Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Nigel P One thing I like about George Romero's 'Living Dead' series (this is his sixth), is that he doesn't shy away from writing what you don't expect, and instigating new angles with which to approach fashioning his zombie world. One thing remains true, though: firearms – you can achieve a lot if you carry a gun. If not, you 'don't got no chance.' That's not to say things here are entirely successful. But they are original. Actual tension is lacking, due to the fact that – as established a few films back – zombies are just part and parcel of society. Dark humour partly makes up for that (the character Crockett lights his cigarette from a burning zombie before tipping him into the sea, etc).Two feuding Irish families eject poor old Patrick O'Flynn after he rejects their notion of keeping the living dead from permanent death in the hope of one day finding a cure. With a group of mercenaries, O'Flynn returns to the island to find zombies chained up in environments of an approximation of their past lives. Kenneth Welsh plays O'Flynn as a mischievous rogue who is difficult to dislike.O'Flynn vows revenge on Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), and it is this distraction that provides the main thrust for the story, although other interesting things are going on with other characters too. The 'hero', Sergeant Crockett (Alan van Sprang) is a good shot, but slightly less interesting than the others. And yet none of the characters are written with a huge amount of depth – possibly the living dead themselves have more pathos as we see them going about the business of their former lives (a postman endlessly posting and removing a handful of letters, for example) whilst manacled.Instead, typically with Romero's later films, the main spectacle is a world ravaged by living dead, and still adapting to a new way of life. This is achieved very successfully, the endless realm of death and destruction made to feel depressingly normal.'Survival of the Dead' has received mixed reviews, mainly it seems, from Romero fans. I really enjoyed it. The zombie holocaust acting as a backdrop of sorts to other stories is a brave and original thing to do, flying in the face of those who perhaps wish to see more traditional guts and gore – two things 'Survival' also possesses, by the way. It seems when anything acquires a 'fandom', it leads to unnecessary negativity from those who are irritated if they don't see their own ideas and preferences worked into the mythos. Romero plans at least two more 'Living Dead' films – I really hope these happen.

empatmk Started with Land of The Dead, and now with this film, Survival of The Dead, George A. Romero tried to make zombies humanized. Perhaps, it began from Day of The Dead with Bub the Zombie character. But in my opinion, it is better to make a zombie film as it used to be. The flesh eater creatures that cannot think anymore only follow the instinct to chew the human meat and infected the victims. Overall, Survival of the Dead still a good zombie movie, though. Typical Romero's gore and the story also simple but not tacky at all.

Diane Ruth The visionary director George Romero himself took the helm of this magnificent entry in the Living Dead series of films and it's quite obvious the Master is back. Working from a his own script and with his usual style and spirit, Romero manages to bring his own unique originality and inspiration to a motion picture that will leave audiences spellbound. The sense of fear and terror, the atmosphere of unease and dread, and the environment of savage survival is almost overwhelming. Unrelenting in its horror and intensity, this film still manages to capture the humanity of the characters inhabiting an isolated island where an unusual society battles for life. Clinging to civilization but feeling it slip through their fingers, these are people of flesh and blood, beautifully realized by an outstanding cast. Romero's genius permeates the film and only he is truly capable of creating such a powerful story with such brilliance.

George Taylor I don't know what Romero was thinking when he did this piece of trash, but if this is the best he can do today, please retire. The entire plot is stupid. I was unaware that off the coast of the US there was a society of Irish refugees. How the hell did he come up with that bonehead idea? This is also full of useless humor, such as the zombie getting its head blown off and the top of the skull landing on it's neck stump. And no matter what George says, he stole the zombies eating a horse idea from The Walking Dead, showing he's running out of ideas. I thought Land, where the zombies are starting to think was bad, this was worse. At least Land had a coherent story and decent acting. This was bad enough to be made by the Asylum.
