If they wanted it the same they got it right. It is exactly like the 1968 original, I was hoping for something of a remake like the 1990 film with a slightly altered story. The scenery is even the same with the same 'camera angles' most of the time. Since have seen the '68 version so many times I can say the next line annoying my girlfriend and for that it is awesome. Hope they do Dawn of the Dead.
