Directed by George A. Romero, written by George A. Romero and Stephen King, produced by Declan Baldwin.
Average viewer score of 6.0/10 from 484 ratings.
A visually spectacular ending, but one that delivers little in the way of answers, and doesn't change a so-so beginning and middle of a film in any way that's meaningfully satisfactory. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
