It's a shame such awful films are easy to find. As a huge fan of the Living Dead films and the zombie genre in general, I was vastly disappointed to find this remake so awful. Well, is it even really a remake? It's definitely this in name only. In fact, it even mentions the original movie or features clips from it or something. They mention a similar incident in 1968, so I guess this was instead meant to be an unofficial sequel to the original movie? I thought it would just be a cheesy remake, but it was much, much worse. It was just nothing happening for most of the movie with horrible effects and awful pacing.I guess "Zombie Nation" is still a worse movie as it's even more boring. This of course deserves mention as one of the worst horror movies ever made. I was amazed at awful everything looked. I didn't get a chance to see this in 3D and it's easy to tell it was supposed to be like that. A lot of things just seemed to jut out at me. I'm not into 3D, but wouldn't have bothered watching this in any version really. There was some pretty bad looking CGI in this. This movie features a guy who's a mortician and zombies appear and that's about it. They barely focus on the zombies at all. The original "Night Of The Living Dead" movie was hokey, but it was also original and helped define films in general.This film has really clumsy satire too. It features a parody of Fox News called Fixd News. Hey, that's not funny! Sarah Palin even appears and gets turned into a zombie. I don't see the joke in this. From what I recall back in 2012 when this movie was made, she wasn't a big deal. That was the election before this time. I think someone is turned into a zombie at the very end, but I don't even know. There's a scene where a cadaver comes to life but that might have just been a drug hallucination. This looks more like a low quality movie filmed for the Internet. It's lacking anything special and is an embarrassment to zombie fiction everywhere. *

Corpses reanimate after Pyrophobic mortician accidentally exposes hundreds of uncremated bodies to toxic medical waste.To director Jeff Broadstreet's credit he does manage to bag some great actors including Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs in his prequel to his 2006 film. Here Divoff replaces Sid Haig, the 3D is as gimmicky Broadstreet's first offering. It shockingly tries to cash-in on the Re-Animator series as well as the Night of the Living Dead. The acting is slightly better thanks to Divoff and Combs. If you liked Night of the Living Dead 3D (2006) expect more of the same as Re-Animation is just as bad (or good depending on your opinion), for everyone else you may want to watch Re-Animator (1985) and Night of the Living Dead (1968) again.

I had heard much good about this movie; little was I aware that it was for the original. The new iteration of it is so poorly done; the acting is horrible, the story is drawn out way beyond reason, the special effects could have been done by elementary school children and overall it's 84 minutes of my life I could have spent better and far more enjoyable on painfully plucking my facial hair, DIY dental work or basically just about anything else. Matter of fact, I created an account on IMDb for one purpose - to write this review. You may ask why I gave the movie 2 stars? Well, the story in and of itself is good. It's just playing it out that just does not work. Steer clear!

This movie was not too bad but in saying that it wasn't great either. The CGI effects in some parts was second rate and the acting was average too, although I did like Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs in this. The story wasn't ground breaking either, but there were a few funny bits in the film. I have to say that some of the zombies looked pretty good for a B type movie, and some of the bloody gory parts were not that bad, but again they were out weighed by the average parts of the film. I did try to give it a chance, and like I said, it wasn't really bad, but it's the kind of movie that once you see you really don't need to see it again. So I give it a 4 out of 10.
