Always thought of myself as a GAR fan, but I'd never even heard of this! Looks a right POS. Hated Diary and Land and he's lost his touch. Might still catch this but I reckon it will be the final nail in his coffin. Saying that people will always pay for the George A. Romero's... line. He's a zombie director in every sense!

Anyone seen it?

I watched the trailer and that was enough. Thought it looked and sounded dreadful. Take a look at this:

I thought Land Of The Dead was a bit of a letdown but as Romero keeps churning this stuff out, it's looking more and more like a classic.

I'll just stick with Night/Dawn/Day/Land.

btw Two feuding Irish families, the "Muldoons" and the "O'Flynns" complete with laughable tinker accents for their old geezer leaders.

This is BETTER than Diary and Land of the Dead.... there's a part where it does actually cross over with one of the other films

Diary was my first real installment of Romero and I was totally underwhelmed but there were moments of pure genius in there. Survival however may be a little Cliche'd but because it doesn't take itself that seriously you can sit back and enjoy it rather than pick holes in the social commentary ala Diary.

well hopefully region free...cause there's still no word on when the hell the US will see this, and I for one want it!!!

Very interesting, thanks for the link. I think there needs to be a rethink for the artwork:

Nice poster.

The Bloody Disgusting site said this about the film:

"...cartoon gags plague the film (like when a grenade blows off a wall and it falls down showing everyone inside covered in black) and even the kills were WAYYYYYY over the top. My perspective of a Romero film is that when a zombie dies, you cheer 'cause it was cool, not because it was a funny coincidence."

Pay no mind to early reviews and decide for yourself when you own it....maybe even post your thoughts here.

Yes, I'll be curious to read bladerunner's verdict/thoughts. Ditto with anyone else that picks this up...
