SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD

George A. Romero
USA, CAN 2009

V'09

On a small island off North America's coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Yet, the islanders can't bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones, despite the growing danger from those they once held dear. A rebel among them hunts down all the zombies he can find, only to be banished from the island for assassinating his neighbors and friends. On the mainland, he encounters a small band of survivors in search of an oasis on which to build a new life. Barely surviving an attack from a mass of ravenous flesheaters ... They commandeer a zombie-infested ferry and sail to the island. There, to their horror, they discover that the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, pretending to live \"normal\" lives. With bloody consequences.

People often ask, \"Don't you feel trapped in the genre?\" Far from it. I have loved horror films all my life. The zombies I unwittingly created so long ago have given me an opportunity to make films that criticize, satirize, poke fun at human behaviours.
(George A. Romero)
