The best zombie fiction is the kind where we, the humans, are the REAL monsters. Zombie movies have a long tradition of being social commentary, something that a certain non-Romero zombie film, 28 Days Later, does quite well.

Part of the fun about L4D (at least when you first came out) was that you did see REAL players losing it under certain circumstances. Once you become an action star the game becamse a lot less exciting, though still fun.

George Romero stopped being an authority on zombies in entertainment after Day of the Dead was released. He's pumped out such shit in the last decade. This is like modern day George Lucas criticizing someones sci-fi universe.

Yeah, that used to be what your films were about Romero, I agree.
Too bad you've completely lost that spark and now your films are just dull and lost.

Maybe now he'll write a film that's good that's not called Dawn of the Dead, AMIRITE?

" +What the hell he wanted to direct Resident Evil? "

I, for one, think slow zombies suck.

but seriously, folks: 
 
his career peaked with Dawn of the Dead.  that was a while ago.

Thanks for sharing this link! But the interviewer seems like a fool.

There is definite truth to this. "

Left 4 Dead is about killing hundreds of zombies 
Not about story or character development 
Zombies, blood, guns, the end

I almost cried when he put zombies on horses waving weapons around in his last movie. Now everything he says is invalid.  Our only hope remains with the new Max Brooks films, the only true zombie lore left. "

28 days later remains my favorite zombie movie so far. I guess my favorite "slow" zombie movie would be......I don't know. Slow zombies are boring.

For a moment I thought it was John Romero. Bummer.
