His "Martin" is a particular favorite of mine (begging for a remake) and in almost all his films there's a moment or two of insight that deepens it within not only horror conventions but outside of them too (as humor, satire, sociology).

RIP

Wow this is unexpected. Both Dawn & Day are among my favorite films and amazing examples of the zombie genre but he did other films too. In particular I quite enjoy his modern medieval biker film Knightriders. Long, but good. RIP!

His wife said he left behind about 40-50 scripts that he had written and a novel. And extra amazing news: a new movie!!

"We have a film that he shot in 1973 that most people haven't seen. A handful of people have seen this film," Desrocher admitted. "We're gonna restore it, and we're gonna show it to Romero cinephiles. It's a scary movie, but it's not a horror movie, and it's about ageism. Anyway, he has a cameo in it, and it'll be fun. And we'll show the movie, or get it distributed. It'll be a project that the foundation's gonna do. I think it's the first project we're gonna do actually."

She added, "A lot of people are like, 'Oh, my God, I can't wait to see it.' And I go, 'It's not a zombie movie now, remember.' And what's also terrific is that you see his footprint. You see how he shoots and the story. It's a unique find. I'm so happy I have it."

Well, that sounds about interesting.
