Glad someone else sees it like that (although I do think Night is a great film). He's been living off the brilliance of his early films: Martin, Jack's Wife/Season of the Witch, Crazies, Night and Dawn for too long. Day was a playground discussion about militarism and Land seemed to say nothing that anyone with a minimum of social awareness wouldn't already know. Romero is a spent force and has been for almost thirty years now. He's become little more than the Naomi Klein of horror, which is a shame considering his early work was so good. I'll see Diary (as I would any Romero film) but with no expectation that it'll mark anything like a return to the glory of what, for me, remains his best film, Martin.
