Trailer for Romero's Diary of the Dead

...also includes one full scene further down the page (CAUTION: Gory).

Mixed reviews on that site, comparing the trailer to the scene. But, come on, it's a zombie movie for cryin' out loud! What do they expect, Citizen Kane?

Romero zombies don't say "braaains." You only get that on the Russo side of the Romero/Russo split, as in Return of the Living Dead.

No zombie geek cred for you. [Razz]

Indeed, Romero zombies were flesh-eating, not brain eating.

As evidenced by the mom eating the hand.

Gotta pick everything apart, don't ya? Sheesh!

You all would go see a movie like and be correcting the zombie mob's grammar while in the theater, wouldn't you?

That would be HILARIOUS.

Not in the slightest. (For one thing that'd involve talking during the movie. For another, Romero zombies don't have grammar. [Wink] ) But I'd delightedly discuss the finer points of genre trivia on the ride home. The entire "braaains" trope is traceable back to a single movie, in which the zombies could actually talk pretty much normally.

Return of the Living Dead and its sequels are a different branch of zombie movie than Romero's ____ of the Dead movies. The zombies act, function, and spread completely differently. It's important to know which kind of zombie you're dealing with, unless you like getting eaten.

That was my first thought when I saw the title.
