Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2005)

If you're a fan of the genre, this is definitely worth a look. And, keep your eyes peeled for Ken Foree (as the televangelist), who starred in the original '76 movie of the same name...while you're at it, check out Tom Savini (horror make-up/special effects man extraordinaire) as the sheriff! Same plot as the 1st one, but different ending, and much better special effects/make-up than way back in the olden days of the first. Also, Ving Rhames is nothing' to sneeze at, either, and pulls off a great 'bruiser with a heart of gold' act. Although there were some predictable parts, the acting and the tech aspects of the film worked very well, and presented an excellent new-millennium perspective.
Eat your heart out, Romero!
