Survival of the Dead

In the Plum Island, off the coast of Delaware, the long feud between the families of the patriarchs Captain Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) that intends to eliminate the zombies and Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick) that intends to keep his undead relatives waiting for a cure culminates with O'Flynn expelled from Plum. Meanwhile in the continent Sarge "Nicotine" Crocket (Alan Van Sprang), Chuck (Joris Jarsky), Cisco (Stefano DiMatteo) and Tomboy (Athena Karkanis) are plundering and seeking a safe place to stay. When they rescue the young Boy (Devon Bostick) from group of sadistic hunters, Boy decides to join the group and suggests them to head to Plum Island since he had heard a O'Flynn's broadcast inviting people to move to the island. When Sarge and his team arrive in the island, they are attacked by Muldoon's men and they see that the place is crowded of undead. Sarge's friend Chuck is killed and they decide to fight against Muldoon.

"Survival of the Dead" is the sixth movie about zombies written and directed by George A. Romero that unfortunately does not work well. The story has black humor but neither the comedy nor the drama fits well to the horror genre. The actress Kathleen Munroe is not tailored for the double role of Jane and Janet O'Flynn. The special effects and make-up are probably the best in this disappointing film. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "A Ilha dos Mortos" ("The Island of the Dead")
