Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The first remake of Night of the Living Dead (1968), directed by Tom Savini.Two siblings are attacked by zombies when they go to visit their mother's grave. The survivor of the duo, Barbara, makes her way to a farmhouse that starts housing others like her. However, their solace is only temporary, and they are are soon besieged by the living dead.The film was created, in part, as an attempt to restore the copyright of the original film, but Romero and Russo also took the opportunity to improve on some of the weaker elements of the original film, and to produce a more cinematic experience. The film did poorly critically and commercially, but has gained a cult following over the years.

Judy and Tom didn't have much personality in the original. Here they're country kids, with Judy taking on the role of a Screaming Woman more than once.

Adaptation Personality Change: Helen was frequently at odds with her husband in the original. Here she's more submissive to him at first, only rebelling as the film goes on. Judy and Tom didn't have much personality in the original. Here they're country kids, with Judy taking on the role of a Screaming Woman more than once.

Adaptational Badass: The most notable change from the original is upgrading the character of Barbara from The Load into an Action Girl. Judy takes a while but gets there too. She seems to get over her trauma halfway through and calls Ben and Cooper out on their fighting. Likewise in the original she just panicked when Tom left the house and was forced to go along to the gas pump - whereas here she offers to drive to help Ben and Tom out.

Adaptation Name Change: Downplayed with Barbra, who is now Barbara. Karen Cooper's first name is changed to Sarah. Minor example. It was just Judy in the original. Now it's Judy Rose.
