About this movie

The master filmmaker continues to reinvent the modern horror genre with a film that draws new battle lines between the living and the dead. It's been less than a week since the dead began to walk, and the world has gone to hell. The rule of law is disintegrating. The military is in chaos. A war-weary band of soldiers goes AWOL, convinced they'll be better off on their own. Led by Sarge, a tough, chain-smoking guardsman, their only ambition is to survive. They are lured to a remote island that promises to be the last paradise on earth, only to discover that even here, miles away from civilization, there is no escape from a world at war. The battle that follows overtakes everyone on the island, living and dead, and poses a new meaning for the word, "survival". Told with Romero's iconic sense of humor and keen eye for the fault-lines in contemporary culture, George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead expands and intensifies the zombie universe for which he is celebrated.

Ratings and reviews

Watch Night of the Living Dead, watch this and then wonder what happened to Romero. None of this works, time to put the franchise to rest.
