I don't think it is as good as the original, but it is still very good. It has everything going for it. The updates to the original made sense and were not silly or gratuitous, the film was well made, and it had significant involvement from the important players behind the original, and it was done with Romero's blessing. He actually wanted this done because his copyright on the original ran out years ago, and he makes basically no money from the original. This remake allows him to make something off of one of the most profitable ideas in the history of the genre. That in and of itself is just about the best reason ever given for one of these remakes.

It's been quite sometime for me. I guess it has to go on the next order too.

Can't agree with you more, HNT, though I put this over the original. It's more enjoyable and entertaining with just about every area improved upon over the original.

I've still never seen this one but have wanted to for a while now. Not sure what channels you have, but it has been available on demand through Starz or Encore for a whle now. If you get those channels, you might wanna check and see if it is still there this month.

No, I don't have those channels but I'm sure I can get a hold of it when I get a chance to watch it.

Website Freddy in Space is reporting that a Blu Ray limited to 3000 copies is being released on October 9 from Twilight Time.
Glad I held off on the DVD.
