George Romero’s classic film with a new soundtrack and color palate.
I feel like I cheated a little by choosing this one, but I genuinely thought it would offer something more. The way Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated did.
The neon coloring and electronic/synthesizer score did nothing for me. Primarily because it was the same riff over and over throughout the film. If that 1980’s inspired retro-futuristic sound and color are your thing, this might be for you. I found the new soundtrack to be more of a distraction than an enhancement. Though, perhaps putting this on in the background at a party might create a fun vibe. Anyway, it wasn’t really for me.
