When John accidentally discovers a hidden compartment in the barn, he finds a creepy scarecrow but his son Michael makes him promise to destroy it.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's a shame such awful films are easy to find. As a huge fan of the Living Dead films and the zombie genre in general, I was vastly disappointed to find this remake so awful. Well, is it even really a remake? It's definitely this in name only. In fact, it even mentions the original movie or features clips from it or something. They mention a similar incident in 1968, so I guess this was instead meant to be an unofficial sequel to the original movie? I thought it would just be a cheesy remake, but it was much, much worse. It was just nothing happening for most of the movie with horrible effects and awful pacing.I guess "Zombie Nation" is still a worse movie as it's even more boring. This of course deserves mention as one of the worst horror movies ever made. I was amazed at awful everything looked. I didn't get a chance to see this in 3D and it's easy to tell it was supposed to be like that. A lot of things just seemed to jut out at me. I'm not into 3D, but wouldn't have bothered watching this in any version really. There was some pretty bad looking CGI in this. This movie features a guy who's a mortician and zombies appear and that's about it. They barely focus on the zombies at all. The original "Night Of The Living Dead" movie was hokey, but it was also original and helped define films in general.This film has really clumsy satire too. It features a parody of Fox News called Fixd News. Hey, that's not funny! Sarah Palin even appears and gets turned into a zombie. I don't see the joke in this. From what I recall back in 2012 when this movie was made, she wasn't a big deal. That was the election before this time. I think someone is turned into a zombie at the very end, but I don't even know. There's a scene where a cadaver comes to life but that might have just been a drug hallucination. This looks more like a low quality movie filmed for the Internet. It's lacking anything special and is an embarrassment to zombie fiction everywhere. *

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!

I had heard much good about this movie; little was I aware that it was for the original. The new iteration of it is so poorly done; the acting is horrible, the story is drawn out way beyond reason, the special effects could have been done by elementary school children and overall it's 84 minutes of my life I could have spent better and far more enjoyable on painfully plucking my facial hair, DIY dental work or basically just about anything else. Matter of fact, I created an account on IMDb for one purpose - to write this review. You may ask why I gave the movie 2 stars? Well, the story in and of itself is good. It's just playing it out that just does not work. Steer clear!

I'm a zombie fanatic , so I will see any movie with zombies in it, no matter how bad they are. When I heard that they would be doing a sequel/prequel to the N.O.T.L.D 3-D one with Sid Haig. I was excited to see it. especially since it had one of my favorite actors: The WishMaster himself: Andrew Divoff. And it also has Jeffrey Combs to boot, (who I didn't recognized because of how he has aged: he gained weight and has thinning hair, I was shocked how he changed) I said, it can't be that bad.Well, folks, let;s say it's not that good. The only saving grace to me is great Divoff and Combs interacting with each other. And the lovely Sarah Lieving to look at. There was also the cute but weird goth-chick who's into necrophilia, actress Robin Sydney. Her love-buddy played by Adam Chambers, who looks like a young Tom Sizemore to me, really doesn't have much to do except take orders from Divoff and get high with the goth chick. He somehow winds up a zombie, but who cares.All in all, it's not that bad, but not that good either. Just like Jeff Broadstreet's earlier effort with Sid Haig instead doing the role of Gerald Tovar, Jr. that Divoff does here. Still, it's good for at least one good viewing to see these two old greats actors acting together in a zombie atmosphere film no less. So , grab the popcorn and enjoy, just don't expect a classic, enjoy with a open mind and you'll have a 'ghoul' old time!
