...years now; it even received a special screening at the Museum of Modern Art. Romero operates out of Pittsburgh, making his films on the cheap. Rather like Skinflick Impresario Russ Meyer, Romero edits his scenes into short blurts, which gives them a certain spurious energy. His scripts, which hover dangerously close to illiteracy, contain outrageously pedestrian dialogue, mostly shouted. ("Get Dr. Brookmyre a gas mask!")
