Anticipating new interest in one of the most influential horror films of all time, Criterion gives George Romero’s zombie classic the boost to 4K. Pittsburghs’ most famous movie production returns American horror to its down-home roots, with excellent docu-drama direction and enthusiastic performances. It’s like a Disney film: every seven years a new generation will arrive to debate whether the besieged victims should have fought upstairs, or all retreated to the basement. It’s a 3-disc set, one 4K Uhd and two Blu-rays. Where’s the Bill ‘Chilly Billy’ Cardille theme song?

Writer/director/star Roger Conners’ film Rebirth is the latest remake of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. It was even shot under the title Night of the Living Dead: Rebirth. Since the official remake in 1990 there have been so many versions, animated, in 3D and whatever else that I’ve lost count. Can Rebirth, a film that dispenses with gimmicks and stays reasonably close to the original come through where so many of the others have fallen short? Especially one shot for about a tenth of what the original cost fifty three years ago?
