June 2025 – “They’re not coming back… for your brain. They’re coming back for everything.”
In a shocking resurrection of one of horror’s most iconic films, Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures have unveiled the teaser trailer for Night of the Living Dead (2025) — a bold, brutal reinvention of George A. Romero’s 1968 classic. Directed by rising horror auteur Jennifer Reeder, the new film is not a remake, but a modern continuation of the original nightmare — one that reimagines the zombie outbreak through a terrifying lens of social collapse and viral rage.
🧟 Plot Overview
Set in a near-future America still reeling from environmental disasters and political unrest, Night of the Living Dead (2025) follows a group of strangers trapped inside a remote rural farmhouse as reports of violent, reanimated corpses begin to spread across the region. But this time, the infection isn’t just physical — it’s digital.
The dead are rising, and they’re connected. Their movements, their targets… all seem orchestrated. And what begins as a desperate fight for survival soon becomes a twisted unraveling of truth: the living may not be so different from the dead after all.
