Survival of the Dead

Even Romero's staunchest fans might conclude their hero is going through the motions here. Yes, almost like a zombie.

What we've got here is a just a B-movie western with buckets of gore, which might be fine coming from a Romero wannabe but not from the genuine article.

There's something here for enthusiasts to enjoy, but to newcomers or those lacking an appreciation for Romero's work, Survival of the Dead is a zombie soap opera.

Steeped in fan-pleasing gore but woefully thin on ideas, originality (beyond new zombie-offing methods) or directorial flair.

Survival of the Dead almost never snaps into focus. Even its oxymoronic title doesn't work. It feels marginal, like an extended footnote.

Like a zombie version of his previous movies %u2013 feeding off what came before and just not quite all there.

George A. Romero’s Dead series has officially crossed into irrelevance...

George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead feels like it was made by a younger, less talented director trying to accomplish something like Romero’s own classics of the now-tired zombie subgenre.

You will laugh and you will groan but who will survive Survivial of the Dead? Zombies? Mankind? Or you?

At 70 years old, Romero remains the grand master of the zombie movie and Survival of the Dead proves he is still more than worthy of the title.
