GEORGE A ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD (Canada 2009) ***
Directed by George A Romero
Just when you think ideas have run out in the zombie genre, zombie director Master Romero takes his zombie tale one step further. He resets the action on an island (called Plum Island) where two feuding families cannot resolve agreeably the zombie problem.
O’Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) wants every undead shot in the head. Muddock wants the undeasd kinfolk looked after till a cure is found. Enter a band of group of soldiers led by Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) and the action and horror begins.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD is mostly fun, but when Romero gets too serious about parodying the States and the warring Middle East in the movie, all he get are laughs from the audience. The film is still entertaining enough though Romero gets too serious!
