Which is better?

2004

1978.

VERY DIFFERENT FILMS DESPIT THE TITLE AND ZOMBIES...I BELIEVE THEM TO BE FAIRLY EQUAL.

1978. The ending made more sense.

That was a social commentary film.


2004 is a roller coaster ride. It's not as deep but fun.

1978 version by far. Much more likable characters.

Honestly I thought they were both about the same. I'll probably get eaten for saying this ,but I thought the original was a bit dated ,and at times it dragged a little. I didn't really care for the commentary stuff either. I will admit one thing though it was really impressive that the film made for around half a million. Overall I thought it was a decent B-movie with cheap makeup and special effects.

The remake on the other hand was okay, it had a pretty good start. The movie was certainly entertaining to watch playing off like an action thriller compared to the slow paced horror original. The problem with the movie however is that the ending was ridiculous. The movie just ends on a cliffhanger its like the director of the movie didn't know how to end the movie or something.

Overall while I thought both films were different. I'd probably rate them both about the same a 6/10.

No contest.

The 1978 original is the best.

Thanks to everyone for the replies.
