Nope.

Maybe Tom Savini's remake will be much better.

I seriously doubt it.

Personally i think it's a mess but good fun.

If you didn't like Lenzi's version, I don't think Tom Savini's will be much more to your taste. Personally, I like Lenzi's film in a 'dumb but fun' way – it's not a film with any great sociopolitical subtext (it definitely isn't Day of the Dead in that way), but the ending indicating it may be either a dream or premonition is something which is either brilliant or an ultimate copout.

We both think similar of Lenzi's film then.

I imagine the audience would split into three categories:
1. People who just think it is stupid and boring
2. Those who think it is stupid but fun and
3. Those who really enjoy it and think there is some social commentary, thinking it is a 'misunderstood masterpiece'

Savini's remake of NOTLD (a truly great film) is very good. So, there's a good chance of him remaking a bad film and turning it into something a least good.

I have no doubt it would be something interesting, whether visually, cinematically, aurally, or just to see what Savini does with the story, but whether it will be anything more than Lenzi did with the same narrative is questionable. Simply going by the money situation, I don't know if it will ever be made.
