One needn't be a splatter junkie to miss Romero's marshalling of action across multiple theaters. But the maestro finds a way to slay intellectual and aesthetic antsiness with the same bullet.May 08, 2010
In Romero's apocalypse, the brutish and soulless hold sway, and that's just the humans.April 14, 2008
