No way near as good
4 February 2000
NOTLD remake was just on the sci-fi channel this evening and I have to say, it was no way near as good as the original. As a seasoned horror fan, I expected a little more gore, the small bullet holes could not compare with some of Romero's earlier work. Another thing is that the remake missed out what I thought was one of the best parts of the original and that is the long radio announcements. The remake only shows a few seconds of a news report and only a brief radio announcement. The film drags on for too long.

Lastly, I won't spoil the ending for you but the original film's ending was much darker and horrific than the remake.

I say, rent the original and give this a miss. 4 stars.
