George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead, the fifth installment in Romero’s Night of the Living Dead

From legendary frightmaster George A. Romero comes “one of the most daring, hypnotic and
absolutely vital horror films of the past decade” (Fangoria). Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies while struggling for their own survival. Intensely gruesome
and 
relentlessly grisly – fueled by the director’s signature realistic special effects – Diary of the Dead is must-see horror that “is Romero at his finest” (Bloody Disgusting).
