George A. Romero wants again to bring back to life the dead in the new zombie movie “George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead.” For all of you out there who don’t know who George A. Romero is, he is the one who produced the 1968 horror black and white movie “Night of the Living Dead,” which turned out to be an inspirational film for many followers and made Romero the first producer of a modern zombie movie. It was the first of the five Dead movies directed by him and it was remade in 1990 and 2006.

In the “Diary of the Dead” Romero decides to go back to the beginning. Is set in the usual Pennsylvania grounds but now we have a bunch of students from the University of Pittsburgh who are trying to make their own horror movie in the woods.

The movie tries to send the message of how much the current generation is obsessed with video footage which is a poor replacement to the real life.

The movie, filmed almost like “The Blair Witch Project”, shows us the chronicles of Jason Creed (Joshua Close), a filmmaker, put together by his girlfriend, Debra (Michelle Morgan).

We learn that what we see is the real thing and not the lies invented by the government.

The film first presents us the happy zombies in the forest which help Jason to shoot the horror movie.

When the crew finds out that something is wrong from footage on TV they all jump in the van to their homes.

During this time, Jason keeps filming everything telling everybody that he does it in order to tell the truth, but in fact he does it to keep in touch with the world outside because is the only way he knows how. The crew obviously get irritated by that fact and Debra even more.

They end up at a farm of a deaf Amish guy trying to fight the zombies who feed with flesh of the humans.

The film was shot entirely with hand-held cameras and was made to look as it was filmed by an eager student.

The aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 66 percent out of 41 critic reviews, while Metacritic scored it with 71 percent, from 16 reviews.

“Mr. Romero pokes and prods and awkwardly struggles with some aftershocks of that day,(September 11) specifically, what happens when a culture — particularly one gripped by fear — is overrun with images, particularly atrocity images, that ostensibly numb and dumb down that culture by blurring the real and the unreal, true life and its canned image. Never mind that movies are part of the mix and that the movies lie too, sometimes beautifully”, says New York Times writer Manohla Dargis.
