Why it’s HorroRated
Tom Savini's remake of Night of the Living Dead is one of the rare cases where a horror remake truly earns its existence. Romero's screenplay sharpens the social commentary of the original and Patricia Tallman's Barbara is a complete rewrite of the character in the best possible way. A faithful reimagining that stands on its own.
Synopsis
Tom Savini's remake keeps Romero's screenplay while updating the effects and completely rewriting Barbara's character. Patricia Tallman's Barbara is active and resourceful rather than catatonic, which changes the film's dynamics considerably. A remake that argues for its own existence by doing one important thing differently than the original.
