Plot

A group of embattled humans fend off hordes of walking dead in a secluded farmhouse in Western Pennsylvania. However, interpersonal feuding between the people in a house proves just as deadly as the zombie attack. This article is about the U.S. State. ...

The story follows the same essential story of the original Night of the Living Dead, but with slight alterations. Ben (Tony Todd) and Harry (Tom Towles) both get shot by each other and become wounded. Ben stumbles down to the basement as the zombies finally enter into the house. Ben then limps to a chair and finds keys to the gas pump, which was destroyed when Tom, desperate to get gasoline, tries to shoot the lock and misses, causing the station to blow up, killing him and Judy. Ben then spits his last cigarette out of his mouth and begins laughing at the irony of it all as the mass of undead bang on the door. Later, when Barbara returns to the house with a zombie hunting posse, she realizes Ben has become a zombie. A member of the posse then shoots him. Barbara is standing in mourning looking at Ben's corpse when Harry (who climbed into the attic and did not turn into a zombie) grabs her arm and says "You came back, you came back" with an extended hand of friendship. Barbara swiftly shoots him in the head. When two of the posse come upstairs to check why shots were fired, Barbara says "There is another one for the fire". Barbara (Patricia Tallman), originally a screaming female horror stereotype, is stronger in this version, and the only surviving person of the farm house.

Production

The film was handled by the same team as the original, with the exception that directing duties were handled by famed special make-up effects artist Tom Savini, who originally signed up with hopes of doing the make-up effects as he was not able to for the original film. Romero served as producer for the remake, and he recruited some of the original camera and sound crew to participate. Laurence Fishburne, Ving Rhames and Eriq La Salle were all considered for the role of Ben. Subsequently, Rhames would go on to play a male lead in the remakes of Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. To avoid an X rating, Savini had to cut several scenes from the film, some of which can be seen on the DVD. Savini sometimes shows the entirety of the cut scenes at conventions.
