Night of the Living Dead: Re-Animation Trailers

After inheriting the family mortuary, a pyrophobic mortician accidentally exposes hundreds of un-cremated bodies to toxic medical waste. As the corpses re-animate, the mortician's inheritance-seeking younger brother unexpectantly shows up, stumbling upon a full zombie outbreak!

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. *

You've got to hand it to the filmmakers on this one: they poke some fun at some of the Real World crazies in this remake-in-name-only: in particular, "Sister Sara," whose "teabonics" clearly reflects the "low-info" (or "no-info," as I prefer to see it) of Fox sNooze, a.k.a. GOP TV and "The Grudge Report." Teabaggers might not care for it, but who cares: they don't care about anybody else, anyway. RE-ANIMATION boasts a couple of good performances- by Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs- and manages- like THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD- to create and sustain some spooky mood throughout. "Things just pile up on ya," Divoff muses at one point: "Late at night, I'd fire up the chainsaw and de-animate 'em..." It's a somewhat sane solution (given the circumstances) to the problem. One of the misfires the movie has is the pump-shotgun-of-a-thousand-shells problem- something that might go unnoticed in a video game or a badly made movie, but something that trips up filmmakers who've crafted something that might well have been hailed as an alternative to most of the lesser efforts in this particular genre.

I'm a zombie fanatic , so I will see any movie with zombies in it, no matter how bad they are. When I heard that they would be doing a sequel/prequel to the N.O.T.L.D 3-D one with Sid Haig. I was excited to see it. especially since it had one of my favorite actors: The WishMaster himself: Andrew Divoff. And it also has Jeffrey Combs to boot, (who I didn't recognized because of how he has aged: he gained weight and has thinning hair, I was shocked how he changed) I said, it can't be that bad.Well, folks, let;s say it's not that good. The only saving grace to me is great Divoff and Combs interacting with each other. And the lovely Sarah Lieving to look at. There was also the cute but weird goth-chick who's into necrophilia, actress Robin Sydney. Her love-buddy played by Adam Chambers, who looks like a young Tom Sizemore to me, really doesn't have much to do except take orders from Divoff and get high with the goth chick. He somehow winds up a zombie, but who cares.All in all, it's not that bad, but not that good either. Just like Jeff Broadstreet's earlier effort with Sid Haig instead doing the role of Gerald Tovar, Jr. that Divoff does here. Still, it's good for at least one good viewing to see these two old greats actors acting together in a zombie atmosphere film no less. So , grab the popcorn and enjoy, just don't expect a classic, enjoy with a open mind and you'll have a 'ghoul' old time!

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.
