In the new horror film, which is inspired by the classic 1968 zombie pic Night of the Living Dead co-written and directed by George A. Romero, it has been over 50 years since Night of the Living Dead’s original zombie attack and the horrific event has become the subject of morbid nostalgia. Looking for fun, Ashand her friends attend the Festival of the Living Dead, but it is disrupted when a blast of radioactive space dust hits the festival and they must defend themselves or be devoured by the living dead.
