Saw this a while back, but need to comment on it. Not a very good zombie movie. Basically, the only original thing here that other zombie movies have not done was that the zombie outbreak occurs during a student filming a movie. What this means is the ole' shaky camera and lots of yelling coming from off screen. Think Blair Witch, Cloverfield, only with zombies. Feel like this has been overdone enough times already.
Romero was going for some sort of commentary about the internet, social networking, maybe something claiming that Web 2.0 is making a culture of narcissism, but the analogy is not clear what this has to do with zombies. Are zombies narcissistic? Does tweeting and facebook mean you are not thinking? It just doesn't really fit very well like some of his previous social commentaries using the zombie stuff. Really, I'm stretching with this as well. The connection is not very clear, nor is the theme of the movie.
