thumb|250px|link=Night of the Living Dead is a zombie horror film released in 1990. It is a remake of George A. Romero's 1968 classic, Night of the Living Dead, and was directed by horror make-up legend Tom Savini. Romero himself rewrote the original film's 1968 screenplay that he had co-authored with John A. Russo. Although the initial reaction to the film was wholly negative, it's reputation has changed over the years and the movie is now accepted a minor gem of nineties zombie horror. Acclaimed horror film critic Alan Jones, for example, has previously said "...with great zombie effects and gripping suspense, this is one remake that's better than anyone had a right to expect."
