Review of Land of the Dead (2005) by Calvin R — 07 Mar 2012
George Romero delivers yet another provocative and intriguing zombie tale with Land of the Dead. In the post-apocalyptic aftermath, a fortified city comes under attack when zombies start evolving beyond their primary urge to feed.
Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, and John Leguizamo all give strong performances and create some interesting characters. Just as the genre had started to become stale, Romero found a new place to take it.
Yet this transition into an "evolved zombie" is a bit awkward, and the social commentary in the film is extremely heavy-handed. Still, Land of the Dead presents an intriguing tale and an interesting new breed of zombies.
