Absolutely amazing
This not only is an amazing remake, but they change just enough for it to be a great movie to stand on its own two legs.Without giving too much away, I will say that the acting is top notch. Yeah, a few times it gets hokey...Judy Rose won't shutup...but then again, if you were being attacked by zombies wouldn't you freak the hell out?Basically, this is the movie that made me realize that good horror movies are nothing more than dramas with more blood and guts. The writing and acting provided great tension, and the direction (Savini's debut) was nothing spectacular, but then again, we didn't need matrix style effects for the movie to be effective.One of the charms of this movie is its simplicity. The story is simple and the goal is even simpler...to survive. But when the dead come back to life, and you can't believe your own eyes...it turns out not to be quite that simple.
