It actually pisses me off how bad this was. A guy like Romero shouldn't be making garbage like this. IMO, it's so simple to do a decent zombie flick. The premise and setup were so poor.
What a disappointment! Pure shit!!
Like his entire career.
This is as bad as the super indy films being made by nobodies and for a name like Romero that is sad. I said somewhere else, he needs to make a good film before he dies or his comeback will have ruined his legacy.
Uwe Boll is a better filmmaker as it stands today.
I thought the set and premise were actually good. A remote island that, supposed, escaped the zombie infection, only to deal with a family feud. Unfortunately it all went to shit about halfway through when Romero said, "Unleash the zombies!"
One of the worst Zombie movies I've ever seen... And I've seen them all. Well, not all -- But I've seen 90% of them I'm thinking.
This, much like Land and Diary are huge disservice to his 3 main zombie films. And that's what's sad. When you put it into perspective like that, Romero has really only made 3 good films in his life.
Dawn Day Creepshow
Those are really, in all honesty, the only 3 films of his I really loved and learned from. Night of the Living dead isn't that good. Savini's remake was leaps and bounds better.
Romero was a right time, right place and, at the time, no market saturation example of the Hollywood story.
Say what you will about Night of the Living Dead, but it was ground breaking...shocking...appalling. It did an awful lot for film making in general - graphic violence, a black lead actor, and a downright shocking ending that goes against everything most film makers hold sacred.
Savini's remake was very good, IMO. I've always been surprised how poorly it was received.
