The zombie eater is back (After years of not writing a review for this site) By now any of you that remember me you should know that i am a big fan of George A.
Romero's zombie flicks, Even though diary of the dead was one movie that i had really high hopes for, &.
It ended up being nothing like i thought it would be, It grow on me over time & i ended up enjoying it a hell of a lot more, still in my book it is one of his weakest. Now on to the movie i am reviewing Survival of the Dead...
When you watch Survival of the Dead you need to have an open mind & be ready for a fun little zombie flick that i don't even think Romero himself took too serious.
I am not really going to go all into the story, Sure it has its plot holes but its not as severe as some make it sound By now i am sure a lot of you have already read the bitchy reviews floating around online about this flick .
(The poor fools want another Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, That is all i have been hearing since Land of the Dead 2005 came out) I always ask myself why would someone want the same fucking thing made again when it has been done & it could not have been done any better.
Sure i agree Romero could have took his deadheads (That is what some call the zombies in Survival) down many different roads, But this is the road he took, (Like seen in Day & Land) The Dead are still evolving (Geting deadfully smarter), We got a zombie that can (Halfassly) drive a car & tries to run a motherfucker over, A living dead mailman chained by a mailbox still trying to relive his past in some sad sick way, An old man always loved his wife in the kitchen to cook meals, Even after she dies he keeps her in the kitchen, & she um tries, Also we got a sexy zombie chick riding a horse i really don't know why but something about a zombie on a horse seems to creep me out when the guy is in the woods & in the darkness she is watching him on her horse.
Survival of the Dead is not diary of the dead 2, there is one or maybe Two characters but none of them where a big part at all in diary of the dead, & they all do really well in Survival of the Dead.
Others things ppl like in Romero is gore & we get some of the best gore i've seen in a while, the zombie kills are top notch its not filled with the basic kills we are all so used to, It dose not over use cgi i only saw one kill that cgi was needed, I am giving Survival of the Dead 10 skulls (Bet i am about the only one behind George on this new one) anyone that likes zombies and don't mind something new should check it out.
