I'd have to say I'm starting to agree with Mitch although Romero has enough movies for me to qualify as a relevant director. the crazies remake i thought was horrible, the latest zombie movie with the lucky charms irish/scotish people was absolutely god awfull. A high school film student could make a better movie than that. Romero needs to follow the dawn of the dead remake and use fast zombies and give us some people to root for.
oh how the mighty have fallen, watching an interview with George is worse then watching my grandfather slowly waste away from Alzheimer's.
I love Romero's work when it is concise, fun, and more than just slasher or typical horror films. Martin, Night Of The Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead are all masterpieces of their genre. However the turning point for me in his work is Day of the Dead. It starts out great and plummits into blandness that he has never recoved from. However, most if not all of his films are well worth seeing, and many bear a strong voice for social commentary through the blood, guts, and gore, and that make Romero a worthy auteur in more than one sense.
