Land of the Dead
George A. Romero’s fourth ‘Dead’ film - Land of the Dead - is on it’s way to Europe and the hype machine is in full swing already. But it’s good to see Romero return to the genre he kick started with Night of the Living Dead and, if the advance publicity is to be believed, still using his zombies as a device for social satire.
In this new tale a harrowing vision of a modern-day world where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland and the living try to lead “normal” lives behind the walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a handful of enterprising, ruthless opportunists, who live in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the hard-scrabble existence on the streets below. But outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving. Inside, anarchy is on the rise. With the very survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from an army of the dead.
