Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Crabby McGrouchpants It's possible resetting his whole game by picking up and moving to Canadian -- with one exception, all the actors are Canadian, as the funding came from there -- cause Romero to do a "reboot" with different, or more *precise*, sort of narrative lines than (I've seen him) use before.Why include a clan-squabbling story line? Because it's an effective backstory, a human life-detail that other characters could run into whether they like it or not, is why. It's like why have a lesbian soldier or a commanding officer who's smoking habit, for once and oddly at that, seems to be a defining characteristic rather than a simple way to kill screen time.I don't know why this movie's so effective, but ... I do. Really, I do, in fact. What happens is this: every scene -- and I mean pretty much *every* scene -- is an "update" on what's been brewing with these characters; what's been going on since you've seen them last, what's new about their "character" or personality that hadn't been revealed before, etc. All this while the world's fallen and there's (almost) nothing left but zombies.Cute touches: the attachment to internet devices and pride therein, to be defended against nay-saying disparagers; kids who forget something vital but are too late and well on their way to go back for it and feel like an idiot to no real purpose; the fact that the mostly-male survivor contingent is (wait for it) gun-carriers.This last might *seem* obvious, but then it doesn't dawn on one until well after the movies over. Yes, the hunters they run into (so casually racist there's no need to belabor it in the dialogue of the characters -- "We FELT LIKE IT, that's why!") are one-note hillbillies, but then again, being a good marksman is but a single virtue. Huh. Lacking that, you'd have no chance. Would you want to leave humanity *only* in the hands of gun-carriers? It's an interesting question the film asks: already, it's too late, it's over. ("Six days after ... " the intertitle announces, which is either/or a cute joke for fans or the series -- or, "no really" -- Romero's specifically and carefully marking time as his narrative unfolds. After all this time, since 1968.)Good show! Watch the trailer, and decide for yourself. If you think you won't be disappointed, trust me, you won't be: it's only if you can't even get through those 2 minutes 'cause this ain't your cup of tea (not to be taken as contemptuous, snark-attable "grindhouse" inept crap, but a movie to be watched with characters you can care about), there's your answer!

Brian Tilley Yet another wonderful outing from the man, George A.Romero. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, unlike so many others, who seem to think that George Romero's "Of the Dead" movies of late, should all follow the formula used by nearly all other zombie movies of the last decade. Fact is, and should always be, that George Romero makes the movie he wants to make. Sure, continuity is all over the place, from film to film. Who Cares! Its Fantasy, Fiction, Make Believe! None of which should necessarily be logical, or make perfect sense. Fact is George made the movie he always wanted to make, more or less, he just threw zombies in the mix. I thought the whole concept of this movie was fresh for the zombie genre, what with, families that had been feuding for generations, an isolated island, twins who both get turned, and plenty of humor throughout. Every minute of this movie felt to me like an authentic George Romero zombie classic, and I can only hope that he keeps making the films he wants to make.

theactualstephers Worst zombie movie yet. The zombies are even less scary then the ones in night of the living dead. But not even that, there are barely any zombies in this movie. This wasn't even a zombie movie really. The story is awful. It was basically a really boring story about some army people going to an island with some dude who is in a feud with another guy on the island, the feud is over whether the zombies should be saved or not. The best parts of this movie happen in the last 15 minutes. My favorite part was when the girl gets bit by her twin zombie sister, I laughed pretty hard. But this is not suppose to be a comedy. I don't know what George Romero is thinking, I am in disbelief that this is his movie.

geminiredblue Before I start the review, I want commend dear ole George. For over 40 years, he has consistently found ways to scare audiences. And he's pretty consistent in his message: No matter what we try to do to save ourselves, we are our own worst enemies. His first film, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, is a classic that redefined horror movies. His sequel, DAWN OF THE DEAD, is an epic classic too. In recent years, audiences have started to wonder if dear ole George has lost his spark. But I say, he hasn't lost one iota. Now as for the sixth installment in his DEAD series, I have to admit it's not quite as good as his previous films. In SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, we have three competing stories. STORY 1: On Plum Island, off the coast of Delaware, two rival families square off against each other. Think the Hatfields and McCoys. Each has their own strategy for dealing with the dead. The O'Flynn family, led by Patrick (Kenneth Walsh) want to eliminate all the zombies. The Muldoon family, led by Seamus (Richard Fitzpatrick) want to cure the zombies. After a harrowing opening scene, Patrick O'Flynn and his followers are expelled from the island. STORY 2: A team of renegade National Guard troops, led by Sgt. Nicotine Crockett (Alan Van Sprang, Robert Downey's look-a-like) have commandeered an armored truck and have decided to head for Plum Island. At the docks, they form an unsteady alliance with Patrick, who leads them back to Plum Island. STORY 3: Once on Plum Island, they discover that the Muldoons have corralled most of the zombies. Muldoon's goal is to try and make the zombies eat something other than people. The finale is yet another bloody masterpiece as the rivalry between the O'Flynns and Muldoons comes to a head.While the movie is entertaining, with plenty of grisly moments, the movie isn't quite up to the quality of Romero's previous work. Part of the problem is that, with this film, the characters and dialogue are too self-referential. And while there are plenty of good ideas, they don't seem to gel very well together. And halfway through, the story loses its focus. Also, Muldoon's theory, that we're safe if zombies learn to eat something else, is sketchy. Just because zombies may learn to eat a horse doesn't necessarily mean they'll stop eating people. This isn't the worst zombie film ever, but it's far from the best.
