I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say the remake did this better. It's not that I want a movie to be full of action, it's just it's full of nothing but boring dialog. The characters are selfish and the acting consists of an amateurish style, that wears out its welcome quickly. Romero has given us some dandies. "Dawn Of The Dead" "Night Of The Living Dead", hell even Day Of The Dead was good, but this doesn't rank among them. The gore level is pretty tame as well. The only blood that you'll see flow freely here, is some messy gun-shot type stuff, and it looks like red paint most of the time. I know this was directed to be an act as a social commentary of sorts, but it even fails in that regard. I didn't feel anything after this movie was over, in fact I was relieved I didn't have to watch any more of it. The most effective sequence in the movie, by far is the beginning. Chilling stuff.
The Performances are all amateurish, and not really worth going over.
Bottom line. I was going to say this is worth a look for curiosity's sake, but even that is pushing it. Stick to Romero's better works.
3/10
