| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The master of horror returns to the kind of filmmaking he
pioneered and the genre he invented. In his first independent
zombie film in over twenty years, George A. Romero takes us
back to ground zero in the history of the living dead.
Jason Creed and a small crew of college filmmakers are in
the Pennsylvania woods making a no-budget horror film when
they hear the terrifying news that the dead have started returning
to life. Led by Jason's girlfriend, Debra, the frightened
young filmmakers set off in a friend's old Winnebago to try
to get back to the only safety and security they know: their
homes. But there is no escape from the crisis, nor any real
home for them anymore. Everything they depend upon, all the
they hold dear, is fractured as the plague of the living dead
begins to spread.
Jason documents the true-life horrors in a tense, first-person
style that heightens the reality of each encounter. Even as
his friends die, even as they are attacked by ravenous walking
corpses at every stop along the way, Jason keeps filming,
an obsessive, unflinching eye in the midst of chaos. The government
first denies, then promises to quell the crisis, but can't.
Technology fails. Communication with the rest of the world
becomes impossible. Jason and what remains of his crew end
up on their own, a handful of lucky survivors, reliant on
no one but themselves to stay alive. They take final refuge
in a fortress of a mansion, but their sanctuary turns out
to be a trap from which is no escape. Throughout it all, the
cameras keep rolling, recording, recording every details for
future generations ... if any survive.
