When they do, there is no sense of terror to see that all of the country is now in the hand of the dead (just think back to the intense opening scenes of "Day of the Dead"). The guards of the city can drive around in their armored truck. If you know Romero's "Night of the living Dead", or its two sequels, you know the feeling. The foreboding that it will all be over soon. How ironic that he, who invented the modern zombie film, would now produce a film that is inferior to Zack Snyder's Remake of the Romero-directed "Dawn of the Dead". It is said that only after the success of modern zombie films like "28 Days later" and the "Dawn of the Dead"-Remake, Romero was given the money to make his own new zombie film.
Romero returned to the theme that made him famous. The potential of "Land of the Dead" lies solely in the fact that legendary filmmaker George A. "Lady Jane" (1986), "Lost in Space" (1998) and "Planet of the Apes" (2001) are some examples. There are films that had great potential but failed and it is so very obvious what went wrong that it's hard to believe that no one during production noticed it.
