George A. Romero is at it again. He said he was going back to basics for DIARY OF THE DEAD. Well that didn’t work out as well as planned. So you know what they say? Try try again. Romero is going back to basics yet again with SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, currently making the festival rounds.
Below you’ll find the first clip for SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD courtesy of Twitch. Just scroll down below to check that out. Here’s the lengthly… and kind of boring.. synopsis: In a world where the dead rise to menace the living, rogue soldier Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) leads a band of military dropouts to refuge from the endless chaos. As they search for a place “where the shit won’t get you,” they meet banished patriarch Patrick O’Flynn (played with zeal by Kenneth Welsh), who promises a new Eden on the fishing and ranching outpost Plum Island. The men arrive, only to find themselves caught in an age-old battle between O’Flynn’s family and rival clan the Muldoons. It turns out that Patrick was expelled from the isle for believing that the only good zombie is a dead zombie, while the Muldoons think it’s wrong to dispatch afflicted loved ones, attempting to look after their undead kinfolk until a cure is found. But their bid for stability on the homestead has turned perverse: the undead are chained inside their homes, pretending to live normal lives – and the consequences are bloody. A desperate struggle for survival will determine whether the living and the dead can coexist.
No official release date for SURVIVAL yet but we’ll be keeping an eye out and will update you all with whatever we hear.
