No, this isn't a picture from some updated version of "Thriller" it's from George A. Romero's latest zombie piece "Survival of the Dead", and a piece is exactly what I found it to be.
The film follows a few familiar characters from Romero's last film "Diary of the Dead", a film I had high hopes for and found only 5 minutes of it to be really relevant, as well as some new ones. The setting this time is Plum Island, a small remote island run by two feuding Irish families, the O'Flynn's and the Muldoon's. The feud is a child-like "I'm right, you're wrong" argument that seems to have been going on since Elementary School, and this time it's about zombies! O'Flynn thinks the zombies should be killed right away and Muldoon wants to try and teach them to eat other kinds of meat, not humans. Anyway, the army assholes from "Diary of the Dead" (remember those guys who rob the RV at that one part) show up and agree with O'Flynn so they start a killing spree. Meanwhile, Muldoon's having trouble controlling the zombies (REALLLLLLY?) and has had to kill a bunch of them and O'Flynn's daughter (now a zombie) is riding her horse all around the island...
The plot just gets sillier from there including the introduction of O'Flynn's other daughter Jane, Janet's TWIN who was never mentioned before.
Da'fuck Romero, Da'fuck! What kinda garbarge is this? I mean I had my doubts because Diary was pretty crappy too, but at least that had the poignant end scene about how sick humanity is even to zombies...
But Family Feuds about Zombies??? Really??? IRISH FAMILY FEUDS ON ISLANDS OUTSIDE DELAWARE??? DA'FUCK?????
Dear Romero,
Here's something that a family should REALLY Feud about!
Sigh... If Diary of the Dead wasn't the death of the dead... then this is... :(
