Have you seen this yet? If you haven't, let me break it down for you. A brother and a sister drive up to a cemetery for the day to visit their dead relative. Barbara who is deftly terrified of the cemetery begins to get teased by her older brother but they soon realize that his taunting about the dead coming back to life isn't just teasing. They both get attacked by a zombie who begins to struggle with Barbara's brother. Barbara gets away, but her brother isn't so lucky. Now, Barbara must hide out in a farmhouse with a bunch of survivor's as the dead begin to come back to life one by one, eating human beings and begin taking over the countryside.
    This is a classic low-budget movie that made it from a shoestring budget and became a cult-classic that spawned sequels, remakes, and tons of rip-offs. Now then, this is the anniversary edition I'm talking 'bout here so, the sound and picture quality in this has improved greatly and we see some new scenes added. They are spooky! We have at the beginning, the origin of how the farmers were killed and how that first zombie broke loose, then we have some added scenes of zombies on a rampage and a horrifying scene of zombies roaming and taking over the countryside. I am terrified of zombie movies, and I must say it took a lot of balls for me to watch this, though most of the time I had my eyes covered. This movie still is able to pack quite a wollop with its dark moods and its feeling of isolation even though they are in the countryside. This is still a classic.

Was George Romero high when he approved these new scenes? I mean, sure, they add well to the story, but the acting is s-o-o-o terrible. We have one character in the new scenes that is just plain ridiculous. A priest that constantly screams and hollers about god and the new takeover of the living dead. Whatever. These new scenes are so redundant and useless that they stick out from the movie like a sore thumb. They're filmed without a film camera so they look live and amateur.

Advice to Mr. Romero, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Please let this classic rest in peace. Pun intended.
