Two siblings named Barbara (Patricia Tallman) and Johnny (Bill Mosley) travel up to a graveyard to visit their mother's tombstone and Johnny keeps taunting Barb that the dead is coming to get her but suddenly they see a sick old man walking by them and then a zombie attacks Barbara and Johnny battles with the zombie but he is knocked unconcious so she reuns down to a farmhouse but it looks deserted. However, a zombie farmer is in the house and nearly attacks Barbara.
Then a black man in a truck named Ben (Tony Todd) enters the farmhouse and helps Barbara out as a few more zombies enter the house as well.
While they try to board the house up they encounter a couple of the residents named Tom (William Butler) and his girlfriend Judy (Kate Finneran) as they brought along a family who decides to stay in the basement to hide out as the parents daughter was bitten by a zombie.
Meanwhile, the little girl who got bitten awakens and is turned into a zombie
Afterwards, Tom and Judy die from an explosion while trying to get gasoline nearby and to Barbara's surprise the dead starts to eat their corpses after she finds out what caused the explosion.

This remake was poorly made as it was way too rushed with the events happening.
There are some interesting touches a quarter way through the film with the classic battles etc but really this one was a total failure.

The acting isn't as convioncing but it still pulls through. I must say that actress Patricia Tallman really stole the show with her performance as Barbara outbeating Judith O'Dea. She was great with her intensity after encountering the zombie's for the first time and was super at being tough while shooting the zombie's from the famrhouse too. This gal has got it.
Tony Todd is not too bad himself as a tough guy and delivers his lines alright but does better when he is aggressive. Of course he is remembered to millions as the Candyman.
William Butler however seems a little too comedic with his roile as he was meant to be serious.
Wait, we have horror veran Bill Mosley as the mocking brother of Tallman's who does great with his work and it's a shame that his role was small.

There are a couple of naked zombie's showing their butt

A cut off hand falls from upstairs in a farmhouse.
The remains of a farmman is revealed with his cut off wrist and bloodily shot head.
A zombie is stabbed in the head
There are body pieces

Tom Savini is better off as a make up wizard for gory flicks but does show some interesting moments to this film like the classic battle with Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman's roles with the three zombie's in the farmhouse.
Plus the zombie's outside in the woods looked great too as well as the explosuion with the truck and the zombie's coming towards it.
Savini made sure that Tallman showed great aggression when needed especially towards the end of the film.

The music is very cheesy with a synthesizer playing by Paul McCollough and sounds nowhere near as good as from the original film but however there's great guitar playing during the closing credits.

[first lines]
Johnnie: They're coming to get you, Barbara!

Harry: A way out is a way in.

Ben: You know what, Cooper, I've only been around you a minute or two, but that's enough time for me to decide that I don't like you very much.

Ben: You're boss down there. I'm boss up here.

Ben: Cooper, I've got a shotgun out here. Open this door, you motherfucker, or I swear to God I'll blow it to shit.

Ben (Looks at a thin closet door): No good
Tom: Better than nothing Ben
Ben (Punches through the closet door): No good.

[on the zombies approaching the house]
Barbara: They're so slow. We could just walk right past 'em and we wouldn't even have to run. We could just walk right past 'em. We have the guns. If we're careful we could get away.
[she looks at Ben]
Barbara: You told me to fight, well I'm fighting, this place is not safe, not upstairs or down. We should leave before it's too late.

Harry: You can't get any reception in the basement, dickhead.

Ben: You are losing it girl, you are losing it.
Barbara: You think so?
[Barbara shoots an approaching zombie in the face]
Barbara: Whatever I lost, I lost a long time ago and I do not plan on losing anything else. You can talk to me about losing it when you stop screaming at each other like a bunch of two-year-olds.

Hondo: [after almost killing Barbara thinking she is a zombie] Jesus, Goddamn, holyloving, shit! What in the name of Jupiter's balls are you doing out here alone little lady?

Harry: [discovering Barbara as she returned to the house the next day. Harry had cowered to the attic and left her for dead] You came back!
[pretending to be sincere]
Harry: You... Came back.
[Barbara glares at him and then shoots him in the head]

Barbara: That's another one for the fire.
