want to re visit the genre he create and george romero approach tom savini to direct a remake of his 1968 masterpiece and night of the living dead . while the film follow the original closely and it do have some important change . notably the character of barbara be no longer a gibber vegetable but now much more balanced . other change help blend the film much well into romeros dawn and day . the use of tool by the zombie for example and be lessen and remove at time and create more continuity between night and dawn and day and lands time line of the undeads ability . some seem to automatically shoot down the remake in favor of the original and i have watch this version almost a many time a dawn and day and and believe the film top the original in almost every way . although the groundbreaking nature of the original will always remain and savini dead be a without doubt a classic zombie flick and in my opinion a perfect first chapter in the romero dead series .
