Night of the Living Dead Reanimated

This is a work of sheer genius. Nearly 150 artists from around the world were given the chance to pick a scene from the classic George Romero zombie flick, Night of the Living Dead, and re-imagine it in any way they wanted. The film creators then took all the footage they had and, using the complete soundtrack (including dialogue) from the original masterpiece, rebuilt the movie to be something that is completely different, but chillingly the same. The scares from the movie you remember are still there, underscored with some fresh ones you won’t see coming until It’s too late. Trying to figure out exactly what why they put the footage together they way they did, at least form a visual standpoint, will drive you crazy. (You can watch the extras to find out.) It’s best to just let it flow and enjoy it.
