More a Re-Animator Remake than Night Of The Living Dead
29 December 2023
While it shares both titles, this film is more a remake of Re-Animator tha NOTLD. When I saw it had Jeffrey Combs, I was in. He's one creepy dude in movies - even when he's not meant to. The only part of the story that even resembles NOTLD is the opening scene when a bother and sister are at the cemetery.

Gerald Tovar Jr (Andrew Divoff) inherits the family business when his father dies. His estranged brother Harold (Jeffrey Combs) returns wanting money. Little does he know what secrets his brother is hiding in the crematorium and fathers office.

The movie is a little slow to begin with while setting up the scene, but pretty on par with low budget flicks. Most of the action and gore is in the last half hour. Deadpan humour is provided by Combs in the way only he can. There's a dialogue about half way through where the brothers are discussing Zombie outbreaks but describing the NOTLD remakes - which I thought was pretty funny.

Just don't expect too much from this, but worth a watch at least if you're into B grade movies.
