Fro T @frothizzlereviews 2 days ago My favorite filmmaker at his worst. I’ve always been sad that Survival was Romero’s last before he passed away. There's some nice moments of carnage, but it doesn't save how weightless this movie is. 3/10 See more Rich C. @Cordu0702 Mar 24, 2026 Decent film. Not George's best. See more George M @Milkyway Oct 19, 2025 The worst of Romero's Living Dead films, I really have to wonder what he was thinking making this trash. So there's an enclave of irish people living off the coast of Delaware? And they believe zombies can be cured? (This and the zombies eating a horse after only eating people in the other films, ripped off from The Walking Dead ). A silly, ill-acted, ill-conceived waste of time.

See more DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Oct 30, 2024 In many ways, Survival of the Dead marks a return to Romero's low-budget B-movie roots for his untimely swansong, one that I certainly enjoyed more than his previous venture. There's a real down-and-dirty simplicity to this one, rapidly paced with buckets of gore and absurdist glee, a neo-western zombie fable with a group of good ol' Irish lads pulling the ultimate Hail Mary. The film certainly isn't without a sense of humour, several jokes and a multitude of kills had me chuckling quite a bit, it just lacks a lot of Romero's sharp satire and is more a cerebral means of cinematically satiating one's wanton bloodlust. Philosophical discussions are brief, to the point and rife with real-world applications as the zombies keep coming. Romero sticks to the traditional zombie shuffle, with herds approaching in slow but determined motion. In keeping with the puckish touch for which he is justly renowned, our motley band find a few new and ingenious ways to dispose of them when ammo runs low, including discovering a new way to light a cigar that is both visually lovely, viscerally disturbing and thematically piquant. Romero's direction is clean if unmemorable, the writing is sly although treading on old ground and the performances are solid from all involved. Survival of the Dead works on every level for which it aims and without shortchanging any of them offering a reasonably entertaining variation on a familiar theme, although it lacks the inspiration that would make it stand as an original in its own right.
