Errores:

Errores Reales: In the scene preceding the venture to the gas pump, Ben creates a makeshift torch out of a table leg. He continues to shake a can of lighter fluid over the rag, implying that he is dousing the rag in fluid, but when he does so, the spout of the can is not open. No fluid would be able to pass through.

Citas:

[first lines]
Johnnie: They're coming to get you, Barbara!
Barbara: Stop it!
Johnnie: There coming!
[evil laughter]
Johnnie: They don't like being awaken this way!
Barbara: Why do you have to be so mean?
Johnnie: 'Cause I'm your older brother. Being mean and heartless is part of the job.

An interesting twist on the old formula.

You can't help but feel a tingle of deja vu while watching the color remake of Night of the Living Dead. It is essential for full enjoyment to have seen the original since the remake takes the same story and twists and tweaks it to bring it into the 90's. People are divided into two camps on this film. They either absolutely hate it or they have been enraptured by the change-up's that it pitches at you. I am of the later camp. At least Barbara (played by the beautiful Patricia Tallman) has enough of her wits about her to point out how irrational everybody else is being instead of being the catatonic victim like the first time around. "They're so slow. We can just walk right by them." She remarks to Ben (Tony Todd) who is adamant about staying in the house. Perhaps this version isn't socially relevant like the first, but it's nice to see that Romero can add a twist ending that can stand on it's own merits, but really is amusing in light of the former movie.
