The rotting zombie seems surprisingly agile, able to outmaneuver the brother and even think about using a brick to smash the window, when other zombies would just bump into it repeatedly.
I actually have a theory. The old man that approaches Barbara and Johnny was perhaps attacked by either the first or second zombie. He was in shock from that, and that’s why he said “ I’m sorry “. I also think that the first zombie, or the second zombie came out of the casket and was just wandering around the cemetery at the time. I then noticed that when Barbara runs to the car, she sees the autopsy zombie, and he looks as if he was walking from out the woods. I think he was just another zombie that had appeared in the cemetery at the time.
The zombie with the autopsy cuts was the body from the casket. It was wearing clothes slit down the back that made it easier for the morticians to dress him. So, he had been recently autopsied and was wearing funeral home clothes. It was obviously his funeral.
@@MrDeliriaframe so when he made that sudden turn right after Johnny started being attacked that was just him looking to see what was going on or what? Because that turn was too sudden AND he had slowed down before he turned around...Idk it's still weird to me lol
Has anyone else thought about the first two zombies and the old man in the beginning? My take is, the old man saying "I'm sorry" was the hearse driver/ cemetery caretaker and he was finishing up the end of a service only to discover someone moving inside. He opened it only to discover a zombie. Furthermore, which zombie was in the casket? I have to go with the first zombie that attacks Johnny. The reason is because even though the first zombie has advanced decay, it could be likely that he was given a closed casket service due to his advanced decay. His suit is also covered in soil as he probably fought the caretaker on top of the freshly dug soil mound, presumably hitting his head on the casket and the caretaker then jabbed the zombie with a floral decoration. The second "autopsy zombie" could be highly plausible to have come out of the casket as well if not for the fact that the first zombie already had decay and was dirty. The autopsy zombie most likely would have wandered out from an onsite mortuary/chapel. These are things that most people probably dont waste time in thinking about but its interesting to make sense of.
autopsy zombie forsure came out of the casket attacked the old guy then wandered a short distance . his clothes would have fallen off in short time if he came form any further away. he was only 30-40 feet from the casket.
@@DGsKattKatt another theory i have was both zombies were from the same family plot. the autopsy zombie came out of the casket above ground, and the second zombie clawed his way out of the freshly dug grave from his rotted casket.
@@motaz1975 could have been. I'm lost on the old dude that said 'I'm sorry'. The only theory I have for that is he was turning. But he also had a head wound...then when Johnny was fighting the one attacking Barbara the old dude stopped suddenly and turned around. I'm lost on that one!🤷🏿♀️
lads, here's my chronology... 1 for some reason dead in the area (or nationwide) starts to came back to life (radiation from satellite, virus, origins are still unknown) 2 old man a hearse driver (funeral attendant) arrived before guests to prepare the ceremony (common practice), he took the coffin out of the car (are you able to doing that alone? if not, he had a partner, whose identity still unknown), heard some noise from the coffin, open it, saw autopsy suit zombie (2nd one), panicked, hit his head on the coffin or car, and run away 3 1st zombie (rotten one) probably crawl from the unfinished grave and starts roaming around the cemetery (its hard to believe he could dug out from proper grave of heavy coffin + 1.5 meters of dirt), reasons why was the grave left unfinished unknown, he looks decomposed, so, he definitely spent time in the grave or local mortuary without the freezer 4 old man (hearse driver) spotted the car with people (barbara and johny) and came after them for help, but his head injury and mental shock made him scattered and confused, so he couldn't explain anything just scared barbara, that's why he said i am sorry and decided to go away 5 entire situation + johnys behavior made them unaware to surroundings, which allowed the 1st one zombie (rotten) to get close to them unnoticed hiding behind tall tombstones (but for me its an obvious plothole, there is no way you didn't see a person approaching you in the graveyard) 6 the reason why rotten zombie attack johny and barbara and not the old man is because probably they got some tunnel vision, and old man was out of it///
I believe someone who worked on the movie got a free car since the crash showed the trunk dent without damaging the interior of the car. Basically show how sturdy it was. Free advertisement. That's what Tom Savini said during the director's commentary anyway.
You'd be surprised how much praise this remake has received over the years. When it was first released it didn't go over well. All the old timers didn't like it. Over time, new generations of fans are introduced to this film and greatly prefer it over the original. I first saw the 1990 version as a young kid a few years after it was released. This is still my all time favorite zombie film. This and ROTLD for other reasons.
I first saw this movie on TNT Monster Vision. This is one of those movies that scared me as a kid. The autopsy zombie is what scared me the most. The way his clothes started to drag. Achieved with no CGI. Just makeup, practical effects, camera tricks. Tony Todd before Candyman. They don't make movies like this anymore.
I always assumed the old dude was a mortician who thought he accidentally brought a corpse back to life, and was apologizing to someone for what he thought he’d done, not realizing it was a national thing… maybe I’m reading to into it
The first "Cemetery Zombie" (Greg Funk) is the most terrifying zombie in any zombie film ever. So freakin' creepy. Nobody could make a zombie film like this today even if they tried. It would be CGI'd to hell. The magic is gone in modern horror.
yep, this zumbi really messed me as a kid... for some reasons he look so real, walking dead ghouls are not scary (99% of them are not), they just look like vampires, growling and screaming, too much expressions, and all look like the same, old movies zombies look like humans, with minimum make up
They're not backwards. You can see them at first and they're normal I think it looks that way as he walks because he's stepping on the bottom of the pants which is pulling them down and covering the feet. This scene really got to me when I first saw this when I was a kid.
Yeah, that freaked me out too. Plus the fact guy looks almost normal until he starts walking his clothes off then his face goes all creepy. I had a hard time watching that. @@adamjustadam
This didn't release until 1993 in the UK and I saw it at the Southampton film festival........it was great and I still love the film. With that being said, my biggest complaint is with the two rubber dummies, the Johnny one being not very well done imo. I would've built a rig for both actors to lay on and filmed the falling sequence in reverse.
these are the type of zombies i like. the classic slow moving shambling zombies that show signs of decay. not these fast running zombies that look like they have rabbies.
I always loved this movie since little kid never gotten scared. But this what got me I am not far from this house where the filmed at. I am but maybe 25 mins away never checked it out yet but pretty interesting
Did the caretaker purposefully brought the zombies to the siblings as a distraction so they can be occupied while the caretaker can get away? I did see him turn and watched as the decayed zombie focused on the siblings.
I wonder how the second zombie died. He looked pretty young, maybe mid 30's and his funeral looked like it was supposed to happen that day, as seen by the hurst and casket. Also, why was the entire backside of his suit sliced off? And did the embalmer seriously not put underwear on him?
Don't know how he died but I have heard that Funeral Directors have to cut the back of the clothing to fit them onto the corpse because they are stiff .
this remake is the only horror remake i will ever give credit to..just an unpdated carbon copy of the first, Tony Todd leads the way with his great acting..Tom Savini directed it with Romeros blessing too...i watch it more than the original as im just not a huge fan of old black and white movies..
i wonder who the confused old man was played by, the imdb Night Of The Living Dead (1990) page, list of actors in the movie has no mention of who he was????
Johnny y su hermana Barbara visitan la tumba de su madre en un cementerio remoto de Pensilvania. Durante su visita, un anciano que está en estado de shock y tiene sangre en la frente, choca con ellos y huye despavorido. Se ofrecen a ayudarlo, pero son atacados por un zombi. Johnny muere mientras Barbara huye del cementerio y descubre lo que parece ser una granja abandonada.
yes ive always loved the classines of the zombie method on picking on womans on the country side very clumsy , very committed on relationships , will never give op on you theas are the prime way to decribe zombie method try now !!!
Good Lord, he's just an older brother teasing his sister. I don't think Johnny being killed in front of his sister fit the punishment, lol... And what kind of grown ass woman is afraid of a cemetery. She brought the teasing on herself.
How when its basically the same? The only real difference is Barbara's character. The zombies look so much better in this too. I can understand people saying that the original is better, but to say that this is "no where near as good" confuses me when its basically the same film and follows the original movie scene for scene.
@@adambelfast1 The atmosphere in the remake was nothing like the original. The suspense in the original was correctly built up as oppose to the remake which felt like a Zombie Action movie as oppose to a Zombie Horror movie which the original done properly. They threw too many zombie actors early on in the movie which took away the scare factor and made it too action packed which again doesn't match the original at all which was tenseful at all times. They completely threw away the Horror/Suspense aspect that the Original had and turned it into a Action movie.
The zombies here seem more intelligent than in the original. The first zombie remembered the basics of CQC and performed a reversal on Johnny, and then smashed a car window with a brick!

I miss this style of horror. Very classic and down right spooky.

That’s because the Romero zombies are a bit smarter than normal zombies
"Night of the Living Dead"(1990) is an excellent Zombie horror movie! This Remake is almost equal than the Original!
You're right it just surpasses with the character development of Barbara.
@fleshsuitman to the Remake Barbara's character it's probably better!
autopsy zombie was the scariest I have ever seen, and I saw a lot

For me personally, as amazingly creepy as the first zombie in this flick is, I personally find the second "autopsy zombie" even more scary.
Barbara "accidentally" kicks her brother and then stabbed his hand. 😆
The autopsy zombie first starts walking with his feet straight, when they zoom in they're backwards
