Story
Immediately following the events of
Diary of the Dead,
Survival of the Dead is the sixth film from George A. Romero to look at a world where humans are in the minority and the zombies rule. Off the coast of Delaware sits the cozy Plum Island where two families are locked in a struggle for power, as it has been for generations. The O'Flynns, headed by patriarch Patrick O'Flynn approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldon, feel that the zombies should be quarantined and kept 'alive', in hopes that a solution will someday be found. The O'Flynn's, who are clearly outnumbered, are forced to exile Patrick by boat to the mainland, where he meets up with a cynical band of soldiers, headed by Guardsman Sarge. They join forces and return to the island, to find that the zombie plague has fully gripped the divided community, and the body count is rising. As the battle between humans and zombies escalates, the master filmmaker continues to reinvent the modern horror genre with wicked humor and pointed social commentary.
