Survival Of The Dead (2009) 6/10

Starring : Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Walsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Athena Karkanis, Stefano DiMatteo
Director : George A Romero
Running Time : 87 mins

A group of ex-soldiers meet Patrick O’Flynn (Walsh) and journey to his home – Plum Island – where his lifelong enemies the Muldoon’s have decided to keep their zombified relatives alive until they can find a cure for their apparent illness, but when they get there they find the entire island overrun by the undead.

The sixth and so far last of Romero’s Dead series is something of a disappointment. There is little action, and what there is feels better suited to a comedy horror, considering some of the comedy deaths this movie features. Those not that familiar with the series can easily get into this, though those who have enjoyed the series so far will know this follows directly from Diary Of The Dead. Sadly this doesn’t seem to progress the story of the Dead, and perhaps if a seventh movie is made they could come up with a cure, perhaps one that ironically makes things worse.
