I watched a Zombie flick… again

George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead is the fifth movie of Romero’s zombie series which is dark, creepy and funny too.
Romero’s story follows a group of college film students who are caught up in the ongoing mass chaos that ensues when the dead start to rise up and feast on the living. As the movie begins they are shooting a mummy picture out in the woods in rural Pittsburgh when news reports of the zombie attacks interrupt them.
The director of the group decides to keep shooting and the resulting film, “The Death of Death,” we are told in voice over, has been finished as a tribute to the now dead filmmaker. The plot follows the cast
as they race around in a Winnebago trying to outrun the carnage and mayhem and there are side trips to a dormitory, an emergency room, and a McMansion, the home of one of the characters.
