I'm looking forwards to seeing this again. I saw it at the cinema and thought it was a noble failure. Still way more interesting than a lot of entries into the modern horror canon.

The biggest problem I found with this was that because there is a narrator, George A. Romero's political views are actually "voiced" instead of being there for us to discern for ourselves.

Does the R2 have more extras than the R1, because it certainly looks as though that is the case!? Also, those covers are dire - I much prefer the R1 coverart but unfortunately want the most extras... Hmmmm!

Its interesting that the students kind of parady Romero himself when he made his films at the Latent Image, and NOTLD itself.

Dave Brock, i have to agree w/ you on everything you mention. for me the worst thing about this movie was the AWEFUL acting of the main girl who narrates the movie. she was just atrocious. also, there is almost NO gore in this. i understand Romero was on a non-existent budget, but...come on.

I opted for the R1 DVD in the end because after some net surfing, it turns out the extras are identical apart from The Lead Up to Diary: UK Exclusive Interview from Frightfest 08 on the R2, which replaces the Myspace shorts found on the R1. Anyway, does anyone know how long the making of documentary lasts on the R1? The info for the R2 is rather misleading because it turns out that:

Making of: Into the Camera Interview with Actors
Master of the Dead: Interview with George A Romero with Foreword by Producers
Filmed Character Profiles
You Look Dead: Make Up Featurette
A New Spin on Death: Spin VFX Featurette
A World Gone Mad: Photography & Design Featurette

...are actually all part of the documentary - just listed seperately! I have read two reviews - one stating it as 25mins and the other as 80mins - anyone get a definate running time for it please??
