Romero always struck me as an aging lettuce-smoking hippie. One has to wonder if his creative decline coincided with drugs rotting his brain. I don’t think he’s made a classic since 1985’s “Day of the Dead.” “Monkey Shines” and “Bruiser” contained some interesting ideas, but that’s it. If “Survival” doesn’t even reach the quality level of “Land” I will be a very sad fanboy.

I can’t say that I’m too surprised about this, but I am still disappointed. Romero’s success with Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead seem like flukes given the downward trajectory of each film that followed in the cycle. Even he seems to have lost interest in the topic by now, but constrained by directorial typecasting he’s forced to do one zombie movie after the other. It’s actually quite sad.
