A ragtag group barricade themselves in an old Pennsylvania farmhouse to remain safe from a horde of flesh-eating ghouls ravaging the Northeast.
Tom Savini's remake of Romero's classic is a competent but largely unnecessary retread of the original's premise, offering little beyond updated gore effects and a revised ending that gives Barbara more agency. The acting is serviceable with Tony Todd bringing gravitas, and the cinematography is polished but unremarkable for the era. Its main distinction is the altered ending, which provides a modest twist on the source material, but the film remains fundamentally derivative of the 1968 original, limiting its novelty considerably.
