Featured review
Great remake
Director Tom Savini remakes the iconic George A. Romero original. There are some significant changes that makes it a more action packed logical construct. It's no longer the moody black and white '68 indie with odd shooting angles. This one is much more straight forward.
The actors are pretty good. The biggest name at the time has to be Tony Todd. Also this is Katie Finneran's first film. And Tom Towles is quite effective as the obnoxious dad. But it's Patricia Tallman that's the big discovery. She's got the great look, the force of will and the physicality to drive the movie and compete without being overshadowed by Tony Todd.
