Boring

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

As an indie horror film maker, I try hard to watch most indie films, and give those indie film directors a chance. I look at the work involved and imagination the same passion going into said project as I would my own!But then you get some indie films, much like this, and you wonder how the hell they ever got released.Yes, some effects might be fantastic. Yes it might star cult horror stars and fun actors. And yes, it might even have some amazing box art!But when it comes to a terrible script, poor performances and lazy direction, there is nothing that can help pull it back from the dead.Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation doesn't even need to be in 3D, because it does damn all for it other than slow it down even more and add to the annoyance of how crap it is overall.Sorry to say, but this is one stiff that should be left dead!

Where to begin? Sluggish pace, weak effects, weaker acting and just plain bad decisions made through out. This is a sequel to 2006's Night of the Living Dead 3D which in turn was a semi remake of the original 1968 classic. We all know the story of how the title of Night of the Living Dead is in public domain and anybody can use it. So it seems every couple of years somebody dusts it off and slaps it on a low grade zombie movie. This is exactly what we have here. Jeffrey Combs and Andrew Divoff (both have very stern roots in horror) play 2 brothers who one inherits the mortuary while the other shows up wanting to use it for a quick cash scheme. Throw in a few employees and about 20 zombies and that is the cast. The pace is very slow and when you combine that with sub par acting then it seems like the movie is longer than it is. You get a zombie here and there (only 1) and most show up in the last 20 min or so when the "outbreak" happens. I was really hoping for something slightly better than this but all I got was another disappointing zombie movie to toss on the pile. Next time use another title or come up with something original. I am giving it a 2/10.

After inheriting the family mortuary, a pyrophobic mortician (Andrew Divoff) accidentally exposes hundreds of un-cremated bodies to toxic medical waste...We have ourselves a great cast here: the legendary Jeffrey Combs, the lovely rising star Robin Sydney, the under-appreciated Walter Phelan and the multifaceted Andrew Divoff. If you watch this movie for no other reason, it should be for the cast.I liked the use of the name "Christie Forrest", and references to the other Romero films. I especially liked the mention of the "gorier" 1990 outbreak similar to the 1968 one. Horror fans wink and nod.My biggest complaint is the inclusion of Fixd News and Sister Sara -- this was lame and not necessary... politics should generally stay out of film unless necessary (satire is good, cheap shots are divisive). If done right you get John Carpenter's "They Live" where the message is timeless. Here, we have a Sarah Palin joke that should never have been included -- she is already old news now (2012) and someday will be completely forgotten... why pick on her and Fox?

The George A. Romero original Night of the Living Dead has been the basis for all things zombie over the years, including remakes. In 2006 a remake was released titled Night of the Living Dead 3D directed by Jeff Broadstreet. Now Broadstreet returns again to the genre with Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-animation, a prequel to his previous entry. Will it be a respectful worthy entry to a classic genre or just another forgettable zombie film to add to the countless others? Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-animation follows a mortician who exposes un-cremated bodies to toxic medical waste that cause them to reanimate. When his younger brother shows up and stumbles upon him trying to keep this zombie outbreak from getting outside the mortuary, their rivalry escalates as the dark family secret is revealed. This film had the chance to be a pretty fun zombie movie, but ended up just being average. Most of the issues here are pacing and lack of urgency. The first half has a lot of set up and takes a little long to get there than needed. Once the zombie fun begins it's a pretty fun movie but the characters just never seem to be all that freaked out about what's happening. What really steps this movie out of the realm of just average is the over the top performances by genre favorites Jeffery Combs and Andrew Divoff. These guys are polar opposites in acting style and really play well off of each other. Most of the best moments of the film come in the form of just watching these guys banter. There are some decent gore moments and the zombie make up effects are really well done keeping this film on par as one of the better to come along in a while.While there are lots of areas this film could have been better, it is still a fun addition to the series. Unlike most zombie films that are just tossed out left and right these days, this one tried to stick to the rules set forth by Romero while still telling their own story. Yeah this is a bit slow, but it is a prequel so required more set up for the story they are trying to tell. In addition to the fun zombie movie itself it also sports the old school red and blue glasses 3D which works pretty well and adds the old school monster movie vibe.
