Even Romero's worst zombie film (Survival of the Dead) is still 10X better than a vast majority of the zombie films I've had the misfortune of viewing these past few years!

Worst zombie movie of 2009. Survival of the Dead is just a weak movie and I know George A. Romero can do better than that.

George A Romero's final zombie film arrived when the world was awash with zombie movies and unfortunately it really doesn't stand out from the crowd.

Obviously low budget following the huge flop that was Diary of the Dead, this has the feel of a low budget direct to dvd movie and for the first part is quite slick and satisfying, but during the second half Romero takes us into Hatfield and McCoys and zombies western territory and the whole thing becomes decidedly less interesting.

The effects are poor, in fact the CGI is very poor and the zombies themselves, well at times i couldn't tell the living from the dead, especially in the case of the two sisters.

The first time i watched Survival of the Dead i really liked it but time has not been kind to it unfortunately.

From the producers of Corner Gas!

Yeah, a big nope from me. I can't believe Diary of the Dead is supposedly worse than this. Dry convoluted drama with bad CGI and bad acting.
Strong Canadian TV aesthetic (but not in a cute 80's Degrassi way).

Once they introduced the twin sister plot twist I was officially out.

My friend paid $5 for a used copy of this on bluray. Sounds about right.

Finally forced myself to watch this. The reason it took me so long is that after all the bad reviews and having not forgotten about Diary of the Dead, I just didn't want to link any more bad memories to George A. Romero. It's incomprehensible that the same man that gave us Night of the Living Dead and it's three sequels also gave us this (yes I have love for Land even). It just finally got to me that there was a Romero zombie movie that I had not seen and it was just somehow wrong.

I don't regret watching it though. The story was ambitious for the budget, but it was also quite ridiculous at times. No mater... my love for Night through Land won't be effected by this.

Forget about low-tech, this is no-tech.

Filmed in Canada, unlike the other Dead films, Survival of the Dead also feels out of place among Romero's other works. Absent are any interesting characters and any of Romero's customary wit, the plot is simply weak. Even the zombie action is rather drab, and the cg effects are not pleasing to the eye. It's a shame his last film was a disappointing one, after reaching the heights he did earlier in his career.

*sigh*

It's like Romero forgot what made his original two or three films in the series so watchable. Yes, this film is still about humans in a zombie apocalypse. But it wasn't about sparring Irish immigrant families, it wasn't about eyeroll-inducing jokes and laughable set pieces, it wasn't about schlocky acting and awful CGI.

There was an authenticity to the original films that these last few films lack. And this entry is perhaps the most forgettable. The plot is a tired retread of the Hatfields versus the McCoys feud we've seen so often in art, but now with zombies. There are some forgettable soldiers and a forgettable teenage kid they befriend. There are twins?

Hard pass.

Somehow the effects downgraded since Land of the Dead which shows how low budget this film was. Wish George Romero stopped with these zombie films after Dawn of the Dead.

It's probably one of the weakest "big" zombie movies out there, and definitely Romero's worst. the comedy timing is terrible and unfunny. The story is uninteresting and the characters are bland.

Just what these zombie movies needed, a 2 dimensional villain who the entire plot is based around!

The ending made me chuckle but you have to watch over an hour of late 2000s SyFy original writing to see it

Era la última que me faltaba de las 6 películas de Night of the Living Dead del gran maestro Romero.
Cada una me gusta de diferente manera. Haré mi ranking personal en una lista.
De Survival of the Dead: ¿Hasta donde vamos a llegar para probar nuestro punto? Y ví varias cosas que luego hicieron en The Walking Dead. Nada mal pero no es mi favorita

Tiene una premisa y desarrollo muy ramplones, pero creo que eso no es excusa para dejar de gestionar otras áreas; los efectos especiales son una basura (como ocurre con la serie b de algunos directores en decadencia) y el montaje es superfluo por no decir otra cosa. Debo admitir, al contrario de como afirman críticos y usuarios de esta misma página, que la película en sí no se me ha hecho tan pesada como a otros, aunque aprovecho a decir que le sobra tiempo.

Que yo sepa, no conozco a ningún actor/actriz, destacaría a los dos viejos que salen, y al líder militar, también mencionaría a la hija pero... apenas tiene espacio.

George A. Romero no ha vuelto ha dirigir ninguna producción más después de La Resistencia de los Muertos, que fue rodada en 2009.
Creo que ha tenido un largo tiempo para decidir qué hacer.

No la recomiendo. Pero si quieres probar... allá tú.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Well, at the very least this is better than “Diary of the Dead”. Not by a huge margin, but this at least looks like a movie, and features actors who are passable some of the time, rather than bad all of the time.

But this is still a subpar zombie movie with a pretty uninteresting plot, pacing problems throughout, mediocre makeup, and seriously bad CGI work.

What a massive bummer that these were the movies Romero went out on.

A band of soldiers searching for a supposed safe haven but end up in the middle of a family feud, one family co-existing with family members who have turned!! 🙄

The sixth in the series of George A. Romero's dead films...parts 4 & 5 weren't exactly great let's be honest but this one is especially weak, woeful in fact compared to the original trilogy. The decision to opt towards more comedy in this installment backfires quite spectacularly... there's one funny moment, the rest are painful to watch. There is also zero scare factor on show either!
It's a shame this film survived to it's completion, very poor, not recommended.

4/10

As a straight-up comedy, this is actually acceptable. As anything else, its just stupid as hell. I quite enjoyed it though, especially because Diary was such a stinker.
