1/10
A total scam.
6 June 2022
I spotted this in a store and was under the impression that footage was being added to the original film. I leapt to the conclusion this was deleted scenes being restored. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I started to watch it and saw this "new" footage I knew that I (and many others)had been duped. What every fan of the George Romero classic have been dying to know is the backstory to the first zombie who attacks Barbara and Johnny in the cemetery. They could even be bothered to match the film stock and the new scenes are jarring. Since the original film has lapsed into the tender mercies of public domain anyone could distribute it, colorize it or anything they want. The new score is dreadful. Whatever flaws the original film has it is still a classic and , in my opinion, the best zombie film ever made. A one star review is far too generous. I cannot recall what I did with my copy- I either sold it or threw it away. Hopefully it has gone out of print and just viewed in disgust by fans of the original.
