    Survival of the Dead

    ★★

    “This sucks, I should’ve never signed up for this shit.”

    After Diary of the Dead left such a bad taste in my mouth as far as late stage Romero zombie flicks go, I’ve had Survival on the back burner for quite some time.

    The filmmakers literally copy-pasted the template from Halloween (2018) which in itself is a fundamental misunderstanding of the original as Leatherface was never supposed to be a monolithic killing machine like Michael Myers, rather a victim of his twisted…
