Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Coming Soon

to Sky Movies

Director: Tom Savini

Stars: Patricia Tallman, Tony Todd, Tom Towles

Year: 1990 Running Time: 85 mins Rating:

Meaty remake of the George A Romero classic zombie horror thriller - scripted by Romero but directed by Tom Savini, the man behind the gory effects of the earlier Living Dead films. Stars Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman join a group of human survivors trapped in a remote farmhouse with the dead knocking on the door. Plenty for horror fans to get their teeth into.

Review

Effects legend Tom Savini is just the man to roll his sleeves up and get stuck into a gristly remake of George Romero's undying classic.

An excellent, hard-driving performance by Patricia Tallman, going from nervous wreck to intense, knife-edge gun girl, offers a good twist on the original and Tony Todd is a competent hero.

The living dead themselves are always ludicrous rather than threatening, but there's plenty of jumpy moments and the atmosphere remains tense.
