Quint thinks SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD is a huge improvement over DIARY OF THE DEAD!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here to give you my thoughts on George A. Romero’s SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD.
I want to state up front that my expectations going into this movie were pretty low. I hated DIARY OF THE DEAD. And that’s not a word I use lightly. I felt it was a horrible film that made me embarrassed for Romero as a fan of his work. It’s possible that I walked away from his new movie impressed simply because he made a real movie again, but I don’t think so. I think he really stepped up to the plate this time out and delivered a fun movie.
But that’s kind of Romero’s M.O. The dude’s career is a rollercoaster. I’m a big fan of some of his non-Dead work like THE CRAZIES and MARTIN, but he’s had some horrible misfires in his heyday as well.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD moves back to straightforward filmmaking from that failed experiment POV documentary gimmick of DIARY. Don’t get me wrong, that style can work. CLOVERFIELD is flawed, but makes good use of it, REC is awesome, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is pretty damn good. I don’t hate the idea of Romero making a movie like that, but coupled with the most uninteresting annoying and horribly acted characters in any Romero film since SEASON OF THE WITCH it made me want to claw my eyes out.
Romero shot this new film on a budget as well, but what a difference a good director of photography and some good old fashioned filmmaking can make.
The social commentary this time out is war. Romero boils it down, simplifies it, making it about two men on an Island that have a family feud going back centuries. I wouldn’t be surprised if Romero intended the O’Flynns and the Muldoons to have been at war all the way back to their roots in Ireland.
While that’s where the political message lies, the actual plot follows the national guard guys who rob the film school assclowns in DIARY led by Alan Van Sprang. As you’d expect with Romero we get a diverse group, multicultural and multisexual. Athena Karkanis plays a hot woman soldier nicknamed Tomboy who is unfortunately trapped with a squad of men. It wouldn’t be so bad except she’s a lesbian in a world where only men seem to be surviving. We also have the joker of the group, a charming Latin dude and, eventually, a civilian teenager who is good with a gun.
There was surprisingly little shown of this group looting, but I’m fine with that. The story’s on the island, not on how many people this traveling band of soldiers rob. In fact, it helps make the team a lot more likable than I was expecting.
The top O’Flynn is banished from his island and leaves his him and family behind. So he puts a video on the internet, which apparently can survive the zombie apocalypse, advertising this great island refuge that is safe. Of course, when people show up he’s like a profiteer during WW2 who steals all the money and gold from the Jews in exchange for safe harbor.
And it’s not even safe harbor. He sells them boats to go to this island for the double purpose of getting rich and pissing off his arch rival who believes the island only belongs to the Muldoons’.
Naturally he gets more than he bargained for when the national guard guys show up in their armored Brinks truck. But that turns out to be a blessing in disguise as he recruits the team to help him retake the island.
There’s been lots of talk about how Romero employs a sort of Western filmmaking style this time out and that’s partly true. The scenes between O’Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) and Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick) definitely play out that way. Long homestead establishing shots, Mexican stand-offs, etc, but the rest of the movie plays out in a fairly standard army vs. zombies way.
As expected the gore is very well done. Even in Diary there’s gore moments to like courtesy of Romero knocking his head together with the brilliant dudes at KNB. The gore in this movie is pretty small until the shit really hits the fan at the end, but we do get a Romero trademarked complete disembowelment and some other surprises I won’t spoil.
All that said, it’s not a flawless movie. Some of the acting is limited, especially with the lead bad guy, but there’s nothing in this movie as laughably bad as the overly dramatic teacher from the last movie. The ending is a bit muddled and over complicated, but it has a solid foundation that supports the shenanigans at the end.
And some people might have a problem with a couple of the more Looney Tunes moments (there’s literally a scene with a giant bundle of dynamite that might as well have ACME stamped on it), but then again this is the man who ended his masterpiece with a damn pie fight.
Above all else it felt to me like Romero had a solid vision that was extremely well executed. According to the director’s pre-screening Q&A they shot the movie on the Red Camera and it looked very sharp, sharper than a lot of Red work I’ve seen courtesy of Adam Swica. Much better than his work on Diary, but he was hobbled from the get go by the premise of that movie.
I wouldn’t call it a return to form, but this is definitely Romero on an upswing. It’s not his best movie, but it’s very far away from his worst.

Bring on Zombieland!

Well, 4 minutes or so. This movie looks look worthy. I shall give it one.
-
I'm down! I didn't hate Diary, but man...it just wasn't as good as it should've been. I did however love Land Of The Dead. We'll see about this one!
-
Likely as hamfisted as everything he's done since Dawn.
-
...I never noticed the AWOL national guard guy from this and Diary of the Dead was in it, playing an army guy.
-
There. I said it.
-
I even saw it twice in theaters. With Diary, I barely made it through one showing. What a POS! I hate when one of my fav directors just completely misses the mark. Makes me reconsider liking them at all. Like Tarantino with Death Proof. Luckily, Basterds was amazing.
-
John Carpenter = everything after Mouths of Madness. Village of the Damned was decent but boy, did things drop off after that.
-
Sure, a bit hamfisted in places, but then again, what Romero movie isn't? Still, cool flick.
-
Sam Peckinpah = Convoy.
-
Has to be my favorite Zombie movie, and even as an official sequel to Dawn.

and will probably be extradited to the U.S. for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/701739 Polanski has asked a U.S. appeals court in California to overturn a judges' refusal to throw out his case. He claims misconduct by the now-deceased judge who had arranged a plea bargain and then reneged on it.
His victim, Samantha Geimer, who long ago identified herself publicly, has joined in Polanski's bid for dismissal, saying she wants the case to be over. She sued Polanski and reached an undisclosed settlement. I saw recently the documentary "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" and agree there were shenanigans during his original sentencing by a judge who liked the spotlight, so hopefully he serves his remaining short time then is released. -
Romero directed Season Of The Witch? Huh?
-
WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FUCKING ZOMBIE MOVIES??? I'll give Romero some leaniency, and Zombieland looks like a hoot, but sweet-jesus-fuck-me-gently, could somebody put a copyright on the concept of canabalistic undead people, and put an end to the ceaseless movies featuring zombies, fast zombies, slow zombies, funny zombies, virus infected zombies, pet zombies, zombies in caves, zombies in space, bad-cgi zombies that fight will smith in new york, zombies in England, zombies in apartment buildings, point of view zombies, zombies in video games, zombies in comics, zombies in books, zombies, zombies, zombies. The only thing I loathe more than zombies is emotionally angst-filled teenaged vampires. Now, there's an idea for a non-shitty underworld movie. Instead of vampires versus werewolves, we could have hablophile 90210-vampires falling in love with hoards of teen zombies, who eat them, and then choke on their yearning puppy-dog eyes until their heads explode. What the fuck has happened to horror?
-
FOR DRUGGING AND RAPING A 13-YEAR OLD GIRL. And he did it to her more than once. Would you be so sympathetic to a pedophile if he didn't make movies you liked? Jesus, the man got a good plea bargain because of his fame in the first place. Zero sympathy.
-
In some places it's called JACK'S WIFE, in others HUNGRY WIVES. Was made in the early 70s - it's not the HALLOWEEN III movie!

Breaking news.
Polanski, lured to the Zurich Film Festival by the promise of a lifetime achievement award and under-age sex with some Swiss schoolgirls has been arrested for ass raping a 13 yr old back in '78.

Since AICN doesn't seem interested in any of these, I thought I'd pitch in.Surrogates definitely wants to be i, Robot, but misses the mark. the advertising is a bit misleading. The surrogates don't shut off until the very end of the movie. maybe the first time I can remember the ending of a film being used in the trailer. It's an ok movie. It's just such a bizarre concept that everyone can afford their own personal robot. The film makes no attempt to respond to this. I did like the high concept and they do some interesting things with it. Definitely worth a rental. Just got back from Pandorum. It included a trailer for Daybreakers which looks really amazing. In daybreakers, nearly the entire planet is made up of vampires who harvest blood from humans in a Matrix-type way. There is a rebel band of humans who resist them and have apparently found a cure for vampirism.Pandorum was freaking amazing, particularly the first half hour or so. It's essentially Dead Space meets Event Horizon. It's very claustrophobic and the villains are scary. The production design is also very convincing. This film takes sedveral opportunities to disorient the viewer so that you aren't quite sure what's going on. Insteade of frustrating you, it just makes it a little more nerve-wracking. My one complaint is that it gets pretty conventional towards the end.
-
... and it was horse shit. Worst film of the festival hands down, and probably in the top ten of worst films i've ever seen.
Romero should be making good zombie films by now, no more of this "step in the right direction" crap. just make em good or dont make em at all Georgie boy -
Cloverfield is awesome, douche.
That is all. -
...was good, not great
-
He should've done a direct sequel to Land liked he talked about. I believe he wanted to call it Road of the Dead.
-
...Quint. But if you're wrong, I swear, from one Robert Shaw character to another, I will haunt you. LOTD and DOTD were both crushing experiences for someone who cut his baby teeth on the original NOTLD.
-
Way step up the lack of coverage. Much appreciated. As far as this movie....?...I know opinions are opinions but this movie got crushed as a piece of shit in the last TB and now Quint is saying it is better than Diary? I didn't hate Diary but it sure wasn't great. So confused.

It's going to get ugly

"AND MY WIFE JUST HAD OUR UNBORN BABY CUT OUT OF HER STOMACH." YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT A MAN IN THAT SITUATION JUST NEEDS A LITTLE STRANGE CAN'T YOU?"
-
Blase college kids "Dude..like...a.zombie.." OOh, I'm like totally sooo scared. The movie wasn't fresh, unpredictable or engaging at all. Anything is a step up.
-
Diary was more embarrassing than Land but I also felt like it had more authentically good moments. I liked the zombies in the swimming pool and really the whole bit with the rich kid being sanity challenged. The bit with the Amish guy wasn't the worst thing I'd ever seen...ahhh, I don't have the heart for this. I love Romero. But when you're digging for nuggets that small you know the mine's played out. I guess I'd rather watch Diary again than Land, though, at least if I could fast forward through the resolution of the Texas girl's story. Oh, and the lead's horrible starting and ending narration. "I've added some music to try to scare you..." Yeah. Now I'm just depressed.
-
the "Is he dead now" sequence lifted from (and done with much less style than in) the Savini Night of the Living Dead remake. Loved that Patricia Tallman. Couldn't really act, but what an overbite.

"My zombie movies aren't about horror, they're symbols"
by thegreatwhatzit
Jesus! Can it, George! You can subtly telegraph a societal message but your "military/bad, women/nice" pretensions are about as insightful as a kick in the nuts. And, underestimating your audience, you reprise the same "message"--over and over again--until the "zombies" are eclipsed with overripe ('60s) dialogue. Remember NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD?; it's message (intentional or not) didn't conflict with the "horror". Compare with LAND OF THE DEAD's lame conclusion where the"message" was imploded with your neon-lit soap box. We want a horror film, not another diatribe. By the way, several reviews have already pegged SURVIVAL as the worst of the franchise.
-
every single line spoken by the professor. From the extra credit bit at the start to him using the bow and arrows. Cringe cringe cringe. And pretty much the whole warehouse sequence, from the zombie who died of the heart attack to the convenient internet scene to the horrible/unbelievable "I'm not leaving until you give me what I want" bit.

Red Ned Lynch, I SECOND THE PATRICIA TALLMAN LOVE....
by carlthormark1978
In 1990, her and Lauren Holly (In Ford Fairlane) both had that tall, long leg, short red hair thing going on.
-
I was very psyched to see LOTD. In fact, I have played LOTD video game a dozen times and beat it...it's great! I was let down by LOTD to the point I was pissed leaving the theater. DOTD was a movie I saw based on mixed reviews. I will concede there were moments, but somehow I just can't stand Romeros direction of actors. I am enthusiastic about Zombieland and the prospect of WWZ. BRING IT ON!
-
Patricia Tallman looks like a zombie.
-
...I'm the other kind. Instead of getting angry I spent a reasonable time in denial over both Land and Diary, trying to convince myself that...well, that they weren't bad.

what huh Polanski arrested while making Survival of the Dead?
by takingscorpioscalls
take this elsewhere fucksticks.
-
Romero made 3 movies that I really didn't have to make excuses to enjoy. NOTLD, Dawn OTD, and Day OTD. The other two were a bitter pill to take. It's like he had a basic idea, and hashed his way around it instead of making a solid concept.
-
God it was so annoying to hear the characters discuss the fact that they were filming in every scene.
-
I love crazy talkbacks.
-
Fucking spoiler warning asshole. I was thinking of seeing Surrogates and you just had to talk about the ending. No wonder they delete your emails. Asshole.

this film is easily the worst of Romeros career. It looks like one of those 10 dollar straight to video zombie movies we see come out on a weekly basis. This film is so bad that even though Romero was in attendance I wanted to walk out..& I rarely even think about doing that. even the main actor in this flick made fun of it during the QnA in Toronto. I love Romero, but this is easily as terrible as anything Uwe Boll has made...seriously.
-
Night accidentally backed into racism, so naturally that's not in the text. Dawn makes sure it has one character draw the comparison between zombies and shoppers. By Diary, he's hitting us over the head with it. Just one of the reasons I too fucking hated Diary. That, and the god awful acting and Romero's complete inability to film in that POV style - shaky cam every scene EXCEPT every kill shot is perfectly framed; characters sneak off to have private conversations right in front of the running camera (and camera man). Land may not have been a masterpiece, but if Survival can match it, I'll be thrilled.
-
...THAT ROMERO'S 'ORIGINAL' IDEA FOR DAY OF THE DEAD WAS NEVER FULLY REALIZED. CHRIST, BUT THAT WAS A HORRID FUCKING CONCEPT AND SCRIPT.
-
Does anyone really like the pie fight at the end of Dawn?
-
After Night and Dawn, Day just felt too limited in scope.
-
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
-
...but it still towered over that horribly silly and boring [REC]. I really hope that Survival is a return to form for Romero.
-
you just sit and wait for it until the end of the movie, or it never happens which is infinitely more annoying.
-
The pie or the scope?
-
that because of the limited group conflict in Dawn compared to Night that the next logical step could have been to follow a single survivor. Or it could have been following the ever-present local militias/biker gangs who would have an even more stable group dynamic.
-
for the pie fight
-
...my disappointment with Diary was as tangible as the bile rising in my throat during the screening. GO ROMERO!
-
...they are actually aliens.
-
Romero remaking 2 Girls 1 Cup into a feature length film would be a huge improvement over Diary.
-

2. Police Academy 6

overrun the earth. Maybe in a ciouple of generations but not in the time frame of these movies. That fact alone makes the premise far too tired to work. Even Night of the Living Dead assumes that the crisis was manageable.
-
Just talking about theory. And the first movie suggests that the crisis would -eventually- be manageable. I guess Romero just got off on the idea that humans would wipe each other out as efficiently as the zombies. But if that were the case then we could dispense with the zombie plot altogether.
-
Liked Land, (thought opening credit sequence was one of, if not, the best part of the movie). Didn't like Diary, (gave me a headache, but enjoyed acid-head-melt part & Amish guy). Lookin forward to this one, (perhaps a double-feature w/Zombieland?). Yee-Haw!! Long live the living dead! Viva Romero!!
-
Quint has never been more wrong on a film.
this film is actually horrendous, I am a DIEHARD romero fan & Im telling you that if you thought Diary sucked you wont last 20 minutes watching this...its an embarrassment for everyone involved. The fact that it was directed by a legend makes it worse. You thought Argento had gotten bad? wait till you see this. -
I hate to say it but the slow zombies just dont work anymore. They arent threatening enough & this film proves that.
-
He used to come on the forum of his old website, years ago, and interact with everyone -- such a great guy. I'm glad he's making movies again, even though I'm not so crazy about his recent ones.
-
Romero has been bad for a while now. He needs to save money instead of making so many damn shitty films and make a really sick one. http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
Hard to call something that's in the trailer a spoiler! I just pointed out that Surrogates is not about "what happens when all the surrogates turn off?" as the trailer suggests. It's obviously a metaphor for our "e-lives" and our disconnection from our fellow man. The film explores this concept through Bruce Willis ajnd the mystery of a weapon that, when fired at a surrogate, also kills the user. The story, and just about everything about it, is very similar to i, Robot. It's just not as concise a story and it's not executed as well. go see it. I didn't spoil anything.

Christ, Herc will post a photo of Christian Bale drinking a cup of coffee on the set of his new movie (made that up for illustration)and start a new TB, but no post on the biggest movie news in a long time?

I really can't think of anohter director like Romero
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
He's quite unique. I'm not talking about his directing style here but the fact he created a world back in 1968 and is happy, even today, to continually revisit it.The only other movie I can think of that's had this many sequels is Dr. No but, even then, it hasn't been the same director all these years. Can you imagine if Terence Young was still alive and had just released Quantum Of Solace?
-
Your post wasn't there when I started writing about Quantum Of Solace.
-
You're right about two out of three.I first learnt about Daybreakers from AICN a few months ago when they published a link to the trailer for it (if it's the same one you watched, it has Placebo's version of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" playing towards the end).I'm interested in Pandorum and it's shame it's not being covered on here. Thanks for making me think it might not be a bad movie. I'll got and check it out.
-
I'm going to be grinning for weeks. I never thought he would have to serve any time.
Is it wrong of me to want people who drug and sodomize 13 year old girls to spend time in jail? I mean, he is a director, after all... don't they have different laws, like congress? -
that is all

Seriously, all his latest films have been straight from the Uwe Boll camp of film making.. at least Uwe gets half decent actors to star in his godawful flicks and even if they just dial it in for the money, they are 10 times better than the nobodies romer populates his straight-to-the-fucking-bin video garbage, i swear, if he keep releasing shite after shite he'll end up killing the zombie genre, move on Romero, we love your original dead trilogy even if they have dated like fuck but for the love of god stop making zombie movies! and as for the knobhead that actually had the gall to say Diary was better than Rec.. oh please fuck off, your beyond help mate
-
...when the world runs out off '..off the dead' titles!
-
That above review wasn't a glowing recommendation. If I had a star rating system it'd be something like 2 1/2 stars out of 5. There are good things in the movie and I do believe it's a massive step above his last film. Absolutely feel free to disagree with the ranking of Romero's dead movies. That's one of the great things about movies as an art form, people can have different opinions. We're all wired differently. Romero might be doing better, but he's going to have to take another step forward in order to get close to his first three (and best) zombie flicks.

Quint, do you not think he’s harming himself and the genre in ge
by bongo123
By releasing these downright awful zombie movies? I mean, we all have a soft spot for the guy but jesus there comes a time when even his fans have to admit his latest films are STV garbage and that many other great directors are actually moving the genre forward whereas each new Romero flick takes the whole thing 5steps back. I haven’t seen his latest flick and to be honest from the atrocious trailers and reviews from people not on the Romero Koolaid i probably wont bother. Thankgod for flicks like Zombieland, fingers crossed it scores big and movies like WWZ can get the kinda budget it deserves
-
Made some good plays in his youth. Now he gets the ball and can't finish the play. It's his name people are leaning on to promise return to former glory. His last 2 projects that I have seen have been simply hack work. Poor stories, poor character direction, poor pacing and BAD acting. There was no suspension of disbelief. There was no engagement. Other directors zombie movies have destroyed Romero's work since Day of the Dead, and that was over 15 years ago. I beg Romero to either retire from zombie movies, or hire someone who can write the script and direct competently. IOW: stick a fork in him, he's done.
-
Did anyone else notice that the prof managed to milk his hip flask for days and yet still manage to get sozzled its contents?
I like a whisky and can tell you it would take a magical hip flask to get any sort of buzz on without lousing the lot in one go. But thats maybe the jock in me.
Maybe he had a litre bottle somewhere and kept topping it up? -
A has-been movie director claws his way from the grave again and again and, like Big Daddy, grabs a camera and mindlessly goes through the motions of his former job. A group of college kids band together to behead the zombie director in a bid for YouTube fame. Blunt social commentary ensues.

"WITHOUT THE SURF SCENE AND PLAYBOY BUNNIES, OF COURSE."
-
...of the top ten horror directors of the modern era. If Romero isn't on your list you made your list wrong. Fine to say the game has passed him by. Fine to say he should stop making films now. Fine to say he's embarrassing himself and hurting his legacy. But show some stinking respect.
-
seriously, I've been waiting for a review on this incredible film from you guys for months now, what is taking so long? this was hitting festivals in the U.S last year, and is now in its second run before its release!
-
That's worth the price of admission all by itself. Love that guy.
-
the whole movie is spoiled?
-
you accidentally left your caps lock button on
-
Holy Shit!
-
...Romero is now making the only movies he can get the pittance of a budget for making. And odds are they are going to continue to be zombie movies, of one kind or another, until that money runs out. Which is sort of sad for a guy who was one of the giants of the genre. But for other subjects try watching Martin, or The Crazies, or even Creepshow. Actually, once you've gone through puberty and girls don't seem all ookie like zombies anymore, try Knightriders, which features the lovely Patricia Tallman.

I'd rather watch paint dry than to see her "acting".

Senile meaning forgetful ( he forgets how to scare his audience)
Senile meaning confused ( Most of the dialog and the entire story was dumb and confusing. He focuses on the feud between 2 families and leaves the zombies as a 2nd nature in the film) Senile Dementia takes place after 65 years of age. and George DEFINATLY has it. Ive seen better amature films on YOU TUBE that scares better than this one.
The majority of the film takes place in front of a barn, where a few hicks are fueding over nothing really. The zombies are kept behind a 5 foot fence ( easy to climb over) but they stand there and watch the argument of the hicks. Thats basically the story. Zombies watch hicks arguing. AND THE CLIMAX was Zombie eats horse. The END! Moral of the story is George A Romero has become one of the undead himself. The only reason this film was made was because he USED TO be the master of zombie films. Its time to bury him now. Bye George, you will be missed.
Maybe it would be a better idea to go back to the beginning. The 60s. Make a movie that led up to "night of the living dead" How did it start?
