I hereby award the George Romero crown to Nick Damici & Jim Mickle. Despite the inevitable apocalypse due to zombies (Mulberry Street) or vampires (Stake Land), their vision & hope for the US is quite lovely. A close knit, multicultural, all ages, sexes, veterans & civilians, all sexual orientations America that bands together to fight against whatever weird crap comes at us. Happy Fourth of July! But maybe don’t fight zombies with your fists. Just sayin’. Unfortunately the lesson is that both government & $ interests will destroy this ideal America.
