HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.5 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Diary of the Dead”:

This is serious stuff that’s done with serious élan from a young cast. “Diary of the Dead” is a great film by a veteran raconteur. There is sensational exhibition in Romero’s filming technique. In pushing the zombie envelope, Romero makes a poignant statement on our selfish, fear-based society.
