George Romero Reveals Night of the Living Dead Not a Zombie Movie
6 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
I am a huge fan of George Romero and his work. I am also the first to admit that Land of the Dead was a big budget attempt at doing Romero which failed even with him at the helm. Diary of the Dead although creative was also a big dissapointment for me.
His new film Survival of the Dead does not appear to offer alot of promise from the trailers I have seen but that does not take away from the fact he is a legendary filmmaker who made the zombie genre what it is. Below you can watch a video interview where he talks about Zombie films and how his first film that broke him into the genre as the King of the Dead... was not even a zombie film as far as he saw it. Its an interesting interview that runs about 8 minutes in length and is very telling. »
The Disturbed From the Director of Dead Meat!
5 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
Does anybody besides me remember the Irish zombie film Dead Meat from 2004? It was a fantastic zombie film, overshadowed, of course, by the mainstream zombie films of its year - the remake of Dawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead. But, now, director Conor McMahon has a chance to live the glory with a new pic called The Disturbed he introduced at the Afm. Now, there is a trailer and poster for the film; However, I may not post the trailer because it practically tells the entire story - chalked full of spoilers. Sigh... »

Trailer of the Mountain Witch
4 November 2009 1:35 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
One of these years I have to attend the American Film Market. The great thing about Afm is that it more or less gives me a head's up on the movies I will more than likely be reviewing in the coming year. For example, Legend of the Mountain Witch, a film that looks like a melding of Blair Witch and The Final Terror, a film I can almost guarantee I will be the one at Dread Central reviewing when it arrives on DVD.
Written and directed by Alex Ryan (writer/producer of another upcoming low budget terror called The Queen of Screams), Legend of the Mountain Witch stars character actors Charles Cyphers, Eileen Dietz (Pazuzu's Face in The Exorcist), and Eugene Clark ("Big Daddy" in Land of the Dead) in this low budget shocker about a film crew seeking to uncover the truth about a legendary witch.

Zombie-alert: Red-band trailer drops for George A. Romero’s ‘Survival of the Dead’
2 November 2009 8:28 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
The father of the modern zombie returns with Survival of the Dead.
Check out the red-band trailer for the upcoming film. Beware youngsters, this is for mature audiences. In the two minutes, you can witness the zombies doing zombie things like eating people, looking menacing and walking slowly.
“On a small island off North America’s coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Although they are endangering their lives, the locals can’t bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones and are determined to find the cure. When a rebel assassinates his neighbors and friends, they banish him from the island.
Bent on revenge, he encounters a small band of survivors on the mainland and joins forces with them to return to the island and kill the flesh-eaters. But, as they get into the island, they discover to their horror the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, »

Land of the Dead
29 October 2009 6:40 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Land of the Dead Directed by George A. Romero Although the fourth installment in George A. Romero's influential zombie series may not have the overall impact of the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead, 2004 entry Land of the Dead proves that after four nearly four decades, he's still got the undead touch. The horror maestro has come a long way since his seminal 1968 classic, and Land is a satisfyingly splatter feast of gore and new ideas. Witty, clever and action-packed, this time around Romero benefits from the backing of a major studio. Playing with bigger stars - Land is the first Dead picture with name actors - and a higher budget of about $15 million, the slick production values and larger scope allow the director to more fully express his violent visions. Romero has a gift for lacing carnage with social commentary, and here he creates a radical and rebellious »

A Working Title podcast Episode 2: Surviving the Dead
27 October 2009 2:04 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
In 1968, director George A. Romero transformed cinematic zombies from a bunch of brain-damaged Haitians working on farms to a cannibalistic apocalyptic plague with Night of the Living Dead. The influential film was also helped solidify horror as a genre which filmmakers could experiment with fantasy as social allegory, draping metaphor in flayed skin and decorative loops of intestine. Following Night of the Living Dead, Romero has re-visited the well of the living dead five times and counting, with Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, diary of the Dead, and this year’s Survival of the Dead. Today, in the second episode from Sound on Sight spinoff show, your hosts Ricky D, Detroit Burns, and Al Kratina discuss George A. Romero’s influential zombie series starting with Land of the Dead to his most recent Survival of the Dead. listen now [1] Download the show in »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1
27 October 2009 5:54 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.
There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone »

Good Halloween Movie Double Features
24 October 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
With Halloween on the horizon, a lot of people might be planning a shindig of some sort to celebrate. Most will have costume parties, which is terrific, as they usually involve scantily clad females pretending to be something ordinary like a prison guard or dental hygienist, but really sexy. These parties will also most likely contain disturbing, horror-themed food-stuffs, and an increasingly gory display of body parts strewn across the premises like something out of a bad crime scene.
(I tell you, if I had money, I would invest in a Halloween store, as they seem to make mint and only have to work 3 months of the year).
There are also large groups of nerds out there (myself included) who enjoy subjecting their friends to horror movies they may have not yet seen, or seen with a group of people, which is the best way to experience most horror flicks. »
Fall Frights: The Hills Have Eyes (2006; Film Review)
20 October 2009 12:28 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 03/03/2006
Say this for the recent trend toward remaking horror favorites from the ’70s: It’s likely that projects as unremittingly grisly and brutal as the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn Of The Dead and now The Hills Have Eyes might have had a lot more trouble getting in the studio doors were they not based on recognizable known quantities. Whatever one thinks of their overall quality, it has to be acknowledged that the Chainsaw and Dawn reduxes made honorable attempts to recapture the intensity of their forebears. But the 21st-century Hills is the first of this group to outdo its predecessor, elaborating on Wes Craven’s original in ways that both honor and improve upon it, with genuinely bloodcurdling results.

Interview with George A. Romero
16 October 2009 1:46 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
George A. Romero knows what scares you. He also knows what your insides look like, and since 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, he’s been putting both on display in what’s now an epic six film zombie series. The first three films in the hexalogy, widely regarded as classics of the horror genre, were released over the course of nearly twenty years. But the new millennium has already seen three additional entries, 2005’s Land of the Dead, 2007’s Diary of the Dead, and the upcoming Survival of the Dead, a sort of zombie western that takes place on a blood-soaked Delaware island. But despite the often graphic violence, Romero’s work is always rich with subtext, commenting on everything from consumerism to the military-industrial complex. I had the opportunity to sit down with the affable director to talk zombies, allegories, and how to waste a day exploding a head. »

Fantastic Fest 09: Another review of Survival Of The Dead

Review by: rochefort
Rating: 3 out of 10
"Survival of the Dead", George A. Romero's sixth entry in the ongoing zombie mythology he created with "Night of the Living Dead", is upon us. In "Diary of the Dead", George reset the timeline back to the initial days of the zombie outbreak, and you may remember a key scene in which the main characters were robbed by a group of Awol soldiers. "Survival" follows those soldiers as they head to an island where two long-feuding families are dealing with the zombie plague in their own unique way. One group believes we should kill 'em all, but the other side elects to chain up their undead kin and leave them be until somebody comes up with a cure. The zombies in each of Romero's movies have always been just the »

George Romero Discusses Survival of the Dead
3 October 2009 11:03 AM, PDT | HugAZombie | See recent HugAZombie news »
George Romero is currently bringing his Survival of the Dead around the globe to every film festival, and after the Survival screening at Austin's FantasticFest, Romero talked to ShockTilYouDrop about his sixth zombie film, only two years removed from arguably his worst zombie film, Diary of the Dead (though if you want to argue about Diary, we'll win; it sucked).
Romero explained how he got the idea to make Survival the first of a trio of spin-off films from Diary rather than make a straight sequel.
When we made the sale to the Weinsteins…I started to think about it. I said to myself, I don't really want to go anywhere completely new, and if it looks like there's going to be a few more of these, maybe I could use this device of taking a couple of other characters in Diary I would like to track. I had had »

The 'Zombieland' Study Guide: Hollywood Helps You Prepare For The Zombie Apocalypse
2 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Do you have a zombie plan? Do you have a multi-phase strategy in place for when the zombie apocalypse inevitably takes place? Are you adequately prepared for the day when humanity is left to fend for its very soul in the face of a world overrun by the ravenous undead?
Of course I have a zombie plan. Living in Harlem and mere blocks from the Metro North train tracks, I plan to forage for ammunition and food for some weeks after the initial infection, and then follow the train lines north along the Hudson River. I will eventually make my way to Nova Scotia, an island with quality farmland where zombie infection can easily be contained. My zombie dispatching weapons of choice will be a modified aluminum baseball bat and a sawed-off shotgun. I am, if nothing else, a traditionalist.
“Zombieland” got me going back over my strategy, checking it for flaws. »

Zombieland (Pat's Film Review)
1 October 2009 11:07 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
It's only fitting that the first thing you see in Zombieland is a small American flag--just like the one in the opening of George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead, because it's a fun exploration of the entire Living Dead genre as a coming of age movie.
Zombieland plays like an alternate adventure taking place in the universe of Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead. Fast zombies are the order of the day and we learn via flashback that fat people were the first ones to go. The opening credits neatly encapsulate the end of society as the zombie virus spreads.
Nerdy, virginal "Columbus" (Jesse Eisenberg) stays alive through his anal retentive series of rules, such as "Cardio", so you can outrun sprinting zombies and "Avoid Bathrooms"--because the undead like to hide in there. His rule "Don't be a hero" is especially good--because every hero in a Romero »
