Every George A Romero Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Romero’s first film of the 21st century has its detractors, but it’s hard to dislike a movie where Peter Stormare plays his usual scumbag, Tom Atkins plays a detective and The Misfits are the house band. Having previously directed the video for their song Scream, Romero asked them to write new two songs especially for the film and received Bruiser and Fiend Without A Face.

The latter is an apt description of Henry Creedlow (Jason Flemyng) who wakes one morning wearing a blank white mask he can’t remove. It turns out that wimpy Henry has been turning the other cheek for far too long and all his pent up aggression is about to set him on a path against anyone who has ever humiliated him.

Henry would make a terrific supervillain in a comic book movie and it’s curious that the man who put flesh-eating zombies on the screen was doing this sort of thing just a few years before superhero movies exploded. Perhaps Henry could return to the screen one day to fight a DC superhero?
