‘Jason and a small crew of college students are in the Pennsylvania woods shooting a low-budget mummy flick for their film-school project. Their faux frights are replaced with real ones when news reports indicate that the dead are returning to life. Attacked by ravenous walking corpses at every turn, Jason obsessively films the madness, an unflinching eye in the midst of chaos, even as his friends die around him. In Diary of the Dead, George A. Romero rewinds and takes the audience back to the start of his legacy of horror, using the device of Jason’s “documentary” to explore the mass panic of a world gone mad.’ Toronto Film Festival
