United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"It has been six days since the dead began to walk, and a powerful emotion is gripping the land. Boredom (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"I suppose it's nice that Romero has a hobby, but he couldn't be more of a bore if he were showing off his pine cone collection."	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"There's little here that's new or interesting; the movie is for hard-core Romero devotees only, and even they should approach this picture with expectations kept in check.(…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"There's nothing here but the usual barrage of rude shocks and slapstick gore"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"After you've seen, oh, I dunno, 20 or 30 zombie movies, you sort of stop caring very much, unless something new is going on, as in 'Zombieland' (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"Romero is using better actors than in the past, which helps. But they are hobbled by a sometimes nonsensical script with logical lapses even genre fans will find hard to swallow."	NEG

United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"Romero's latest zombie-thon is about as fresh as a reanimated corpse (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
