I watched it online out of curiocity as there is no DVD available yet and i was glad that there was no DVD so i saved money and watched it for free online.
1) this was exactly the same as the original only it failed in every way.
the actors acted badly the music was newtral and the movie had none of the magic the original had.
2) Really when u have seen the original u have seen it all and try to make another one trying to do it like the original was done it makes no sense.
romero did a little miracle back then.
this is not easy task and i don't think anyone can make a remake as good as the 1968 original was.
Even the great savini 1990 remake was very good but still nowhere near the original and that remake was the only really worth remake to own together with the original....(1998 version is not essentially a remake)
3) this amateur effort is not worth it and is as bad as the latest NOTLD Resurrection movie was and as bad as mimesis movie also was.
Even the mediorce 2006 3-d remake was better than this crap which just tried to use the original's formula but failed in every aspect.
Conclusion
So avoid it and let's hope the new announced sequel to the romero dead movies will resurrect the franchise to it's former heights.
we don't need those cheap and bad imitators.
we want the real thing.

Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. When will 'filmmakers' with no talent, no original ideas and little to no acting experience give it up? STOP REMAKING NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! All you do is piss off the fans and embarrass yourselves. I know that it takes very little to make a zombie movie (which is why there are so many damned bad ones out there), but how about at least trying to come up with an original idea? I hope this never gets released on DVD because some poor deluded fool will end up paying for it!
My first review, to warn potential viewers.
As a very open-minded and experimental movie watcher (especially after a few beers) I find myself watching trash quite often. Trashy movies can be done well, unfortunately this is not.
The acting is horrible, the only one who seems like he is not just reciting some lines off of a page is Gad Holland as Ben. 1 Star for him.
The sound editing is horrible, some scenes are extremely quiet and you crank up the volume just to have your ears blasted off in the next scene by somebody screeching right next to the microphone.
Overall this seems like a project done by students of a movie academy, not an actual movie as such. I have seen better things done by hobby filmmakers. I am also very surprised by the rather positive ratings here on IMDb, perhaps only staff and relations rated this movie so far, who knows?
Recommendation: don't watch it, even Uwe Boll's movies are better than this

Shockingly poor film. Terrible writing, lighting, sound, and as for the acting. O...M...G.
I want my 79 minutes back.
I was excited to finally be able to see Chad Zuver' "A Night of the Living Dead".
Up until this evening, I had only been able to view the trailer. Being a fan of the Ohio independent horror scene, this film had a couple of actresses that I'm a fan off.
A Night of the Living Dead starts out pretty strong, but goes downhill pretty fast. A family goes to the cemetery to visit their Mother's grave site. One daughter Barbra (Melissa Zahs) is attacked and killed, as is her boyfriend Johnny. The father and other daughter escape to a nearby house with a group of others to try to hold up against the zombies.
This is certainly not Chad Zuver's best effort. I'm only giving this five stars for Melissa Zahs. She did a great job in her film debut. Kayla Elizabeth is good too! Otherwise I didn't care for the movie.
