Wow.

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2004)

I must admit that I have yet to see the original George A. Romero version, HOWEVER, I do own Night Of The Living Dead (black and white original) on DVD, and love it to pieces. Thus, I think that I'll likely enjoy the original of THIS film as well. I shall try to find that somewhere. Anyways, lets get back to breastax (as Madeline Kaun would say) and talk about this version. I thought the effects were very well done, and its realism is what really makes this stand out amongst competitors. It's just so amazing that they can take a plot that's so out-of-this-world and make it believable. This isn't to state that its plot is not predictable at times, but unlike lets say... The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, it doesn't get overly trying with predictability. No, this film becomes exciting and original for its realism and also for its moments that catch you off guard. Without ruining anything I'll just say there's one such moment near the end where I was shocked by an incredible mishap.
For these reasons I rate this film: WOW. And for those that prefer *'s I'll give it...
***1/2 out of 4, docking only on missing some opportunities to make us jump right out of our seats.
