11 Horror Movie Remakes Coming In 2017

11. Night Of The Living Dead: Reloaded

Due in part to a failure to properly protect Night of the Living Dead by copyright, the film has technically been in the public domain since its 1968 release. This has spawned a whole host of remakes including, but by no means limited to, the Tom Savini directed and George A. Romero written 1990 remake, a 3D interpretation made by Jeff Broadstreet in 2006, and James Plumb’s Wales set take, Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection.

The latest director to take on the film is Michael A. Isaacs – whose other credits include post-apocalyptic TV miniseries Deaderfied and horror short Bubba-Blue – in an independent, crowdfunded project featuring a cast of relatively unknown actors and produced by Necrocity Entertainment. So far, it seems to pretty much follow the storyline of Romero’s original, though the iconic character of Ben originally played by Duane Jones, seems to be swapped for a female incarnation of the role.

We’ll reserve judgement for the time being, but given the quality of the majority of Night of the Living Dead remakes, we’re not pinning our hopes too high on this one.
