New Night of the Living Dead Review- from watching the trailer.
Tom Savini already made the remake / reboot of Night of the Living Dead... George Romero was right there on set, Just like Savini was for Dawn, Day and Land. It is the only feature film Savini has made.

The 2026 Remake, on IMDB is called "Based on the Original Film Night Of The Living Dead" is Directed by Christopher Ray... According to IMDB Ray has 26 directing credits, before the Night remake he made War of the Worlds: Extinction, before that he made Attack of the M**h Gator, Top Gunner: America vs Russia.. Romero and John Russo Made Night, Romero explored his world further in its sequels. Russo look the "Living dead on it's own path.. Savini put his finger prints on Night with the 1990 remake - and Nicotero world built Romero's Day of the Dead with The Walking Dead tv series and all its spinoffs...

Night of the Living Dead is public domain, you can make a night of the living dead... but if you do, please don't sully the name of the OG. and Please Please Please filmmakers - world build.. Night of the Living Dead is about the first night the dead return and start to eat the living.. It lends it self well to unlimited untold stories about where people were when it happened. Romero did a farm house so did Savini.. We don't need to go back to the farmhouse anymore unless Nicotero does (oh wait Walking Dead Season 2)... Night 3d with Sid Haig did it at a funeral home. The point is, Night remakes should be kept on the pedestal it deserves. To Inspire and be a guiding light for filmmakers to make their own path in the dead world -- and Make You OWN Damn Movie.
