George A Romero’s latest zombie movie arrives on DVD.
But is Survival Of The Dead a return to form?
I remember watchingDiaryOf The Dead,Romeros previous entry in his ongoingDeadseries, and being hugely disappointed.
Furthermore, I thought that any sequel would surely be a vast improvement… How wrong I was!
The Island is the home to the feuding patriarchs of the only two families on the island.
The Family Muldoon and the Family OFlynn have very different views of how to handle the dead.
One family wants to attempt to educate them, the other wants to exterminate them.
On Plum Island, the families are very Irish.
We know this because they seem to have the most Irish accents that I have ever heard.
I half expected Mrs Doyle to turn up and start offering everyone a nice cup of tea.
Sadly, this didnt happen.

Theyre suspicious of outsiders, each other and the world at large.
Theres so much about it that makes you stop and think, Wait a minute!
); and… well, the list is endless.
It has some fine moments of gore, especially in the fight in the last ten minutes.
All in all, an absolute waste.
Extras
There are none.
No, I tell a lie.
Theres a choice of 5.1 Dolby Digital (effective) or 2.0 stereo sound, and scene selection.
Not really extras, I suppose.
