Poor remake despite boobage

OK, there are two people who will get me into watching a film, no matter how bad the reviews. One is Danny Trejo, and the other, who is in this film, is Sid Haig. Now, the best Sid Haig is Captain Spaulding in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, but any Sid Haig is good.

Johnny (Ken Ward) dumps Barb (Brianna Brown) in the cemetery and the zombies soon arrive. She heads to a mortuary - not a good choice, where Sid Haig appears. He's no help, so she is saved by Ben (Joshua DesRoches), and they head to the Cooper's.

This isn't your daddy's classic, as I don't recall any boobage in the original. We have Cristin Michele (2001 Maniacs) out in the barn going at it with her boyfriend (Max Williams) completely starkers. Anyone for sushi? For folks that were watching the original Night of the Living Dead on TV, they should know that they have two people in the house that are going to turn.

OK, Sid Haig returns. After confessing his part in all this, he demonstrates his capability with a shovel. Of course, he doesn't tell the whole truth.

They run away, all except Hellie Cooper (Johanna Black), who didn't listen very well when Sid was explaining what happens when you are bit. She stay with her husband (Greg Travis), who had already been bit by his daughter (Alynia Phillips).

Not as great as the original.
