survival of the dead is a movie starring alan van sprang, kenneth welsh, and kathleen munroe. on an island off the coast of north america, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un - dead relatives back to their human state .
romero effectively created the zombie genre with night of the living dead (1968) and dawn of the dead (1978). but it was with 1985’s day of the dead that he introduced the unique notion that the living dead could rise above their mindless craving for human flesh and could relearn human behaviour. twenty years later, when he finally made a fourth dead movie – 2005’s land of the dead – he expounded further on that idea, going so far as to make his signature black hero a zombie instead of a living human. more after the jump :

survival of the dead, the sixth film in george romero' s
dead
franchise, might be the director' s weirdest zombie movie yet. mixing genres freely, survival is at times a western, a traditional splatter flick, and a looney tunes cartoon. unfortunately, the result is a muddled film that lacks romero' s trademark social satire and delivers few, if any, relatable characters .
writer / director george romero once remarked that his final feature film, 2009’s survival of the dead, was the most “melancholy” of his movies, something that seemed odd considering the toronto - shot 6th “dead” picture is, on the surface, such a frothy romp. but, as the film has aged and the world of the living dead romero invented has irrevocably evolved, we can see exactly what he meant. it’s not the film that’s melancholy per se…it was romero himself .
on an isolated island off the coast of north america, the inhabitants discover that their relatives are rising from the dead. the island divides over the debate of whether to' kill' the walking dead or to preserve them and try to find a cure .
i was disappointed that romero dropped this interesting concept when he rebooted his own series with 2008’s unfortunate diary of the dead. so when i learned that survival of the dead focused on people’s attempts to “rehabilitate” zombies i hoped that the movie would mark a true return to form for the legendary filmmaker. oh, how wrong i was .

when george a. romero debuted the zombie horror film “night of the living dead” in 1968, he gave the world a frightening, grainy bit of cinematic wonder that’s still terrifying more than 40 years later. fast forward four decades and five “… of the deads” later to “survival of the dead”—the most recent installment in romero’s zombie empire—where the undead still roam slowly, stiff - leggedly about, but this time every ounce of terror has been displaced by a giant, blood - spurting bowl of silly .

then, in 1998, russo went back to the original night of the living dead to reshoot extra sequences into the film. this version, which was officially named night of the living dead: 30th anniversary edition, added a subplot, alternate opening, and new score. children of the living dead was then produced as a direct sequel to night of the living dead: 30th anniversary edition, as it followed up on scenes that were newly inserted .

“survival of the dead” concerns two warring clans, the o’flynns and the muldoons, who reside off the coast of delaware on isolated plum island. in the wake of the zombocalypse, these age - old rivals continue to draw lines in the sand: the o’flynns, led by patriarch patrick (welsh), believe the ghouls ought to be shot dead immediately, while seamus muldoon (fitzpatrick) and his family choose to chain their zombie kin, thus keeping the still - living out of harm’s way while a “cure” is sought .

i can’t think of any film series / franchise more deserving of another shot than romero’s dead movies. there’s obviously no guarantee that any new film would be a masterpiece, but there’s only one way to find out, and until we do, we’ll be missing out. in an ideal world, survival of the dead shouldn’t be his last movie .
bottom line: survival of the dead doesn' t show romero at the top of his form, but it does deliver some laughs and a handful of unique zombie kills. i imagine genre purists will find enough in the film to justify watching it, though i have significant doubts on whether the film will catch on with casual audiences .
living dead is a blanket term for various films and series that all originated with the seminal 1968 zombie movie night of the living dead created by george a. romero and john a. russo .
in the beginning sarge is explaining the average deaths by year in
normal
times, then he says :
now everyone of those dead people gets up and kills another person and everyone of those, get up and kills
. a direct reference to the scientist' s lines in the beginning of dawn of the dead .
those zombies just keep lurching along. and george a. romero keeps breathing life into the walking dead, more than four decades after he caught horror fans and the movie industry unaware with the wildly successful “night of the living dead. ”
it is not difficult to map these onto dead space: there is the directing of isaac and the management of his capacities, the various forms of control that are involved in play, the need to school the body of the avatar, and opportunities to prove the accuracy of the player. the management of life and populations is reminiscent of isaac’s health (constructed as a quantifiable phenomenon) as well as the game’s many references to reproduction, childbirth and mortality, the future of humanity, and threats to the species .
romero says that the new films would tie up the themes he’s been developing in his most recent titles, suggesting that survival and the next two chapters would create a whole second arc in the romero cannon. his first four films would be chapter one, and what began with diary of the dead would become chapter two. (see techland’s zombie of the week )
russo actually has two separate series that claim the living dead name. the first was return of the living dead, which originated as a book written by russo. it was later adapted to a film by dan o' bannon, which spawned its own series of movies, with a total of four sequels. this could be seen more as a spin - off of night of the living dead rather than sequels, as the first movie treats night of the living dead as a movie that was based on real events in return of the living dead' s universe. the first two films in this series differ from romero' s living dead films in that they are not serious and employ silly humour, as well as using different zombie
rules .
: the single female in the group of guard refugees shamelessly masturbates in front of her fellows .
the sixth film in romero' s extended trilogy of
dead
zombie films was, in effect, a tangential sequel to the 5th film. it was the first romero film to feature a returning character, the anti - hero sgt. crocket (alan van sprang) from the 5th film diary of the dead (2007). the story also seemed like a sequel to the 4th film land of the dead (2005), which concluded with a military unit taking off in a heavily - armored vehicle (dead reckoning) .
app annie actually has the official mobile game of the walking dead tv show at no. 2 on both iphone and ipad, but there’s no question the reception to the road to survival, which blends rpg, strategy and builder elements, has been tremendous. there’s a gameplay trailer at the bottom of this post if you’d like to see what all the fuss is about .
dialogue and character development have never been romero’s strong suit, but at least in land of the dead he had solid actors (dennis hopper, simon baker, john leguizamo) who were able to fill out their characters and give them presence. survival of the dead has no such saving grace; not a single actor is able to deliver his lines without sounding absurd .
survival of the dead is, in effect, a revisit to one of romero’s favourite films, the 1958 william wyler - directed, gregory peck and charlton heston - starring western the big country, with its warring clans, austere and scenic vistas and more romantic and often even whimsical tone. some fans of the filmmaker’s previous, considerably more nihilistic and angry, zombie films were somewhat taken aback by survival of the dead upon release. but survival is a glimpse into a heart of a filmmaker who had already said what he needed to say about the world, about the terrible ways in which human beings treat each other, about the failings of society. instead, with this earthy, gorgeously made zombie oater, we find romero lamenting the old guard, not raging against the world but dialing back the clock to a simpler time, one that may have only existed in dreams, in films, but nevertheless was real .
i like romero films, even those not dealing with zombies but after seeing diary of the dead... he los…

1. this research was undertaken as part of an ahrc project that examined representations of disability in games, particularly games featuring either the undead or forms of human augmentation. eight games were played in full on the ps3. dead space was one of the richest in terms of the project’s themes, and one of the most enjoyable to play. dead space was a commercial and critical success, it spawned a franchise, and it still appears on lists of the ‘scariest games ever’ .

although the majority of the living dead media has been films, there has been times when related projects have been released in other media. specifically, there have been a handful of books and comics books that take place in the living dead universe. as with the films, some of them are officially endorsed while others unofficially use the universe .
in “survival of the dead, ” the story begins six days later, when everyone is still confounded. we’re introduced to a group of rogue military people, ranging from the no - nonsense leader sarge crockett (alan van sprang) – who appeared briefly in the previous film – to the tough lesbian tomboy (athena karkanis). they’ve decided to desert the military and find a safe place .
official reports of the fifth film, which premieres on september 8 at the 2007 toronto international film festival, is that it will not continue the depiction of the progress of the world; instead it will go back to the beginning of events from the first film, but will be nonetheless contemporary as the sequels are. romero does not consider any of his dead films sequels since none of the characters or story continue from one film to the next. only the premise that there are zombies is the same .
using these resources it is possible to explore depictions of able bodies, abject bodies, excess, unease and anxiety in dead space. the paper begins with an account of the methods used and a description of dead space. the analysis itself is organized under three categories of excess (abject bodies, overkill and spillage). it is argued that dead space generates generically appropriate sensations by combining psychoanalytic problems of identity and origins, with culturally prevalent discourses of disability and ability .

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 .
george a. romero loves his zombie films, and apparently he’s got even more visions of the undead tucked away in the corners of his imagination. his newest movie, survival of the dead, is slated to hit theaters in may 28. but over at shock till you drop, the director spills the beans that he has hatched a plan for at least two more dead projects, that he would ideally love to shoot back - to - back as a two - part storyline .
says romero ,
i' m a big admirer of the team at magnolia. they' re creative and passionate, and i' m excited to put survival in their hands .
romero tells dread central that a first draft of his sequel to diary of the dead is done and he' s about to begin tightening it up. one piece of info revealed: the new movie starts off following

not that there’s anything wrong with that. in fact, it’s a whole lot of fun to watch the goofiness unfold. with “survival” romero delivers his signature package of gory mayhem embedded in an adventure story puffed with sociopolitical allegory .
also includes one steam key for dead matter, date of delivery to be announced. closed alpha access included .
romero has often had fun simply starting the series over. three years ago, his innovative “diary of the dead” once again began with the outbreak of zombies, as if the first film had never happened, and none of his characters knew what was going on .
night of the living dead 3d (broadstreet, 2006) is a remake / reimagining of the original film made in a 3d format. the original' s status as public domain made it possible to produce this film without the involvement of either romero or russo .

isaac’s suit is a prosthetic that enables his survival, and thus his visibility, at the same time that it renders his actual body invisible. excess is expressed in the physicality of the monstrous. excess is also present in isaac’s myriad and multiple deaths, when the external, penetrative threat of the monstrous combines with the difficulty of containment posed by his own body [ 9 ] .

at the centre of dead space is an able male body that has problems with permeability and self - containment. this able body is risked in proximity to a location (the clinic) that is culturally associated with the production of evidence relating to the body. dead space is not alone in being interested in the relationship between bodies, control and the clinic. consider, for instance, the significance of the clinic and the consequences of its corruption by corporate interests in deus ex: human revolution (eidos montreal, 2011), or recall joel’s choice, the function of zombies, and the demise or death of the clinic in the last of us (naughty dog, 2013) .

an avid lover of classic american cinema, romero frequently told tales of his youth, spending much of that time sitting in dark movie houses in new york, thrilling to whatever films he could lock his eyeballs onto. and though he helped invent the template for the more graphic and unsparing contemporary american horror film, the almost gentle survival of the dead sees the then nearly 70 year old auteur in the autumn of his life, pining for those days when films were more elemental and innocent, when it seemed the world itself was also just a bit sweeter .

the true horror of dead space lies not in the snarling, gibbering necromorphs that attempt to rip and tear the flesh from isaac clarke' s body, but in how the game imagines the inky void of space as a direct physical threat. throughout its length, dead space constantly reminds us the usg ishimura is a tiny lifeboat spinning in a vast, black vacuum. it sucks the air out of isaac' s lungs, and forces us to fight in environments where even simple things like the concept of' up' become entirely redundant .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
with both games utilizing very different monetization models, it will be interesting to see if they can make some noise on the top - grossing charts as well. lara croft go has cracked the top 100 there, while the walking dead: road to survival is moving up fast but hasn’t risen that high just yet .
coming as a huge surprise to absolutely no one, survival of the dead really sucks, barely functional as a slow - paced zombie action film and absolutely nothing else. no scares, no drama, dull characters, feeble gore, uncreative zombie death set pieces... aside from the visceral thrill of watching people of various ages and occupations gun down the living dead, and the vicarious thrill that i personally get whenever i watch a zombie movie (
what would i do ?
is always the best part, in my opinion) there is absolutely nothing here worth seeing. romero' s excessive hype of both this film and diary of the dead are clear indicators that he simply doesn' t have his finger on the pulse of the genre anymore, and the only virtues of his two most recent films are merely to show how far he' s fallen. sad .
as far as social commentary goes, i suppose if survival of the dead teaches us anything, it' s that zombies
die
easily, but old feelings die hard. the patriarchs of the muldoon and o' flynn clans are as single - minded as the zombie hordes that surround them. this doesn' t make them particularly likable or fun to watch, but it does serve to prove a point .

2. stockpile assets. the special - effects teams of the walking dead have discovered that they must stockpile the assets needed to turn actors into the shambling undead. that includes bins of latex appliances and other supplies used to change the shape of an actor’s face. whatever the script calls for, the crew is sure that it will be on hand, so the work never slows down .
14. sociology of education literature suggest that the ideology of the clinic is disseminated, reified and naturalized through forms of education policy and practice, and that “the exercise of power only remains tolerable by hiding itself within the everyday, the mundane and the intimate” (ball, 2013, p. 145). the logic of the clinic infuses discourses of status, value, worthiness, entitlement, productivity, adulthood and autonomy - - all of which feed into the “ideology of ability” (siebers, 2009) .
the 1968 classic night of the living dead is and always will be romero' s best film. it had a revolutionary impact on independent filmmaking and has had a strong influence on the horror genre for more than 40 years. among romero' s modern zombie films, i think 2005' s land of the dead is the most entertaining and conceptually satisfying. with diary, and now survival, however, it seems like romero is more interested in playing around with ideas than in delivering quality films. seeing as the man literally invented the zombie movie genre, of course, romero has more than earned this right .
worse than the so - so cgi, however, is the fact that the film lacks any real sense of tension. i know that most people watch zombie movies for the gore, but shouldn' t there be some scares? opening credits tell us that the zombies have only been walking among the living for a short period of time, yet the characters in survival walk around brazenly, completely unafraid .
survival of the dead was released on dvd in the uk last month. it debuts in the us on april 30 th on video on demand. then it will open theatrically on may 28 th, but i have no idea who will pay to see it at the cinema. there will be no positive buzz around this movie and most genre fans will just watch it at home .
how can you kill or rehabilitate a zombie, since by definition it is dead? here' s my reasoning: if it can attack you and dine on your throbbing flesh, it isn' t dead enough. george a. romero is our leading researcher in this area, having reinvented zombies for modern times with “ night of the living dead ” (1967), and returned to them from time to time, most successfully in the excellent “ dawn of the dead ” (1979) .
the newest film from george a. romero (legendary creator of the night of the living dead franchise) picks up where diary of the dead leaves off - in a nightmarish world where humans are the minority and the zombies rule. off the coast of delaware sits plum island, where two families are locked in a struggle for power. the o' flynns approach the zombie plague with a shoot - to - kill attitude. the muldoons feel that zombies should be quarantined and kept
alive
in hopes that a solution will someday be found. mpaa rating: r
premise: shortly after the dead have returned to life and begun attacking the living, the residents of an island try to protect their borders from invaders both living and undead... . more »

villain protagonist: crockett and his fellow deserters are the same group of renegade national guardsman who robbed the leads of diary of the dead, even though crockett is a sergeant then a colonel that the previous film erroneously credited him as and his posse are different from those who appeared in this film (such as there was no sign of a female national guard member in the previous movie unlike the appearance of tomboy in this film) .
“survival” will rally fans primarily for its abundance of inventive, gross - out zombie killings, and although naysayers may well take umbrage with its low - grade cgi and illogical plot, those calculatedly artless elements are part and parcel of the film’s transparent artifice. as such, the film mirrors and magnifies the prevailing absurdity of partisan political posturing and senseless human suffering .
these little ideas so intensely worked are what set dead space apart from the game it is so openly inspired by. sometimes though, it works them a bit too much. one of dead space' s biggest problems is that the starting weapon - the plasma cutter, is too good. it is perfectly suited to the job of carving up necromorphs, and while there are a couple of fun alternatives, such as the line gun and the ripper, none of them have the plasma cutter' s delicate balance of punch and precision. the story, too, is polished to the point of being a little bland. it has all the snap and pace of a hollywood blockbuster, but never stops to think of anything memorable to say.
