The visuals get a thumbs-up for capturing the grim, claustrophobic farmhouse siege, but this remake struggles to find its own voice. People keep comparing it to the George Romero original, and not in a good way, with many finding the story and characters like Barbara and Bill to be flat retreads. Even with genre veterans like Vivica A. Fox and Dee Wallace in the cast, the performances aren't enough to save it, leaving a movie that looks the part but feels hollow.
