I know this is blasphemous before I say it, but I like this better than the original. There are several reasons, first being that Tom Savini finally got to work on Night of the Living dead since he didn’t get to in 1968 because of Vietnam. Second it has a far superior…

adamboltOct 29, 2018This basically had me with its revision of the Barbara character (hard not to love the bit where she puts on some pants), which pays off perfectly with a spin on the original's indelible closing moments. Savini does a terrific job emulating Romero's camerawork and cutting.…

I don’t think anything compares to George’s earth shattering 1968 monolith (few things do) but this is one of those tapped off cable movies that I’d watch over and over again during the 90’s and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since. I think its a great remake that still…
Ian WestDec 9, 2024as far as horror remakes go, it’s surprisingly competent and honourable, but in saying that, it’s still quite literally the original film without Romero’s direction and the undeniably horrifying black & white photography (so worse).
SethsreviewsOct 22, 2023For most of my life, this remake has been treated as a disposable oddity, but recently I've been hearing rumblings of a reclamation, so I decided to give it another spin, and I was surprised at how well it works on its own terms. Basically designed by the original's…

“They’re coming to get you, Barbara!” Hold on there, Johnny. It won’t be so easy with THIS Barbara. Let me come right out and say it. This 1990 remake is better than the original in almost every way. Better actors, better effects, it’s in color, and the script feels…
Digital PressMar 23, 2025Doesn’t take long for the world to fall apart, does it? I’ve never understood the hate for this movie. The original is one of my favorites films of all time and this not the original, but it’s still a great horror flick. Tom Savini stayed true to the story while also…

- Superbad is "meh" onNight of the Living Dead
Tony todd carried this movie
Orlando Ramone likedNight of the Living DeadAnother great remake but I still prefer the original. George A. Romero co-wrote and produced this one, but it was directed by the great Tom Savini (special FX genius). I recommend this one if you don’t like black and white movies.
CvptvinHowdy likedNight of the Living DeadI haven't seen this since VHS days, and it's one of the few movies that scared me back then. It's still a pretty good remake. If I ever want to watch this again, I'd rather throw on the original classic.
- Izaak Whisler is "meh" onNight of the Living Dead
Remakes rarely hold a candle to their source material but I haven’t seen many that mimic the original nearly beat for beat while somehow being more dull that the twenty two year old film it is based on.
Nathaniel Lutz lovedNight of the Living DeadI understand the impact of the original for multiple reasons but I absolutely loved this remake more than the original. The best part is they made Barbara a badass!
Xavier Davis likedNight of the Living DeadThe best remake. a great watch, obviously the original is better but if you don’t want to faff around with black and white this is a fun and faithful remake

Jeremy Smith lovedNight of the Living DeadGreat reboot of a classic. If you can't get into the original due to it being in black and white, this one is very true to the original.
Angie Lankford lovedNight of the Living DeadHonestly, I liked this one far more than the original B&W offering. Better cast, better effects, just better all the way around.👍🏻👍🏻
Scranton Strangler likedNight of the Living DeadA very good remake and doesmt stray from the og. Also liked the tony todd casting.

The remake is so close to the original that there is no reason to see both, unless you want to prove to yourself that black and white photography is indeed more effective than color for this material.

[A] witty, entertaining remake.
