Product: Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Rating: 5.0
Almost shot-for-shot but still Excellent
This movie had a lot great things going for it before I ever watched it. Horror master Tom Savini helmed this remake. Beside his years of horror experience, he had first-hand knowledge of the original and paid respect in his remake. Second, horror alum Tony Todd was leading this ensemble cast. The dude has a commanding onscreen presence. Since Savini was directing, he probably couldn't handle doubling as special effects director, so he delegated the chore to his team. Now, the original is great, but the effects are where this movie really shines! The gore effects are awesome and had come so far for its time. Now, we got all that CGI digital crap that is so obviously fake onscreen. This movie will satisfy the gore-hound in you!
