This study proves that Romero's films, like apocalyptic literature or Dante's Commedia, go beyond the surface experience of repulsion to probe deeper questions of human nature and purpose, often giving a chilling and darkly humorous critique of modern, secular America. 106481 30 10 2006 Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth total:41|5:11|4:19|3:8|2:3|1:0| 41 161 86 9 3 0 false false Sat Mar 17 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 11 10:17:33 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 11 10:17:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 12:57:16 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 06 10:23:59 -0800 2008 1 Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Vision of Hell on Earth (Baylor University Press, 2006)

I've finished it. I decided in the end that the book is pretty great. Some of the things I found interesting were, the author's over enthusiastic appraisal of the Dawn remake- I found the remake rather bland and formulaic, he found it motivational- and his take on Day, which i...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 11 19:54:16 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 18:47:53 -0700 2007
