This is the 1990 remake of the George A. Romero cult zombie classic. I would have to say that this is one of the best horror movie remakes ever as far as accuracy with the original goes. There are plenty of other remakes that are amazing but when you put them up side by side with the originals there are major differences usually for the better though. With this remake they pretty much used they exact same script of the original film, with a few minor tweaks of course, and made it so much better with modern technology to make the zombies more realistic and gruesome, which is always a good thing. There is not very much star power in the movie but there are a couple familar faces, mostly becoming more well known in later years after this film. One of the main characters is played by actor Tony Todd who made a name for himself in the world of horror movies as the hook handed Candyman, and very briefly at the beginning of the movie we see Bill Moseley playing the character Barbara's brother Johnny. Some of you may know Moseley from his role in Rob Zombie's films House of 1000 Corpses and the Devil's Rejects as the character Otis. All in all i would rate this movie as a very grade A horror flick, and definitely a must watch for and horror fan especially if you are a Romero or just a plan fan of zombie movies.
My Personal Rating: 9/10
A very well made movie for its time and genre, though there are a few small errors in the special effects where you can tell its fake. The most dominant display of this is near the beginning when Barbara is being attacked in her car at the grave yard, one of the zombies has the autopsy Y cut and you can tell he is wearing a rubber shirt. That is pretty much my only gripe with the entire movie.
