This remake of George A. Romero’s hugely influential genre classic isn’t awful so much as it is entirely pointless—especially with Romero staying on as screenwriter/executive producer. While the story remains basically the same—a group of survivors hole up inside an abandoned farmhouse during a zombie attack—the original’s unnerving, documentary-style realism is replaced with a generic horror flick atmosphere.
This time, Barbara (Patricia Tallman) isn’t a fragile woman scared for her life, but an accomplished butt-kicker of the living dead. While the zombie makeup effects are noticeably improved (thanks to the legendary Savini being at the helm), the remake fails in nearly every other aspect—especially in regards to the ending, which royally screws up the shocking, powerful finale of the original.

I love this list, but you left off the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", from the worst horror remakes list. It didn't have the hysteria factor of the original, also, it just didn't terrify me like the original film.
