I like Romero. I think he's a very creative, analytical, frightening artist. However, I think LOTD was horrible. There wasn't any horror to it. The zombies could have been any fearsome creature. You could have replaced them with aliens or bears. What I like in a zombie movie is fear and the fear should be distinctly of zombies.
Think of NOTLD...the claustrophobia, the characters having to deal with the walking dead, and why? Think of each character as an archetype, Ben, the hero-and ultimately the victim of "the good-guys," Barbara- a very tragic hysterical female (bad archetype if you're a feminist, but it was the 60's) etc etc.
That movie had so much more...flavor...to it.
LOTD was a total disapointment.
