George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead
Series: Film Comment Selects 2008 [Feb 14 - Feb 28]
Director: George A. Romero, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 95

Join us for an advance preview of one of 2008’s absolute movie highlights — yes, they’re back. Romero’s flesh-eating zombies return to Day One of the director’s living dead cycle, updated and repurposed as a terrifying road movie for the DV-savvy, media-skeptical YouTube generation. As their world disintegrates under the onslaught of the undead, a student film crew documents everything on video while making a desperate cross-country dash to hoped-for safety. Tapping into the current mood in America, Diary of the Dead is a genuinely scary post-Iraq, post-Katrina nightmare. For more, read Robin Wood’s appreciation in the Jan/Feb issue of Film Comment.
