A solid and contemporary shift to Romero's template of his magnum opus. Just right for the times. ...Hoping the bizarre ways of these strange days will encourage Romero and other filmmakers of his ilk to make further installments in their franchises, and at least get SOMETHING good from all of this crap 2016 America finds itself in...

It was an ok movie. I didn't like that you could only watch it through their camera view. I also didn't like that if you died you became a zombie. Even if you weren't bitten.

"What a piece of trash!" Is what I would like to say about this movie. Because Romero has made it personal and criticized my favorite zombie franchise of all time. Of course, this is not healthy. I do not know the man, and it really is not personal. But I do have the urge to get back at him and his hardcore following that I feel can be quite pretentious when touting his work as some genius social/political commentary…
