Night of the Living Dead 1990 and Dawn of the Dead 2004

[FreddysFingers]

I haven't seen the remake of NOTLD in a long time and only once in my life but I enjoyed it from what I remember. It doesn't have that gritty, grim atmosphere but it's a remake that set out to do its own thing. I applaud Savini for doing so.

For the DOTD remake, I thought it's one of the few examples of what a remake should be; taking an old idea or old plot and transforming it into something new and exciting, while still paying tribute to its source material. I think the reason why it works is because it's such a new take on the zombie genre and it was written and directed by people who were fans of the original. It brought something new to the table and sparked the war between running and walking zombies. It's flashy and over the top, which can be a turn off at times, but it's still highly entertaining.

Day of the Dead was a disaster. I love the original Day of the Dead and it's my favorite Romero zombie movie. Its remake was complete and total ass garbage. 'nough said.
