty minutes, here this doesn't happen, and yet it's the final moments where the film is genuienly eerie.

Because it's an updated remake you may think that will allow for tons more blood. But if its gore you're looing for you will be very disappointed. There is very little here, but kudos to Savini for this, he character builds instead. The real FX comes in the form of the zombies themselves, which of course look brilliant.

What Savini has carefully done is pay homage to this wonderful film and also has looked after the original makers of the movie by extending copyright and freeing up royalities. This is true as Savini mentions this in the extras.

I'm not sure if this remake if being made now would be any good even if Savini were directing the film. Things and times have changed, for evidence look at how fake CGI still looks, and at how awful Land of the Dead was.

Oh and a mention to Tony Todd, everything he is in is great.

4.0 out of 5 starsA worthwhile remake.
By M. Crossman on 9 Dec. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Tom Savini remakes an absolute classic and just about gets away with it.
I bought this to replace my VHS copy, especially as the recent Blu Ray limited edition was such a botch job.
The story is surely familiar to every horror fan but Savini manages to add a twist or turn on the original which manages to keep this remake reasonably fresh.
Of course this version will never surpass or supplant the original but it's fun to watch another horror icons take on such classic material.
Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot as great as the classic original but still very good.
By Puzzle box on 14 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD
Like most remakes, spin-offs and rip-offs of George A. Romero's original "Dead" trilogy, the 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead" didn't exactly need to be made. Sure, the original pre-dates it by a good 20+ years and audiences are always seemingly thirsty to see a good thing come back from the dead again and again, but as it stands, Romero's seminal zombie opus is still pretty darn perfect. Nevertheless, special effects maestro Tom Savini (who worked with Romero on both "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead") took a stab at the material and with the blessing of Romero himself (who also rewrote the script and served as a producer) set to craft his own take on the undead epic. The plot is exactly as the original - and if you haven't seen the first one, then run out of the house and get it right this second.

Anyhow, zombies immediately confront a brother and sister visiting a dead relative at a funeral. The brother gets whacked and the girl, Barbara (Patricia Tallman), makes it to safe shelter in a house with other survivors. There, they make their last stand. The movie still begins with the famous, "They're coming to get your Barbara," line from her brother.

So Barbara makes it to the house and finds essentially the same cast of characters - the heroic black leader, Ben (Tony Todd of CANDYMAN fame), the Cooper family, Tom and Judy. But there are some key twists, particularly when it comes to Barbara's character. In the original, she was a mousy and terrified woman who could barely get a peep out. Now, she is tough as nails, a sharpshooter and revels in destroying zombies. Don't forget, 1990 was right in the era of the "tough woman" era, a few years after ALIENS.
