Seems to me that once a masterpiece is done, the responsable for it is condemned by the purists to keep doing exactly the same work over and over again, just to please them.
If Diary of the Dead was Romero's first zombie movie, it would be considered one of the most astonishing of the decade.
Films like these were meant for fun, and the director was surely able to keep the funny stuff on a high gear after all these years throwing different elements on a similar basis.
The storyline is striking. It follows a group of students trying to go home after the sudden rise of the living dead. You won't care about them, because they're annoying as they can be. So, when they start to get munched away, all you got to do is sit back and enjoy the graphic violence.
The plot development runs faster as a speeding bullet, and you'll never get bored.
One of the aspects I like the most about his films is the atmosphere of impending horror. Since the first frame you feel that there's no way out, even for the good guys.
The gore scenes are spectacularly made and the direction is impeccable, as always.
Romero is back to what he does best.
Great movie.
