I’m probably going to catch a lot of flak for this, but I think the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead is a better movie than the original. Though Romero’s black-and-white 1968 version, which launched one of my favorite franchises, is inarguably one of the best horror movies of all time, I’ve long had a sweet spot for the updated and revamped version directed by special effects legend Tom Savini.
If you’re pissed off about this take, agree with me, or simply want to hear what I have to say about a horror movie remake that doesn’t suck (it’s actually really, really good), come along with me as I break it all down and explain why newer is better in this case. But first, let me board up those windows and doors in case any angry zombies try to storm the house because of this…
