I have always admired the films of Romero and there can be no doubt that he is the godfather of zombie films. Alas, i think he should have finished his zombie career with day of the dead. Land of the dead... Full review

What is it with the classic directors; Spielberg, Carpenter, and now Romero, that they seem to produce such abysmal drivel as they get older? Dennis Leary once joked that Elvis should have been killed young so that people only remembered him... Full review

Sometimes, user comments on IMDb can be misleading! One comment recently suggested that this film is Romero returning to his roots, and suggested that this film ranks up there with the best of his 'dead' films. Respectfully, I disagree...very, VERY MUCH!... Full review

This syndrome kept "Cloverfield" on the run, but in many ways it's more provocatively handled in " George A. Romero 's Diary of the Dead," which is funny and sad and rather sweet as zombie pictures go.
Diary of the Dead" begins with newscasters filming a crime scene that turns into our bloody reintroduction to Romero's beloved, slow-moving but determined zombies.

With DIARY OF THE DEAD, he continues his work in that most unusual of mediums, making this incarnation as fresh, as timely, and as grotesquely funny as all that he has purveyed before.
He is setting us up for later and rather than a clumsy foreshadowing, it is as welcome as a familiar song.
