TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Eric Stevenson It's a shame such awful films are easy to find. As a huge fan of the Living Dead films and the zombie genre in general, I was vastly disappointed to find this remake so awful. Well, is it even really a remake? It's definitely this in name only. In fact, it even mentions the original movie or features clips from it or something. They mention a similar incident in 1968, so I guess this was instead meant to be an unofficial sequel to the original movie? I thought it would just be a cheesy remake, but it was much, much worse. It was just nothing happening for most of the movie with horrible effects and awful pacing.I guess "Zombie Nation" is still a worse movie as it's even more boring. This of course deserves mention as one of the worst horror movies ever made. I was amazed at awful everything looked. I didn't get a chance to see this in 3D and it's easy to tell it was supposed to be like that. A lot of things just seemed to jut out at me. I'm not into 3D, but wouldn't have bothered watching this in any version really. There was some pretty bad looking CGI in this. This movie features a guy who's a mortician and zombies appear and that's about it. They barely focus on the zombies at all. The original "Night Of The Living Dead" movie was hokey, but it was also original and helped define films in general.This film has really clumsy satire too. It features a parody of Fox News called Fixd News. Hey, that's not funny! Sarah Palin even appears and gets turned into a zombie. I don't see the joke in this. From what I recall back in 2012 when this movie was made, she wasn't a big deal. That was the election before this time. I think someone is turned into a zombie at the very end, but I don't even know. There's a scene where a cadaver comes to life but that might have just been a drug hallucination. This looks more like a low quality movie filmed for the Internet. It's lacking anything special and is an embarrassment to zombie fiction everywhere. *
Diane Ruth Director Jim Broadstreet has blown new life into the zombie film with this original and truly inspired horror film. Placing the original action in a mortuary is nothing less than brilliant and intensifies the terror exponentially. The special effects and make-up work are extraordinary and the technicians responsible have broken new ground for the genre. While the blood and gore can be overwhelming at times, it never is used gratuitously but is a legitimately shocking plot furtherance. At times, the breathtaking horror can be overwhelming and simply too much to endure but this remains one of the finest zombie films produced since Romero's original masterpiece.
trashgang With a title like this what could probably go wrong? And with two horror icons as main lead what can go wrong? What a great title, Night Of The Living Dead surely will attract horror and zombie geeks. And face it, Re-animator also is a big teaser. This is great.Sadly the title is the only thing that is great. The acting by Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster) and Jeffrey Combs (Re-animator) was for me okay but the script itself had nothing to offer. There are here and there a few killings that are nice to see like the bashing of a head but most of the effects are pure cheap CGI. Just see for example one zombie being hit with acid, how stupid that CGI effect was. But it is really the story itself, there's too much of talking and there isn't anything happening. The zombies itself did look great in the beginning and looked gory and nasty but once the horde comes alive in the cellar it's as stupid as it good be. No effects or make-up. They did add some funny notes towards the geeks with referring to the Pittsburg outbreak in 1968 and the Romero zombies in the cellar.On the other hand the scene were they are tripping do offers some necrophilia by Dyeanne (Robin Sydney) but again it is really a let down. I knew Robin from Wicked Lake (2008) and there she shows that she isn't afraid to show some flesh but here it's just a underwear girl sitting a top a zombie. Jeff Broadstreet, the director, should have known better with already one NOTLD remake on his list, the 3D flop with Sid Haig. It is really weird with those two icons that they couldn't save this terrible flick, even familiar faces like Sarah Lieving (Cristie Forest) and Robin Sydney couldn't add anything towards this turkey. Still, it will sell due the icons and due the title but be warned that when you see Jeff's name on the list to leave it as it is. This is a perfect example how a title can sell a bad flick.Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
suzishuz75 Just finished watching this: "NOTLD 3D RA". Agree with All of the 6 Reviewers before me, on a number of points (won't repeat them).My impression of this Zombie Story is Different; will try to explain.Reason it was so 'slow' getting to Zombie Action, is: I (think) the people who MADE this, wanted to Set the Story for- MORE Sequels (I could be wrong).Since the Original Zombie Movie: "Night Of The Living Dead" (1968)- there have been an Endless Stream of ZOMBIE Films. Some very Good, and some sucked; some funny, etc.All Zombie Fans KNOW the 'facts' of Zombies: (destroy the brain to KILL them, etc.) Most Zombies are the 'Romero' Ones (slow); a few films had real FAST ones. IF you want to see a lot of Zombie Action, then watch: "The Horde", or "Dead Set", because this movie will probably disappoint you.Special effects (zombie make up, etc), IMO was excellent; (even the Flies in the Morgue Room), added a Realistic Touch.Lastly- 88 Minutes, No shaky Camera, NOT shot in Darkness, and you can actually SEE what is happening.
