Free Download Night Of The Living Dead 1990

A couple of times recently I’ve talked about remakes of classic horror movies. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. I maintain that in order for a remake to be a critical success, it has to have a point. It might be that the original fell short in some way, or that film-making technology has advanced sufficiently to benefit the telling of a particular story.

Barbra (sic) between the 1968 and 1990 versions of Night of the Living Dead, my. Living dead films with Romero's earliest zombie movie, Night of the Living. Version, simply the enemies of human beings; instead, they have become free. 1990-10-19 Synopsis: A remake of George Romero's 1968 black-and-white classic that begins in a cemetery, as the recently-dead return to life - from an unknown cause - and attack the living as their prey. One woman escapes the frightening zombies to take refuge with others in a farmhouse, as every cadaver for miles around hungers for their flesh.

Or maybe a sociological, environmental or political change or similar has given the premise a new lease of life. Unfortunately, the George Romero scripted, directed 1990 remake of Romero’s classic has very little reason to exist. I caught the remake on it’s opening weekend twenty-five years ago (twenty-five years how did that happen?) and I took the opportunity to watch it again recently.

I really enjoyed it when I was twenty, and I wondered how it would hold up today. The short answer – it didn’t.

Not particularly well, anyway. It’s a new night for terror – and a new dawn in horror movie-making when special-effects genius Tom Savini (creator of the spectacularly gruesome make-up in and ) brings modern technology to this colourful remake of ‘s 1968 cult classic. Seven strangers are trapped in an isolated farmhouse while cannibalistic zombies – awakened from death by the return of a radioactive space probe – wage a relentless attack, killing (and eating) everyone in their path. The classic for the 90s: graphic, gruesome and more terrifying than ever! I have to admit, I was really disappointed with my recent re-watch of the remake.

It’s taken me a few weeks to work out exactly why, and I think there are a number of reasons. There’s still quite a bit to like here. Some good gore and make-up effects, strong performances by most of the cast (particularly ), decent photography Unfortunately, for me the bad outweighs the good by a long margin. With the benefit of hindsight, this movie feels to me like the beginning of Romero’s decline.

Apart (another film on my list to re-watch and write about), his more recent zombie movies pale into insignificance against the original,. I don’t know if you’ve seen them? Was pretty awful, and was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Like I said, the remake of seems to set this descent into motion. For me, it’s where Romero stopped innovating and started mimicking – where his movies stopped setting the rules and raising the bar, and instead just followed the crowd like a lone zombie at the back of a pack of other featureless undead buggers. This suggestion is borne out by the fact that, for the most part, this film spends its running time mimicking the original: beat for beat, moment for moment. But then, as if to check we’re still paying attention, it’ll make a subtle and often unnecessary change.

Slight spoilers ahead. What looks like the first ghoul in the replay of the cemetery scene, isn’t. Barbara has a character arc which is almost diametrically opposite of the whiney, mouse-like woman from the original.

Ahci driver windows 7 64 bit windows 10. And most regrettably, Ben is denied the perfect ending the character faced in the 1968 movie. That said,, the 1990 Ben, is such a strong screen presence that he’s watchable pretty much whatever he’s doing. But do you see where I’m going here? These are just changes made for changes sake.

It’s like Romero needed reasons for people to watch this remake and so set traps. In retrospect it feels cheap. It leaves a bad taste. The timeless quality of the 1968 original is lost here, and is replaced by a full-on 1990’s vibe, a point driven home by the godawful electronic soundtrack which destroys any atmosphere the moment it starts playing.

I feel like I’m being unfair here, because this movie isn’t a total write-off. It has a lot going for it, but falls at the first hurdle because it’s a remake of a film which didn’t need to be remade. Please do check it out though if you haven’t already. It’s available on and from all the usual outlets including. But if you’ve got an hour and a half and are in the mood for a truly ground-breaking zombie movie, watch this instead.
