Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead: When a remake goes right
from FRUMESS · host Jeff Frumess
Not all remakes are bad. Sometimes they have the ability to be incredible in their own way and sometimes they can even surpass the original. While that is not the case with Night of the Living Dead 1968 and Night of the Living Dead 1990, it certainly should be considered the gold standard for remaking a classic masterpiece. Today, we take a look at why that might be. FRUMESS is POWERED by www.riotstickers.com/frumess GET 1000 STICKERS FOR $79 RIGHT HERE - NO PROMO CODE NEED!

Romero's Dawn of the Dead) is a 1990 American horror film directed by Tom Savini (in his feature directorial debut) and starring Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman. It is a remake of George A. Romero's 1968 film of the same title; Romero rewrote the original 1968 screenplay he had originally co-authored with John A. Russo.[4][5] Like the original, the film follows seven strangers as they meet and survive in a rural farmhouse, following the awakening of cannibalistic zombies. It is the only "official" remake of the 1968 film, with other "unofficial" remakes coming out after, as a result of the source material's lack of copyright ownership (resulting in being in the public domain). Night of the Living Dead was released by Columbia Pictures in the United States on October 19, 1990. The film received negative reviews upon initial release and grossed $5.8 million against a $4.2 million budget. Modern reviews have been more positive.
