...movie. “Diary of the Dead” marks Romero’s return to the world of independent filmmaking, and this movie proves to be his most experimental yet. While not everything works quite right, and horror fans looking for more of the over-the-top gore of “Land of the Dead” will surely be disappointed, the film’s commentary is unquestionably relevant.
