I have never really liked remakes of anything, but there has been a few occasions where the remake actually comes out pretty good if not equal to the original.
I hated this film when it first appeared since they were remaking what I consider to be the greatest film ever made. However, over the years I have softened a bit and do have to admit I liked this film when I saw it again just a few days ago.
The characters are a bit different and some of the original plot details have been changed, but this is so the viewer gets a few surprises thrown at them. The zombie make-up is very good and so is a lot of the acting. My only major complaint is that there is too much screaming, but then I guess that would be the case in real life as well.
Tom Savini directed and proves he has the ability to do so. The cast includes Tony Todd as Ben, Patricia Tallman as Barbara, Tom Towels as Harry Cooper and McKee Anderson as his wife Helen.
George Romero co-produced this film and everything turns out pretty good, and it can't hold a candle to the original, but it has a lot of entertainment value going for it.
