Horror director George A Romero reveals why he made his latest zombie film - and why the undead can't run."Zombies don't run," he states firmly. "They can't! Their ankles would snap.
When it comes to zombie movies, there is no man more revered than George A Romero. Made for just $100,000 in black-and-white, his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead became a cult classic that spawned an entire genre.
It also generated four sequels, the latest of which, Diary of the Dead, is released in the UK this week. Laden with gore, blood and apocalyptic doom, Romero's work is not for the faint-hearted. Alongside the carnage, though, the 68-year-old director presents a telling and often satirical commentary on American society, culture and politics.
"All these films have been motivated by observations of what is happening out there in the world," he explains.
