the reason it took so long for him to make it, was because he didnt have the funding or the company backing to make it. its not romero's fault that it was toned down, companies rarely fund movies that will get an x or nc-17 rating, because that cuts out half the audience, and they wont make the money they put into it back. they also pushed him to get the movie out. i think it was originally supposed to come out around halloween. so it wasnt even done. just wait for the dvd. i'm sure romero will deliver. in my opinion i thought it was awesome. too short though. but a good gory action flick. dont blame romero just blame the companie.
