"Their us and we're them."-BarbaraForget everything you remember about the original, this time there are little to no rules and the odds have changed. Barbara is much stronger and the story is a thrill a minute, that will keep you on the edge of your sit until the most unexpected finale. |
The Night is just beginning... |

MY REVIEWLet me first say, I saw this one after I saw the original and that both are equal, hence my score but this time the storyline. Which Romero has rewritten and touched up, making it surpass the original with another thrill packed ending.
This remake, done perfectly by Tom Savini, who did the special make-up effects in DAWN and DAY makes this movie worth the viewing. Though certain things have changed, this movie was the ultimate remake, although Savini was cut short of what he wanted in the final cut of the film.
RATING-4 STARS

Quotes from Night of the Living Dead:
Barbara: They're us. We're them and they're us.
Ben: You're boss down there. I'm boss up here.
Harry: You can't get any reception in the basement, dickhead.
Barbara: That's another one for the fire.
Ben: This is something no one's ever heard about, and no one's ever seen before. This is hell on earth.
Ben: You know what, Cooper, I've only been around you a minute or two, but that's enough time for me to decide that I don't like you very much.
Ben: Cooper, I've got a shotgun out here. Open this door, you motherfucker, or I swear to God I'll blow it to shit.
Harry: A way out is a way in.
Ben: You are losing it girl, you are losing it.
Barbara: You think so?
Barbara shoots an approaching zombie in the face
Barbara: Whatever I lost, I lost a long time ago and I do not plan on losing anything else. You can talk to me about losing it when you stop screaming at each other like a bunch of two-year-olds.
Commenting on the zombies approaching the house
Barbara: They're so slow. We could just walk right past 'em and we wouldn't even have to run. We could just walk right past 'em. We have the guns. If we're careful we could get away.
She looks at Ben
Barbara: You told me to fight, well I'm fighting, this place is not safe, not upstairs or down. We should leave before it's too late.
Trivia about Night of the Living Dead:
- The nameplate on the house indicates an "M. Celeste." According to Tom Savini's commentary on the DVD, that's a direct reference to the "Mary Celeste", a ship that was discovered adrift at sea with the passengers and crew missing.
- Bill Cardille appears as a reporter in both the 1969 version and the remake.
- The scene where Barbara shoots the black man in the chest and then finally in the head wan not originally going to be in the film.
