DeBaser's reviewers treat Romero as the architect of modern zombie cinema and a director of political allegory. Early films (Night, Dawn) are widely praised for social satire and effects; later entries receive mixed-to-negative responses. Recurring themes: consumerism, human cruelty, and the politics of survival.
