"They're coming to get you Barbara..."
Gorehound Tom Savini remade George Romero's classic 1968 movie with some good results. Patricia Tallman plays Barbara, and this time she's not a scared fruitcake like in the original, she's a female Rambo reminiscent of Ripley of the Alien movies and Sarah Connor of the Terminator series. Tony Todd (the Candyman himself), plays Ben, and plays him very well. Now for the real stars; the zombies! The makeup is pretty well done, but surprising to me, its not gory at all, but it is effective in keeping a creepy atmosphere. All in all, this is a good remake that is on par with the original, and I suggest seeing both versions so you can decide which one you like better.
