The zombies do the things they do because they pretty much have no other choice, almost as if they were animals.they're just going on instinct. They're doing this completely while being completely cognizant of their actions. The humans are just as bad, if not worse, than the zombies themselves because the humans take great pride in killing, torturing, and burning all the zombies. While the original had the civil rights struggle as the undercurrent for its ending, this film makes the use of the inhumanity that arises itself when the zombies are "defeated" at the end of the film. The ending, while different from the original, still has that social commentary that Romero was known for. She undergoes a transformation throughout the film, from weak to badass, whereas Ripley was just badass right from the start. But from what I can remember, this is a pretty faithful remake with a few tweaks here and there, mostly Patricia Tallman's character almost a ripoff of Ripley from the Alien films. I've seen the original Night of the Living Dead, but it was so long ago that I don't even remember much of it, so that'll have to be rectified as the original film is on Netflix.
