In this remake of the classic 1968 film, a group of people are trapped inside a farmhouse as legions of the walking dead try to get inside and use them for food.

'Night of the Living Dead' remake is lauded for enhanced acting, especially Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman, and better special effects. Barbara's stronger role is a noted improvement. However, critics argue it lacks the original's atmosphere and tension, with a less impactful ending. The color cinematography, though realistic, is sometimes faulted for losing the original's eerie feel. Some view the remake's close adherence to the original plot as redundant.
