Review of Night of the Living Dead (1990) by Stephen M — 20 Dec 2007
A pretty good remake of the original, executive produced and scripted by George A. Romero. Of course, it's inevitably tempting to wish he'd directed as well, but make-up man turned director Tom Savini does a decent job on the whole, surprisingly abstaining from excessive gore effects.
Much of the pleasure for fans of the original derives from the clever confounding of our expectations. Though nothing can match the shattering final irony of Romero's version, Savini's climaxes with its own effective clutch of ironies.
