This 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead" is actually very watchable remake of the 1968 classic. Remakes tend to be disappointing but not in this case. The ending here is different and not so downbeat as before. The characters are pretty much one- dimensional but they serve their purpose well enough. The location is suitably eerie and imaginative. It is always a good idea to set and make these kinds of films in the countryside as it heightens the sense of isolation. The zombies are out in full force here and there must be thousands of them on the loose. As before, a small group of humans in a house are besieged by the living dead. There is some good action as well as the customary bloodletting.
