So this is where the lovers of the NOTLD remake hangs out, eh. LOL. I rented this on vhs when it came out 100 yrs ago, made a vhs dupe, and really dug it! I still do. I think it's a great zombie film and I have no problem with it being a remake.

Funny, I actually bid on one of these on eBay just the other week but lost.

I have to agree with Anthony1138. I actually love this film quite a bit and have never understood why it didn't get the respect or love it deserved. I though Savini's direction was top notch, giving it a real claustrophic feeling throughout and the cast was pretty amazing, especially Tony Todd. My only gripe would be that the makeup effects just weren't up to par with Savini's talents. Of course most people think since he's directing then he must do the effects as well, but unfortunately not and you can tell. So many scenes lost a lot of impact because of how badly the effects work was done, mainly in a lot of the opening scenes. I too would love to see a Blu-ray of this one someday. Nice VHS!

With each viewing, I wonder why NotLD '90 is so hated as well. I view it as the Romero Dead world entry for the '90s, even though George didn't direct. It's a solid film, regardless of being a remake.

I remember watching it in HD a few years back and it was a big improvement over the US DVD. I'd love to see this released on Blu-Ray someday.
