I watched this when I was 8 years old, shouldn't have when my parents weren't home, but I had fun older cousins. I watched the original before back in the day, I respect the movie but it's too goofy. If you compare the opening scenes of both movies, the 68' movie is like some old guy awkwardly hugging Johnny and Barbara. The remake, zombie is more aggressive and looks disgusting. I still remember my cousin teasing me for how much of a pussy I was cause of how visually intense the movie is. This movie is old, but I just admire the color grading, can't explain why, it just feels comfortable to watch. What doesn't work? I wasn't into the dumb fuck shooting the gas pad lock with a shotgun, didn't work in the original either.
Tom Savini did a fantastic job on this remake.I love it way more than the original as well.
>>214489779The retcon of Barbara's character, on my first watched, seemed like a glorified attempt at HUR DUR GURL POWER, and I still think that, but I can appreciate a short haired red head zombie slaying tomboy. She should have died in the end with everyone else, but its an overall improvement on Barbara from the original version.
>>214489876Shes no more stronger than the main female in dawn and day
>>214489896She doesn't die at the end, making her a Mary Sue
>>214489809Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman carry the movie. No disrespect to Judith O'Dea, but she didn't do anything other than get in the way in the original movie. I also didn't like the original ending, at least the character of Ben got a more dignified death.
>>214489876I agree, but I am fine with it if the actress is great. If anything, had she died going out fighting it would have been better. Tony Todd's character logically shouldn't have died.
>>214489779>If you compare the opening scenes of both movies, the 68' movie is like some old guy awkwardly hugging Johnny and Barbara.100% correctand fuck your cousin, any 8 year old would be scared at that
>>214489973>Tony Toddhis mere presence makes whatever he's in instant kinoI've never seen anything, and I mean that literally, anything he's ever been in that wasn't kino
>>214489779Super truth, still thought can believe the original had that idea of the little girl and the unexpected hero, that still they do to this day, unless they werent the first to come up with that, if so, someone real pill me
>>214490259Why did the little girl stab her mom with a shovel instead of just eating her? It was very out if character
