It seems like every other day we get a news of yet another NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD sequel, prequel and/or remake. This is just the way the world works and at this point, we need to accept and enjoy (?) it.
Case in point, today we have the poster and trailer for Rising Pulse Productions and Mouse Nest Productions' NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: REBIRTH from writer-director Roger Conners.
The film looks to be a quasi-remake of the original film but set in modern day and (possibly) with the roles of Johnny and Barbara reversed. Not too sure. Check out the synopsis below for more details.
After that you can check out the trailer to see what you think below, along with the poster and then make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments below or on social media!
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: REBIRTH synopsis:
What begins as an annual visit to their family gravesite quickly becomes a night of sheer terror as two brothers are unexpectedly forced to fight back against a sudden onslaught of violent assailant. Soon, eight complete strangers find themselves barricaded inside a rural farmhouse in an attempt to survive against the ever-growing army of murderous creatures outside.
As the night drags on, they soon begin to realize that the real threat is not what’s trying to get inside.
It’s each-other.
Not so much a remake as it is a modern-day retelling of the ground-breaking horror masterpiece, Rebirth will attempt to tackle the human and political topics the original piece is so recognized for and readdress them from a modern angle. Topics acknowledged in the original film such as racial prejudices and government control will be once again brought to the forefront while interjecting the ideas of homophobia and religious influence on modern society.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: REBIRTH is written and directed by Roger Conners and stars Aswan Harris, Roger Conners, and Alvin Hudson. We'll let you know when we hear more about the film!
