Sophmore slump for George Romero
19 November 1999
George Romero's second movie is not quite as successful as his classic first movie, "Night of the Living Dead." The mood, atmosphere and directing ability that Romero usually has in his movies are absent here. The cinetography is really grainy, the acting is poor and half the dialogue is garbled beyond comprehension. The story isn't too good and it's sometimes hard to tell what's going on or what the film's really about. Fortunately, Romero made many other fine films after this, proving he wasn't a one-hit-wonder. Watch Romero's "Dead" trilogy or just about any of his other films. But this is probably his weakest effort.
