News of another Romero rehash, or even just a remake of anything, usually inspires more chills than mirth and after Tom Savini’s misguided ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and the shallow drudgery of Zack Snyder’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’, then why not? However, this film was an interesting concept in that it was very possible that a remake could improve on the heavy-handed original. Alas, it doesn’t.
