George A. Romero's SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD Red-Band Trailer

For all you zombie lovers out there we have a fun little red-band trailer for George A. Romero's new zombie flick, Survival of the Dead. This looks like it's gonna be a classic old school zombie film. Romero didn't reinvent the wheel with this one, he stuck to what he knows best and it should be an entertaining film. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

The horror film, being brought to us by Magnet Releasing, will premiere on VOD, XBOX Live, Playstation and Amazon on April 30th. It will then be release in theaters on May 28th. The plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure.

Synopsis:

Immediately following the events of "Diary of the Dead," "Survival of the Dead," is the 6th 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'Flynn's, headed by patriarch Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), 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 (Alan Van Sprang). 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.
