Dead Snow is definitely one of the standout films of that genre of recent years though; I agree with that completely
Due to Diary of the Dead flopping at the box office, i suppose Romero could only get minimum funding and a straight to dvd release.

Diary grossed $5.3 million dollars worldwide and under a million of this was taken in the US.
