GEORGE ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD still doesn’t have a release date here in the U.S., but it does in the U.K. (ya bloody bastards) – MARCH 15th. In honor of that, we present to you the DVD cover for the flick, which has received really mixed reviews – including from our own Arrow. (Read his review – which is actually pretty negative – HERE.)
Magnet Releasing has given the flick an undetermined Spring release date here – hopefully it will be around the same time as the U.K. date. In any event, I’m still eager to give it a look. Romero has one more masterwork up his sleeve, I just know it.
Like its predecessors, GEORGE A. ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island – a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: the O’Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept “alive” until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and violence.
The films stars Devon Bostick, Athena Karkanis, Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Julian Richings, and Kenneth Welsh.
