Title: AN UTTER DESECRATION OF A HORROR CLASSIC
Review: Dear lord, what has that old fool John Russo done? Mr. "I Co-wrote 'Night of the Living Dead,' So How Come I'm Not Famous?" managed to convince the other original backers of the film to do this 30th Anniversary edition (a year late, by the way, for the actual 30th anniversary of the movie!), found some old B&W film stock, and has shot 20 minutes of new footage that makes no sense and detracts from the film's pacing. Worse yet, he's CUT 15 minutes of footage that adds character and depth to the film, plus he's added an awful, uninspired pop-rock soundtrack by the ludicrous Scott Vladimir Licina. Licina and Z-movie strumpette Debbie Rochon (Troma's "Tromeo & Juliet") are featured in an epilogue that is more embarrassing than enlightening. See what George Lucas started? At least George Romero was smart enough to wash his hands of this entire sorry mess.
Is the review positive or negative?
