10/10
Just bloody great.
15 March 2010
Nobody reads long reviews here, and nobody's ever got a job through writing a witty or insightful thing on IMDb. So, what is there to say about Survival? It's fantastic! Very funny, very clever, very gory. A great plot, which is significantly different to what Romero has given us before, populated with characters I actually wanted to spend time with. An audacious plot-twist partway through spins several of the characters on their heads and the zombies continue to bleakly follow what they did in life- a Romero staple, here shown more vividly than ever before.

It looks beautiful, is jam-packed with splashy grue, made me laugh like a drain in parts and inhale sharply in others, and whether or not you liked Diary (I did) I strongly advise you to see it.

Oh, and the score is magnificent. Best one since Day.

Now please, George, can we have a third film set in this "new" continuity- preferably following the remaining characters from Survival to wherever they end up next?
