George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead movie review
Romero's Day of the Dead is my best film of all time. Dawn of the Dead my second. But he has really changed. The script on this is something a high school student would write. And it has zombies with no make up for some reason. Zombies that don't even growl. And(no spoiler I promise), horses that come to the defense of zombies. In fact, out of the 90 minute film, zombies are hardly involved. The script deals mostly with two fighting families. It might be that Romero has changed for the worse because he doesn't work with the same people he did with "Dawn" and "Day". But this film is a major let down. Please George retire. You created 3 of the best zombie movies ever made. But this film is so bad, I would rather watch Martha Stewart in the leaGeorge Romero hasn't really done a zombie film as good as anything since the original Dead trilogy. Land of the Dead probably gets put down more often than it deserves as the film only seems to get better with each viewing while Diary of the Dead has the opposite effect as the flaws seem more apparent the more it's watched. Survival is a bit different, but isn't really anything new. One of the best things about this film is that there's a bit of continuity as 'Nicotine' Crocket had a brief appearance in Diary and is now a main character in Survival. Crocket is really the highlight of the film and is basically a modernized version of Captain Rhodes from Day of the Dead. The CGI in the film seemed to hurt it more than anything else though. While it looked best during the fire extinguisher kill, it stuck out like a sore thumb the rest of the time whether it was a plethora of decapitated heads still moaning or a hot dog on a barbecue fork being shoved into someone's head. The CGI used isn't terrible, but it isn't the best either. So it's in that middle ground that looks somewhat decent, but takes you out of the film because you know it's fake. The storyline takes some odd turns, as well. Apparently, people don't need to be bitten to turn into a zombie anymore. When you die, you automatically come back as one of them unless somebody puts a bullet in your head. And for whatever reason, don't accidentally swallow some of their blood. The search for a food substitute for the zombies was weird, as well. Despite those few new elements introduced, it seems like Romero is just retreading old ground. It's just films like this that certify the fact that the whole zombie idea has been bled dry and that's coming from a fan of zombie cinema. If the guy who helped create some of the most influential horror films of our time continues to make subpar films on the subjWriter-director George A. Romero, who invented the modern zombie film with 1968's Night of the Living Dead, returns to the graveyard for Survival of the Dead, the fifth sequel (of sorts) to his landmark movie, with his trademark gore and social commentary intact. Survival picks up shortly after the events of 2008's Diary of the Dead, which offered a revisionist take on the zombie outbreak in Night; here, a minor character from Diary (Alan Van Sprang) takes center stage with his team of fellow mercenary soldiers as they make their way to remote Plum Island, where two feuding Irish families sort out the best way to deal with the living dead. As is often the case with Romero's films, the ideas don't always match the execution--his dialogue and characters remain painfully stock at times, and the CGI elements of the effects look amateurish--but at its core, the picture retains his fascination for entropy in American society, as personified by the twin family patriarchs, who cling stubbornly to their beliefs as their world literally dies around them. Parallels between this story and the conservative movement of the early 21st century are obvious, and while others have made more artful statements about the situation, Romero once again cuts to the bloody heart of the matter. Limited in scope and budget, Survival isn't on par with Night or 1978's Dawn of the Dead, but it's a watchable and intriguing addition to his zombie canon. --Paul Gaitaect, then maybe it's time to put the idea to rest and move on. d of the next "Terminator" flick.
