	Author	Review
United States	Felix Vasquez Jr. Bloody Disgusting	"Remaking a film like Night of the Living Dead is a very heavy task, to say the least. But in 1990, Tom Savini did just that. And his effort remains one of the great horror remakes."	POS
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"[A] witty, entertaining remake (...) Savini's straightforward direction gains strength from Tom Dubensky's swift, clean editing"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Towles is an actor who can indeed be chilling (...) But here, like all of the other actors, he is wasted on a film that confuses screaming with emotion (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Simon Abrams Slant	"[An] essential viewing for anyone who considers the man’s films to be relevant works of pop art."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"It’s not just that the original had an inimitably garish low-budget atmosphere. It’s that in the 22 years since 'Night of the Living Dead' first played midnight show, there have been 50 million other movies featuring zombies"	NEG
United Kingdom	Almar Haflidason BBC	"There's little denying that this is a better horror film than most made in the 1990s (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
