A Zombie Lovers Delight
By the time you get to reading this review, I'm assuming you've already read several of the others. If not, do so before finishing mine. I'll go scrub the toilet while I wait for you.Alright, now that you have all the specifics, here's what I think about this version: It's is a bigger budget version of the ground breaking '68 Latent Image production. The story's the same, but the details are all changed up, so it's not completely predictable, for those who've memorizes the original. It's not high art, but it's lots of fun. It's also in color and the make up and gore effects are more stimulating for audiences who can't tolerate old school black and white movies. It also kind of hangs better with all of Romero's zombie sequels.I can't imagine what those who gave it bad reviews were expecting, but I suspect they wanted more than what 99% of every zombie movie has ever delivered. C'mon, it has zombies, gore, a decent story, character conflict and a hot nerd chick, or two, for God's sake!I'm giving it 4 stars because I believe it succeeds as an update and tribute to one of the most influential horror films ever. If it had more significant female nudity, I'd give it the full 5 stars.
