    Bolstered by the success of 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, the Resident Evil movies and the hit remake of his own Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero returns to the horror subgenre he invented with Land of the Dead. The fourth installment in Romero's zombie cycle (and the first since 1985's Day of the Dead) presents a logical progression of events since 1968's horror classic Night of the Living Dead: Zombies (also known as "stenches" for their rotting odor) are the dominant population, and they've begun to show signs of undead intelligence and gathering power. The wealthiest survivors live comfortably in a luxury high-rise within a barricaded safe zone, ignoring the horrors of the outside world while armed scavengers stage raids in the zombie-zone to gather much-needed food and supplies. Simon Baker and John Leguizamo play mercenaries-for-hire; Dennis Hopper is their nefarious boss; and horror favorite Asia Argento (daughter of Suspiria director Dario Argento) plays a former hooker recruited into Baker's scavenger squad. While none of this seems particularly fresh or inspired, Land of the Dead benefits from hints of the social satire that made Romero's earlier zombie films so memorable. Not so much funny as gruesomely peculiar, Romero's plot isn't as inventive as it could've been, but as a big-scale B-movie, Land of the Dead delivers a handful of shocks and horror-celebrity cameos (including gore-masters Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero) that should keep horror buffs happy until the next zombie opus comes along. --Jeff Shannon

    4 out of 5 stars Surprise Ending!   March 12, 2009
    L. Cook (milwaukee, wi)
    something along the lines of "they're just looking for a place to go, just like everybody else." (one of the final lines of the movie). Couldn't stop laughing. Good movie, very enjoyable!


    4 out of 5 stars George just knows how to make zombie films.   March 9, 2009
    Jason Whitt (Southwest Mich., United States)

    Some people hated this film. Not sure why. Perhaps they think George Romero isn't allowed to make zombie movies with a decent budget. And if he does, it must suck. Well for my money, Land of the Dead is a good movie.

    It's well written, well cast and of course expertly directed. The effects are good. The zombies look cool and are intelligent(for a change). And there is of course the familiar Romero social subtext to the plot. All in all it's a good ride and worth an hour and a half of your time if you like zombie movies. If you don't like zombie movies, you're probably not reading this review anyways.



    5 out of 5 stars No One Does It Better Than Romero...   February 9, 2009
    Carlos Gomez (The Moon)
    Seriously. He's the father of the zombie genre and this flick proves modern Romero is better than those he inspired. It's got solid acting and moves at quick pace without sacrificing character development or social commentary, something Romero is well known for. In the end it's a very enjoyable zombie film with likable characters, good story and enough scares to satisfy most.


    4 out of 5 stars good dead movie   January 21, 2009

    George romero did a great job with this higher budget zombie flick.
    On blu ray it even looks better, some of his fans didn't enjoy this one but it is filled with social satire and good old fashioned gore. It is much better than 'day of the dead" in which it's very small budget kept most of the action inside of a bunker, but not as great as the truly classic by any horror fans standards: 'dawn of the dead" or the first and great 'night of the living dead" , still this movie has a fine pacing and good performances from the top notch cast. It's worth getting on blu ray as part of any superior horror dvd collection.



    5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Blu-Ray   November 14, 2008

    This is a great zombie film that stands the critical test as it is, but toss in Simon Baker's (TV's Mentalist)tongue-in-cheek hero, Asia Argento, who is absolutely hot in everything she does, and George Romero, and how in the world can you go wrong. Then to top it all off, the Blu-Ray version is better than watching it at the theater.

    I wondered when I got it if I had wasted my money since I already had it on regular DVD. Then, wow, I started the Blu-Ray and knew it was worth even twice the price. Buy it!
