Romero’s Worst: ‘Survival of the Dead’ Falls Flat
To be frank, this isn’t close to the level of “Diary of the Dead.” In my opinion, “Survival of the Dead” is George Romero’s finest zombie film since “Dawn of the Dead.” Unfortunately, that’s quite disappointing. The movie focuses on a minor character from the earlier film and turns him into a central figure amidst a family conflict that doesn’t really impact him significantly. As such, “Survival of the Dead” falls short, but it’s far less problematic than Romero’s recent work.
