"They're coming to get you, Barbara." Luckily she'll be ready this time around. This remake does what I feel is the absolute minimum that any remake should do and that's improve upon its predecessor. While there is no denying the contribution of Romero's original to the horror genre, it was rough around the edges, to say the least. While I will say this one doesn't fully smooth those edges, it certainly does a mighty good job at showing the range of reactions to an unknown life-or-death crisis within 24 hours. 'Night' also exhibits the proper use of social commentary, where it's not shoved down the throat but it is present to all who pay attention. The original played on racism and this one switched to sexism but neither sacrificed the story for a social agenda spotlight. This is not a zombie movie, but rather a movie with zombies in it, and the same can be said for its original. I dug it and it's relieving to see a proper remake.
