| Movie Description Seven people are trapped in an isolated farmhouse and living an unspeakable nightmare. Cannibalistic zombies have been awakened from the dead and are on a relentless killing and eating binge. Re-make of the 1968 George Romero classic.
Notes Color by TVC. Filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Began shooting April 23, 1990; completed shooting June 8, 1990. Released in the USA October 19, 1990. Released on video April 17, 1991. A remake of George A. Romero's 1968 horror classic. Shot in black and white on a shoestring budget of $130,000, the original "Night of the Living Dead," with its nihilistic tone, realistic, near-documentary style and subtle social commentary, broke new ground in the horror genre. It became a cult hit and has had an influence on all subsequent horror films. Romero followed his 1968 success with two sequels, the critically acclaimed "Dawn of the Dead" in 1979 and "Day of the Dead" in 1985. While the original version is still successful, Romero was forced to do a remake because of a rights loophole in the original contract. The original producers had to do a sequel at that point or someone else would have been able to do it instead. Feature film directorial debut for Tom Savini. Savini got his start as an actor, stuntman, and director on the TV show "Tales From the Darkside." He was also the special makeup effects artist on both "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead," as well as other horror films such as "Friday the 13th." According to Savini, "[George Romero] had in mind that so many people knew the original story that they could be manipulated...When you expect something to happen and it doesn't, there's that element of surprise. From that second on you don't know what to expect, which makes this film scary to those who have seen the original as well as to those who will be seeing it for the first time.", DVD Features: Region 1 Keep Case Full Frame - 1.33 Additional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Top Reviews  The Mother of all Zombie moviesReview created: 08/09/07 by:  6 of 7 people found this review helpful. This is a true classic in horror . As a kid this low budget black and white move scared the crap out of me. Today it’s tame compared to today’s bloody .orgies of death. The difference is the mood and the story telling. The starkness of the black and white film creates a feeling that color can’t. This movie is the Godfather of all Zombies Movies. That is why nearly all zombie film after have drawn from it. Scary does not need to be knee deep in bright red fake blood. Black and white is scaryer Review ID: 10000000004184141 Was this review helpful? Report this review A Classic from a classic!!Review created: 08/02/07 by: 5 of 6 people found this review helpful. I absolutely loved the revised version as it stays close to the original with enough changes and twists with the charecters to make it fresh! I was very pleased with this one and rank it 2nd after the original classic. My third choice may surprise you as it is the new version of the Dawn of the Dead (even though the zombies moved unrealistically fast not that zombies are realistic but if they were they would be slow! ! The old version of Dawn of the Dead and the Day of the Dead were steps down in my opinion!! Thanks for reading! Review ID: 10000000004087260 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
