One needn't be a splatter junkie to miss Romero's marshalling of action across multiple theaters. But the maestro finds a way to slay intellectual and aesthetic antsiness with the same bullet.April 14, 2008
It's clever, or at least clever enough to keep you going and interested from start to finish. It just isn't scary.March 07, 2008
Like the recent 'Cloverfield', Romero uses the kinetic immediacy of digital video shot on-the-run, but in a more sophisticated and disturbing way.July 16, 2008
We want to high-five Romero for finding new ways to off his lifeless marauders.March 06, 2008
It's a shame to speak ill of the dead, but Romero leaves us no alternative.August 27, 2009
Trenchantly implicates the media into the ongoing apocalypse that in previous Dead chapters already included family, capitalism, the military, class dividesJuly 17, 2009
A sly but low-level zombie movie for the YouTube crowd.May 08, 2010
In Romero's apocalypse, the brutish and soulless hold sway, and that's just the humans.April 28, 2011
Not the best but certainly far from the worst of Romero's series of accounts of an epidemic of dead people coming to life to eat the living.October 18, 2008
For Romero, someone who still retains respect and admiration for previous work, Diary of the Dead points to the realization that it is time to close the door on zombie movies and move to other horror subjects.June 10, 2008
Not only the most satisfying motion picture Romero has made in a long while, but one of the best of his career.February 17, 2008
Hardly top-drawer Romero. In fact, it may be his worst zombie film yet. But even bad Romero is a far sight more interesting than the coolly sadistic guts-porn that currently passes for mainstream horror.
