With "George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead," the zombie film pioneer and longtime Pittsburgh resident revisits the formula that gave life to the genre.
After a lackluster trek into Hollywood-style horror flicks with 2005's "Land of the Dead," Romero scaled back his latest endeavor to reflect the indie roots of his groundbreaking "Night of the Living Dead," released 40 years ago.

Bitten by a zombie, his fate sealed, a character in George Romero's new film mutters to a friend, "Shoot me." The friend first points a video camera at the man, then a gun.

WE get the zombies we deserve.
Over five films and four decades the director George A. Romero's slack-jawed undead have been our tour guides through a brainless, barbaric America that seems barely hospitable to the living. They lurch across a bigoted civil-rights-era countryside ("Night of the Living Dead," 1968), claw at a suburban shopping mall ("Dawn of the Dead," 1978) and wander dazed in an anxious post-9/11 world ("Land of the Dead," 2005).
