all of george romero's movies have had social comments in them about the times they are made. i think in my opinions thats what makes his movies good, there not carbon copies of each other. each movie represent a different time and different values. he always has good character based movies, and that's lacking in horror today. the characters are actually cared about by the audience. so when they die you feel it more deeply. in "dawn of the dead" when they secure the mall you almost forget the zombies are there and then eventually the real world comes crashing in. if mr. romero keeps making good movies like this i will keep watching.atleast it isn't a remake of a movie that didn't need to be remade in the first place.

I read a recent interview with George Romero and he said if this movie does well enough, he has ideas for 2 more dead films. I hope it does because I feel he still has a chance to build the dead films back into something more than a joke. Clearly, most people just hated the last 3. I enjoyed Land. The unrated version gave the gore. The acting was passable and I actually most of the actors that were in it. I recently watched Diary a couple of months ago because I could not remember it much. And reading the comments on how so many people didn't seem to like that one either. It was ok. Boring at parts but overall, it was an OK zombie flick (better than Zombies of Mass Destruction, ugh!). I only watched Survival so I'll check it out again. I do remember the acting was all over, from barely decent to downright heinous. The CGI was worse than network tv cgi shots.
Well, supposedly he wants to follow the black gang that was held up in the town and then eventually have everthing come together. He should use the script he wrote for Resident Evil/Capcom and change the names and refresh it. As I said, I would like for him to get at least one more chance to let his Dead saga go out with a bang. But Survival in theaters is going to tank unless people are hard up to see a zombie flick this holiday weekend.

Horrible is right. And not in a good way.

The revered George A. Romero, huh? What is this guy's problem? Why is he putting out this crap? Honestly, I'd like to hear someone try to explain to me why this film was made. No care or pride was taken in the making of this film whatsoever: Rustic yokels living on an island in Delaware--who speak in bad, shifting, variously Scottish and Irish brogues, wear cowboy getup and are locked in a clan feud about whether to keep the LD around with them, or whether to get rid of them? Hey George, maybe you could have found some clown suits lying around from another set too, and throw them into the mix: Irish cowboy clowns who do sped-up Benny Hill slapstick with the zombies. And It would work just as well as this!

Yet again, Romero is taking a dump on moviegoers.

There is no effort to even sustain a suspenseful or frightening element. No sense of the darkness, dread or doom of the doomsday scenario. What is it supposed to be, a parody? Apparently, not really. Honestly, what are you going for in everything you've done in your career for the past 30 years Romero? Laughs? Irony? I can tell you, it hasn't worked. What is ominous and dreadful here is that this genre is so much in the shitter at this point, that this guy who once or twice put out some groundbreaking and compelling material and who is still honored and respected for those noteworthy contributions, now apparently thinks nothing of abusing his worn-out status and taking advantage of paying audiences with this kind of horse shit.

It's no longer even a matter of disappointment--there is no artistic value to rate here. Rather, it's about audience abuse. Honestly, we don't need to tolerate or subsidize people like George Romero feeding us this kind of insulting crap any longer. The integrity of the genre is at rock bottom. This is NOT what the horror genre is about--rather it's about an artistic (yes, that's right: artistic) manipulation of the primal sensation of fear and dread in the film medium.

The horror genre isn't intrinsically cheap, shoddy, cheesy crap: We've just been fed so much of this that that's all that anyone expects of it. This has got to change. We need to revolt--and start demanding some kind of quality and actual effort from these directors.

Day of the Dead 2004 was mucn better than survival of the dead.

Worst cheezefest ever. The last great zombie movie made was the remake to Dawn of the Dead. That was a great on the edge of your seat zombie flix. Fast zombie a SCARY and make good screen time! Romero needs to hang it up if he ain't going to put it up!

I really didnt like this movie, i remember how i felt when i saw Day of the Dead... How i felt there was no escape from those zombies, and the realism of the way they looked, the gore the flesh being torn from the soliders...
That hasnt happend in this movie at all... Plus why the hell is this same actor in 3 movies the ( Colonel ) is in Land of the Dead, Diary Of The Dead, and now this one???

I wish he would go back to his old ways with The Master Tom Savini...

Still its worth the watch if you are a zombie fan like myself..

It was a decent flick. Too bad CGI is the cheap alternative for effects. Oh well. Wonder if he has ideas for another film.

damn dude, do you study the numbers 1 through 10 much?

Awful film terrible cgi bad acting worse script boring story and hopefully romeros last lurch in to the world of the dead, to me it will only be a dead trilogy cannot recommend even to diehard Romero fans. How much was spent on this? As it is really really cheap surely Romero could've spent the money a little better. Like employing Tom Savini, I personally think Savini was the anchor on Romeros ship without him these films have drifted aimlessly.

Out of curiousity has anyone seen a UK film called the Zombie Diaries it came out a year or so before Diary was the same sort of concept but executed much better.

I am not even sure how the reviewer managed to give it a 4. I am only giving it a 2 because the zombies did not run. The whole hatfield and mccoy thing ruined the film as far as I am concerned. Please could we also add a little more worthless CGI effects (*cough*)? I knew @ 4 mins into the movie that the effects were gonna be cheese. I am beginning to think that senility has set in for Romero...maybe he should screen Dawn and Day again to refresh his memory of what he is capable of. At least I know why its only going to be limited in its release. Sad really.

I hated this movie. Bad script, bad accents, bad everything.

You know, they could have really made it funny if they had added Warwick Davis in his Leprechaun outfit. That might have actually made this film work.

Romero has just plain lost it.
