Did you see the original? It was not as much for the visual horror as it was for the process behind containing it. But Romero is always about that in his movies.

It seems to me that what most folks (apart from, perhaps, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in their 28 Days... franchise) who are inspired by Romero seem to miss is his focus being not upon the horror of the undead, but the horror of the survivors, the fact that they (as Robert Kirkman put it in his The Walking Dead comic book series) are tuly the 'walking dead'.
