I have seen the 90's remake, but it's been years. I remember liking it, and I'd actually really love to see it again in light of the modern trend in zombie films and see how it compares. Thanks for bringing it up! Hi Nacholino, thanks for stopping by.

I have seen the 90′s remake, but it’s been years. I remember liking it, and I’d actually really love to see it again in light of the modern trend in zombie films and see how it compares. Thanks for bringing it up!

I always enjoy your film comments and learn a lot from them. I wonder if you know Tom Savini's remake of the Night. It was done in the 90's, and the girl's character is less passive than in the original. I think it is worth a look (and zombies are of the slow type, thank god). Great comment, absolutely brilliant.

I had seen that uber set of Dawn on DVD, but I'm not sure if what I got from Netflix was a part of that or not. Watching it again after all these years has convinced me to go out and buy it on DVD though. I still have a few old VHSs kicking around myself, probably not anything that couldn't be had on DVD though. Thanks Bruce and Nathan.

Those 500+ VHS tapes are still with me, and being added to daily by the "newbies" all hatched on DVD! I'm sure you know that Dawn was released in a delux boxed set - all the versions (Euro, US cinema release, Romero s cut, and I think another one?...) with some extras and commentary by the actors, etc. Blade Runner is a nice parallel to Dawn with it's emphasis on the beauty of life and the future......

I haven't seen this version in years. I loved the reference to the old VHS B-movies. With the advent of DVD I wonder how many of these films will ever see the light of day in the new format?
