Night of the Living Dead is a 1990 American supernatural horror film directed by Tom Savini in his feature directorial debut, and starring Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman. It is a remake of George A. Romero's 1968 film of the same title; Romero rewrote the original 1968 screenplay he had originally co-authored with John A. Russo. Like the original, the film follows seven strangers as they meet and survive in a rural farmhouse, following the awakening of zombies. It is the only official remake of the 1968 film, with other unofficial remakes following, as a result of the source material's lack of copyright ownership which resulted in it being in the public domain.
