Old stories that can't keep up with the rhythm of the times

This film is a remake of Carpenter's 76 years old film, and it was very disappointing after watching it.
Whether it's Romero or Carpenter, as the pioneers of a certain subtype, their works naturally have their time limitations. For example, "Dawn of the Living Dead", the 04 version is much better than the 78 version. The times have progressed, the zombies have become stronger, and the action scenes have become more compact and exciting. Fans who like to watch cult, of course want to see exciting action scenes that keep pace with the times. Regrettably, the action scenes in this film are severely unable to keep up, which is very uninteresting. This level was so-so when placed a few decades ago, let alone now, it is very unqualified.
