Plot – Spoilers:
University students out in the woods shooting a bad horror film hear the news that the dead have started walking and decide to beat it. Their budding director however decides to continue shooting the subsequent events and so what we see is a sort of found-footage view of what transpired, complete with a doomsday voiceover from Terminator 2.

Being a Romero film, the zombies, though rare and lacking in practical effects, are pretty good, especially one where acid dissolves its head as it stumbles around. There’s also an annoying alcoholic professor wielding a bow-and-arrow who’s supposed to be British and who calls everyone darling often, to try and emphasize this. Other than that, it’s here mostly as part of the Night of the Living Dead series.
