No breasts. Twenty-one dead bodies. Exploding pickup. Exploding supporting
actors. Neck-crunching. Zombie corral. Zombie target practice. Zombie bonfire.
Eighteen gallons of blood. A 74 on the Vomit Meter. Kung Fu. Zombie Fu. [2 Nov 1990, p.13]
While this "Night" hasn't the chilling, almost cinema-verite credibility of the original, it is certainly a well-sustained entertainment, with one foolish or unlucky incident triggering another. Like the original, this R-rated production is definitely not for children. [19 Oct 1990, p.F1]
Though the broad outlines of the plot are the same - a disparate group of human survivors takes desperate refuge in a Pennsylvania farmhouse while waves of flesh-eating zombies roll up from the surrounding countryside - the characters have been deepened and the thematic emphasis shifted. [19 Oct 1990, p.C]
Romero's remake jettisons just those qualities that lent class to the 1968 original. [5 Nov 1990, p.79]
Particularly because Savini obviously feels a responsibility to the original, it's impossible for this new film to unfold with any sense of discovery or surprise. It's almost all just at the level of dutiful replication. [19 Oct 1990, p.35]

Infinitamente mejor que la versión original de 1968, la hace palidecer en todos los aspectos existentes.
