Diary of the Dead - Exclusive Trailer
Horror film director George A. Romero has had as much influence on the dawn and development of death metal as any other movie maker. If it weren't for his 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead" (the "Citizen Kane" of zombie flix) and its follow-ups -- 1978's "Dawn of the Dead," 1985's "Day of the Dead" and 2005's "Land of the Dead" -- art work and lyrics by bands like Cannibal Corpse, Repulsion, Impaled and Exhumed might have been disgusting in an entirely different way.
To celebrate the May 20 DVD release of Romero's latest triumph, "Diary of the Dead," The Weinstein Company and Genius Products launched a short film contest and received hundreds of entries from aspiring filmmakers. Romero, himself, picked the grand prize winner, "The Final Day," a three-minute clip by Paul Del Vecchio (director/producer), David R. Doumeng (writer/producer), and Douglas Frye (producer). The short flick chronicles the final experiences of a lone survivor of a zombie infestation.
Here's the prize-winning short:
