Negative Positive
Title: A worthless pile of garbage
Review: Kudos to Anchor Bay for remastering the original footage (which is even sharper and clearer than Elite's version) but the lousy new synth score and stupid, pointless, badly acted new scenes are a case lesson in how you can take a classic and turn it into a turd.And John Russo, the talentless co-writer of the original NIGHT and the director of the new scenes for this new NIGHT, says, "This is what we wanted to do originally."If that's so, I imagine the conversation between Russo and George Romero in 1968 during the production went like this:John Russo: Hey George, wouldn't it be cool if we added a subplot with a bald-headed geek as a priest and two gravediggers at the beginning?George Romero: No, John. That's stupid.Any self-respecting film fan should avoid submitting themselves to this catastrophic butchery of a classic.
Is the review positive or negative?
