    Nothing good here

    Like many of the reviewers here, I am a huge zombie fan, and have (had?) massive respect for Romero. But this film is a very poor effort. It feels like 1 days worth of brainstorming to come up with a premise, followed by 1 more day of script writing. I watched the whole movie detached and uninterested and worst of all, it was completely devoid of that feeling of apocalypse and isolation all other good zombie movies provide.

    Simple fact is, I own all the Romero movies on DVD, all the Resident Evil movies, the Dawn of the Dead remake, 28 days later and 28 weeks later, and a few others ... I'll buy any zombie movie that has at least a few redeeming features to make it special. But, this was so poor and boring that I'm not remotely interested in owning it.

    Can't say more than that.

    Sorry George, but pull your finger out!

    Zombie maestro George A Romero proves us all wrong again: you really can flog a dead horse. Just watch that it doesn't bite you back. This isn't exactly a sequel to the unfolding Night of the Living Dead series (so far 68-year-old Romero has given us Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead, and not a dud among them). Rather, it takes us back to square one and the very first night. The diary idea is similar to the first-person point of view in Cloverfield and The Blair Witch... Read more
