Didn't bother watching Diary... after someone said it was worse.

Guessing he's just lost it.

I thought they were both great, especially "Diary..." which I thought was superb.

I agree.
I don't think Romero has 'lost' anything, really...
His zombie films are still loaded with intelligent satire, and social/ political commentary, while most other horror filmmakers prefer to concentrate on simplistic displays of blood 'n' guts. At least with Romero, we always get a subtext with the gore.

I didn't rate Land or Diary either.

Revisited Nights Of Terror (Burial Ground). Features zombies that can scale walls, manipulate scythes and use a battering ram. Absolutely darft all-round silliness but essential viewing at least once. Possibly more if you need a laugh.

I'd agree with most of you too. Land and Diary are nothing compared to Night, Dawn and Day. To be honest, they both feel as though he's trying too hard to add social commentary and do what he is known for. It just comes across TOOO heavy especially with Diary

Plus the CGI blood doesn't always look too great.

Saying that I'll still his Survival

Just finished watching The Hills Run Red - finally got around to watching it (one less on the to-watch pile now! ) and really enjoyed it. It started of with a fairly original take on the slasher genre but then it stated to get super cliched. Still it was a lot of fun even if the self-referencing stuff (a la Scream), I felt, was slightly too heavy.

im shocked at the dislike of Land and Diary, when you think Land was the first zombie film he made in 20 years, i thought it was awesome, good script although a lot was cut from the original script. a pretty good cast, good gore, i just thoroughly enjoyed it, as for diary, at first i was a bit unsure but after a few more viewings it's actually a better film than most people give it credit, Even though not as successful as Land, Romero's zombie flicks still out rank anything done in this genre.
