Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Basically a glamorized DVD extra, but it entertains.

rotten:
Fans won't learn much from it that they didn't already know.

fresh:
Mr. Romero, manifesting a self-effacing demeanor and sensible humanity, is a most agreeable raconteur.

fresh:
Kuhns makes time for political insights, provocative montages of race riots cut with the movie's hick militia, and the comments of owlish Romero himself, who recounts the shoot like the enthusiastic 27-year-old he was.

fresh:
What distinguishes this doc from much of the tedious critical prose Romero has inspired is the fan-boy and fan-girl ardor that fuels its smarts - both behind and in front of the camera.
