Rebirth

Rebirth is essentially just Mr. George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, but with a few twists and changes to make it slightly different from the original. Nevertheless, Rebirth is still a good movie in and of itself, and it's entertaining to watch, even though some people might find the glowing eyes unsettling. I didn't mind, though, because it didn't detract from the plot, and I wasn't upset about Barbara being changed into a boy named Adam, played by Roger Connors, because Ben was the one who really forced himself on the story. I also liked that they didn't alter Harry, which would have been a bit too strange if they had, the harry character pushing an important subliminal message and all. In general, I liked it.

It's amazing just how clueless some people are and I say that with absolute derision because of all the nonsense in the reviews about groundbreaking commentary on government blah and racial and sexual prejudice. This movie is not new the themes in it aren't a daring and bold in any way because it's a shot for shot remake of 50 year old George Romero classic. Stupid stupid most likely millennials who believe the world began the moment they were born. This is the most famous Zombie movie of all time and the only thing that's different is the female lead is replaced by a man. Seriously what the hell is wrong with this group of humans that leads to such a huge gap in knowledge that they aren't aware of NOTLD. The age old "what's wrong with the youth of today" from the past is never been more true then right now. Stupid completely self centered spoiled brats. Movie if it was a completely new idea would be passable this is made a monstrosity by the lazy nature of ripping off the classic made worse by the morons who think this is a new idea.

Has some pertinent things to say about "the enemy within" we know today. I have to believe George would've admired that.

Also I seriously enjoyed the zombie's high beam-emitting peepers. Some good spooky moments result from it and I wish the effect was utilized more. A nice tip of the hat to Lambert Bava's "Demons"es this production made their own.

Unfortunately there's many instances of budgetary constraint on display and some uneven performances that hobble "Rebirth" to an extent, but if you're a fan of the original it's worth a watch (and smarter than a lot of people will give it credit for).

And while we're talking George and "the original" I don't understand the logic behind dropping the "Living Dead" moniker. Personally I will never not refer to this as "Night of the Living Dead: Rebirth." Though that's certainly more of a mouthful.

HEY EVERBODY ITS ME, (4) and today we review ..... night of the living de ....???? Rebith of the living dead .....

SSOOOOO theres this whole thing about night of the living dead where its copyright is now up ...and its in public domain SO anyone can use the name and remake the movie etc .... so TONS of remakes and retellings and just out right films using the name etc have happened ...okay cool ...

SO this .....is one of those it seems .... only instead of barbara we have .....a gay dude ..... so i guess they are trying to bring the classic to a more modern PC era .... okay .... instead of becoming comatose however this guy just whines and cries and screams at everything ...so ....opositsies lol.... also ...annoying-isies ..... but its reall runs along the same basics as night of the living dead over all .... similar situations .... similar story .... similar characters ..... only some exagerations to them here or there ... like DR ANGRY BEARD lol..... taking the place of the angry dad from "night of" ....

being honest here i only watched about half way through before i started skipping around .... i realized .... "hey ive seen this before " and i just didnt want to waste another 45 minutes ....

from a technical standpoint ...everything seems pretty well done ... their lighting for a indie was on point ..the acting wasnt bad .... so good job ....

the FX were good EXCEPT the glowing eyes ?!?!?!!??!? Why ??????why did you feel that was needed ..... who was sitting there editing ....thinking ..and said " you knw what this needs .... REALLY terrible glowing eye FX , yea thats the ticket !!!" .... lol... NO shame on you ..and who ever greet lit it after seeing it ...slap your own hand ....shame on you as well .... the zombies would have been fine .....didnt need flashlight eyes .... like some kind of lo pan from big trouble in little china cos play tryhards ....

also the brothers in the beginning ...lol.. great omage to the original .... but jesus man ... casting the newest indie rapper "lil jonny" there ....lol.... bro ... your face got more tats than a biker rally ........ i hope your sound cloud career go good for you because man ..if it dont ..... jeez ...lol

so ...sorry gang but unoriginal gets you beat down ...underservingly though because you did a decent job BUT should have just called it for what it was ....rebirth of the living dead ....

3/10

EDIT: upon minor research ...... this is in fact a remake of the original night of the living dead and is also in fact being updated to a newer generation ... LOL ... wow ... i called it on accident .... so now how do i feel about my score is the question .....

...when folks who don't really know how to make movies make a movie. They end up Dunning-Krugering themselves into producing messes like "Rebirth," a scratch-and-dent remake of the seminal zombie classic, George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." It's tone deaf in almost every respect, sad to say, and I have to put it on the quaking shoulders of faux auteur Roger Connors, who in writing/directing/co-producing and starring in the benighted project, has mystifyingly chosen to put a gay slant on things that plays poorly and adds nothing to the story. I'm not going to pick at the corpse; others have already done that here. I simply mean to caution potential viewers against any expectations of quality filmmaking, because you won't find any. "Rebirth" is as pure an example of Sturgeon's Revelation as you might ask.

TL/DR: Low return entertainment even if you don't value your precious, irreplaceable time.
