It looks like the lucky people of Austin Texas will be the first to see Romero's latest instalment of his incredibly long running zombie series. Surivial of the Dead will be playing at Fatastic Fest, it has recently been announced and you can take a peek at the excellent new teaser trailer at their site.
"When the idyllic retreat of Plum Island falls victim to the zombie plague, a new breed of clan war breaks out. On one side is the camp who want to exterminate all undead with a wickedly diverse array of brain-splattering headshots. On the other, devoted family members take the stance that “zombie-ism” is a disease, the undead have rights and they must be kept alive until a cure is found. Unable to simply “agree to disagree,” the two clans go to war and make their island microcosm a whole hell of a lot bloodier. An undead parallel to the tribal wars that are plaguing our own society today, SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD exposes the futility of such conflict and the need for tolerance of the beliefs of others. Plus it’s got zombie horses in it!" |

It sounds as though this will take a much more overt approach to the social commentary stylings that have been a characteristic of all of Romero's "Of the Dead" films which will hopefully be a little more biting than the slightly redundant new media themed, Diary of the Dead.
That's all well and good of course but are we wrong for really wanting to see those zombie horses? |
