Not only the most satisfying motion picture Romero has made in a long while, but one of the best of his career.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
It's clever, or at least clever enough to keep you going and interested from start to finish. It just isn't scary.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Rotten
It's a shame to speak ill of the dead, but Romero leaves us no alternative.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Hardly top-drawer Romero. In fact, it may be his worst zombie film yet. But even bad Romero is a far sight more interesting than the coolly sadistic guts-porn that currently passes for mainstream horror.
