Worst Remake Ever
Ingredients for a horrible horror movie remake: horrid acting, terrible dialogue, terrible cinematography, a complete lack of gore, and a complete disrespect for the source material. This remake of 'Night Of The Living Dead' has all of those in spades...plus a ton of really crappy 3-D and oh, Ben isn't black in this one. Ugh. Terrible. Let me start by saying that I love the original and I also really like Tom Savini's 1990 remake, so my opinion may be a bit skewed. But this remake is absolutely horrid.
First off, the acting is the quality of a high school drama class. Everyone in the film is terrible. Even Sid Haig, who is normally great, phones it in. All the characters are unlikeable, especially the "hero" Ben, who is now played by some white emo kid. He's not rough and tough like Duane Jones in the original or world weary like Tony Todd in the 1990 version. White Ben is just there, stumbling through his lines like a confused drama student.
Secondly, the 3-D in the film is pointless and terrible. The film has some decent 3-D shots in the opening graveyard scene but then fails to really do anything with it for the rest of the film. Instead of trying to create depth in the shots, the filmmakers shot the bulk of the film like a regular movie. They make a couple half-hearted attempts, but there is not a single shot that jumps out at you(the slo-mo bullet effect near the end of the film is pathetic). But whatever, I could've dealt with it if it were not for the fact the the 3-D is just bad. With the glasses on, everything is just blurry. And unfortunately, there's no function on the disc that allows you to turn the 3-D off. You get to either watch a blurry film with the glasses off or a blurry film with the glasses on.
Third, I just don't feel that the team behind the film really had any love the source material. I heard an interview with the director, Jeff Broadstreet, a while back on the now defunct 'Pickled Embryo' podcast. He basically said that he's not a horror movie fan nor has he ever made a horror film. He was picked by the financers of the film because in the past he almost one time made a 3-D film. The brains behind the money picked a director who was passionless for the horror genre and passionless for the original film. But at least he almost made a 3-D film one time.
Fourth, there was a complete lack of gore. I'm not saying that it needed to be all 'Dead Alive' or anything. But a horror movie about zombies with hardly any violence in it? Sad. And then wait till you see the ending... The writers basically added in a "mad scientist" sort of character that completely ruins what was already a horrid turd of a film.
Hands down this is the worst remake ever and that is saying something because there have been some really terrible remakes('The Hitcher' or 'The Grudge 2' anyone?). I really wanted to like this, but it was just awful. Please do yourself a favor and skip this movie. Don't even rent it.
Good ole' zombie fun!
Now, it's important to have an open mine while watching this. Don't take it too seriously and DO NOT compare it to the original. The original is a classic and this is NOT that! If you can get past that, this just simply is a fun zombie film. I'm glad it wasn't a direct remake (that was already done surprisingly well in the 90's) and this takes a bit of a humorous turn with a pothead family. The zombie FX is excellent but the gore isn't that strong (save a few shots.) I was reminded alot of those zombie films from the 80 (particularly Return of the Living Dead). If you don't mind cheese with your zombie film, then check this out!
not as bad as the others said it was
I agree with the others that it was not as good as the original movie. The 3D on the video "night of the living dead" was good, however I must worn you " do not try to clean the glasses" they will smeat and the blue of the blue lense will come off.
