DETAILS
- Filming is set to begin October 11 in Toronto.
- Budgeted at a little under $5-million.
- It's said that the film will likely be very Blair Witch-esque with footage primarily being seen through the eyes of a camcorder.
- This will be Romero going back to his low-budget roots, with the idea of possibly even releasing it straight-to-DVD, where he'll have more freedom to do what he wants.
- Produced by Romero-Grunwald Productions and Artfire Films.
- George A. Romero will write and direct this.

whoever wrote the script needs to look into his stuff a bit more, tho the scripting in this film was much better than some other recent horror films (cough cough mother of tears). and george romero as a director did a great job and im proud of this. i just hope his new film solitary isle or woteva has some better scripting.
"Despite being shot in the POV of the camera, the footage itself is actually pretty clean and almost movie-quality, which kind of defeats the purpose."
The cameras they're using are digital, and the people filming are *film students* - of course it's going to be better quality than the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield. I'm actually glad it's quite crisply done, because I go to the cinema to see a movie, not a collection of home videos.
Some of the acting wasn't fantastic, but it was compelling, and as the review states, it has some great deaths and even better zombies (the nurse zombie's cool, as is the clown). Far better than Land, and the remakes of Dawn and Day.
