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.
