O no! You're kidding. I was afraid of it but now it's true. Damn. But you're right: still gonna watch it.

How disappointing, that the only continuing horror franchise with its creator still at the helm would sink to depths such as you describe, with not even the dubious novelty of a "zombies in space/the future/in the hood" that other franchises offer in lieu of genuine creativity.
And yes, I will watch, with expectations at ground level.

I feel like crying...

Land was horrible, Diary was even worse so that figures. I miss the Romero from DOTD... Sooooo much....

Oh dear... still going to see it though.

Ha! Now I really can't wait to see this.

hahaha. your right I'm still going to watch it!!

After Diary I swore I'd never see another Romero movie again. And I won't.

but what about the deep and brilliant social commentary?

Maybe it's a social commentary on how most of the movies these days seem to be crappy imitaitions or remakes without the same passion or soul of the originals... Oops, did I say movies... i meant everything!

The IMDb link is wrong.

I think if George Romero took a crap and filmed it, Harry Knowles would still program it at his festival. Maybe Toronto too.

Romero is a God, but his time is clearly over. Stop supporting this crap and let's get some new blood in the system.

Meh... I've watched worse zombie films before and I'll probably watch worse ones afterwards. I'll still give it a go.

I felt Romero ripped me off when I purchased Diary. It couldn't have possibly been worse than Land, how wrong I was. Land was light years better than Diary and I imagine Diary will probably end up being better than Survival. Romero is just in it for the money and to have a pulpit for his political/social reteric.

now quite like land but i think because i put the fact that it was a romero film out of my head and dont have much to say about diary but i bought it regardless as i probebly will with this one just to add to the collection .

I saw Survival of the Dead today and thought it was better than Diary but worse than Land. The characters constantly made choices that made absolutely no sense. There were a few grandpa technology moments as well, although not as many as in Diary.

Wake up and smell the secrets guys! This is 'Survival of the Film-maker'. The man's gotta eat, he would be stupid to invest his little royalties from previous projects, knowing the thing will be on the www before you can say 'bluray'.

Can't believe it...Land was actually a stronger film than this.
And Land was fairly weak.
This film is ok...better than Diary...but the script is weak (the characters have a nasty habit of repeating the same lines of dialogue back to themselve) and even the gore gags are not up-to-par.
And what's a Romero film without gags?
Seems like KNB wasn't willing to work pro-bono this time out.
On the plus side, there was no Big Daddy, so you can't go wrong there.
Like Land, this gets a C to C-.

I am stunned that anyone considering him/herself a fan of this genre could find a single redeeming quality in the over-commercialized Land of the Dead! Diary of the Dead was a return to the true Romeroan spirit that underlies the zombie mythology. These movies are not about the gore: if you want that, watch the mindless Rob Zombie type crap. Diary was fantastic, so if others are comparing Survival to that, then I am looking forward to viewing it. I am disappointed that the genre has seemed to pander of late to those who think zombie films are nothing more than a series of gory scenes interupted by the occasional piece of laughable apocalyptic dialogue. These movies are becoming nothing more than the violent equvalent of pornography--not at all what made Romero the well-known artist he remains. Make more films like Diary and far, far fewer like Land or the assinine remake of Day of the Dead.
