    My only complaint is that its plot flatlines compared to the 1979 version, which was trickier, wittier and smarter. Romero was not above finding parallels between zombies and mall shoppers. show more

    Faster, leaner and more compact than the original. Dumber, too, but that's almost always the case with remakes. show more
