Land of the Dead (2005)
Director: George A Romero
Movie review
From Time Out New York
George Romero (Night of the Living Dead) has a dauntingly high standard to meet, and amazingly he has, cramming his first zombie outing in 20 years with sly class-conscious winks, a charmingly grungy style and an unseemly number of arm and leg chompings. Owing more to his brilliant 1978 consumer-satire sequel, Dawn of the Dead, than his b&w debut, Land of the Dead replaces the shopping mall with a high-rise condo, lorded over by an understated Dennis Hopper, equal parts plutocrat, technocrat and plain old rat. Romero's target is broad as a barn, but God love him for splattering it so thoroughly.Author: JR
