Survive This SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD Red-Band Trailer
I know that SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD played Fantastic Fest last September, and I remember hearing fairly good things. However, I am not feeling the level of energy behind the people championing this film like I was the people denigrating George Romero’s last zombie flick, DIARY OF THE DEAD. Nonetheless, whether people are excited for this film or not, and despite my own, personal distaste for DIARY, I am always excited to see a new, Romero …OF THE DEAD film. This one is no exception.
That is why I am not going to watch this red-band trailer for SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD. I’ll have no problem watching a green-band trailer, but, when it comes to films like this, it seems the red-band is there, because the trailer shows some gore. I want to go into SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD without any preconceived knowledge of any of the deaths in the film.
That’s not to say you can’t check it out. Right here, even. It comes to us courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting:
Was it good enough? Does it entice you back to Romero’s world of zombies? Were you even a fan of DIARY OF THE DEAD? Let us know by shooting us a comment in the section below.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD hits Video On Demand, XBOX Live, Playstation and Amazon on April 30th. It gets a theatrical release on May 28th. Survive that!
The teaser really doesn't give away too much, just one comical zombie kill (hence the Restricted trailer), a couple of explosions, some lurching zombies, a couple of one liners and a bit of dialogue. I've seen a few people slag it off on different sites, but it looks like a lot of comic book fun to me. I'm getting a sort of Creepshow-meets-Shaun of the Dead vibe from it, which is no bad thing.
Totally looking forward to this! movie! (and have been since like september) Like all of Romeros movies I'm sure this will also be placed near the top of the zombie totem pole.
On that note, for the life of me I can't understand all the hate put forth about Diary OTD?!? Sure it may not have been up to the NOTLD or Dawn OTD standards but put it up beside 99% of ALL other zombie movies released and it will hold it's own. The most common complaint I hear about that movie is the 'blair witch' style filming, well not much you can do about that… if you don't like that style of movie don't watch it.
Long Live Romero. Lord of the Dead!
