I’m a real big fan of Romero’s zombie movies but this thing is a turd. I’m sitting here watching it right now and I keep palming my forehead. I watched it when it first came out a year or two ago and thought it was great. Re-watching it though I’m finding all sorts of things that are bugging the crap out of me. The whole mansion scene towards the end of the film is total crap. When the mummy character is showing the rest of the characters where he put his family they zoom in on his bloody hand. Great foreshadowing there! But instead of leaving it at they have the cameraman character state that he saw the blood on his hand. Again they could have left it there and been OK. But instead of leaving it at either of those two points they FLASH BACK TO THE BLOODY HAND. My forehead still hurts from hitting it so hard. What in the heck was Romero thinking? I understand that not all zombie movies are that great. There are tons of things done in them just to make them entertaining but boy was I glad when the cameraman character died. I couldn’t stand the guy. Especially when he just sat there and video taped the hot chick in the dress running away from the mummy character after he had turned into a zombie. Damn dude just put the camera down and help her! I don’t care how badly you want to make a documentary. Stupid film students…
