Product: Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Rating: 4.0
Good remake of a horror CLASSIC
The original Night of the Living Dead is one of the most popular movies and has developed one of the largest cult followings in the world. While not a part of such a following, I found the original to be extremely entertaining and VERY scary. This 1989 remake is no exception. In some ways, it is almost SCARIER than the original, mainly because the setting is more modern, at least for those of us born in the very early 80's. Scary and nerve-wracking, you will not be disappointed. This movie gets under your skin. A little gross, but not overblown in any way. The cold, late summer/early fall Pennsylvania setting is very atmoshpheric. Not recommended to watch alone! Out of personal experience, I first saw this movie when i was around 9 years old. That was over ten years ago. I was afraid to go outside at night for weeks. Great movie. If you are a horror fan, by all means buy it! But make sure you also invest in the original from 1968. while the remake is ALMOST scarier, the original still stands as one of the scariest movies in horror history.
