  Review by Disgustipated ★★★★ 9

  Hooptober 4.0 - 2017 - Film #30

  Stalin, Eisenstein and Romero are seated in a drawing room on plush leather armchairs. They are enjoying cognac around the hearth of an open fire. They make small talk about the hoof and mouth disease epidemic in California, the Olympics in Paris and how absurd and profound Dada truly is.

  Stalin narrows the conversation down to business, "Mr. Romero, I am very pleased to have you join our film program. It is my belief that film will play an integral role in celebrating the sacrifices and successes of the proletarian revolution. It will also continue to be an important instrument in the education of the people, to guide them on the path towards…

  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 3

  Holds up very well... kinda seems to get better and more relevant every time I watch it too. Contains many Romero-isms utilized well, but I only wish Big Daddy was actually Bub but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Interesting foreshadowing of occupy movements as well as Dennis Hopper as power drunk rich blowhard idiot obsessed with his tower of shit.

  This is a lot better than the Dawn of the Dead remake that came out right around the same time but it’s a lot worse than, like, going on a roller coaster. Not my fairest review, I can admit that.

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★ 12

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Highly underrated post-apocalyptic zombie film presenting us with an unexpected treat the inevitable evolution of zombies! Like man in the beginning of time, zombies are learning to use tools, learning to problem solve, learning to act together as a group with a single purpose!

  The scene with the zombies slowly rising out of the water was pure cinema magic! That breathtaking scene alone is worth the price of admission!

  Enough guts and gore to give the gorehounds in your life a goregasm!

  Have a Flesh Rippin Good Time!

  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★★ 3

  Apart from it being a bit overindulgent with the CGI this is really a great continuation of Romero's Dead series. It has great make-up effects, tense action scenes and fun cameos (Michelle pointed them all out to me). Plus it kind of plays out as commentary on having society divided by class.

  A very entertaining movie and a fun watch party.

  Review by Slig001 ★★★★

  The fourth entry in George Romero's epic "Dead" series is a familiar mix of social commentary and gory zombie mayhem. This one takes place some time after Day of the Dead in a world where order has started to emerge from chaos. The rich live in a luxury apartment, surrounding slums with the zombie threat ever present outside of the city. The social commentary is more overt than ever, with the whole theme of the film being a barely disguised metaphor for how the rich take advantage of the poor. The post apocalyptic setting is really well done. The whole scene is very well realised and quite realistic - this is probably how things would turn out if there was…

  Review by kat🕷 ★★ 3

  Unbelievable that there was still so much to get out of this subgenre. Still, that went way too far for me. Thinking, tactical zombies. The "undead" can also shoot, defend themselves, act strategically and walk under water.. That wasn't for me.

  Review by DavidNeedToKnow ★★★★

  I'm a big zombie film fan. It's my favourite horror sub genre. Of course, director Romero is the best in this field. Especially his ,,Night‘‘, ,,Dawn‘‘ and ,,Day‘‘, but also ,,Land‘‘ are great zombie films. ,,Land’‘ is definitely underestimated by most. 

  I was still at school when this film was released. 15 years old at the time. A year earlier, Snyder's ,,Dawn of the Dead‘‘ remake (also very underestimated) came out. Also one of my zombie film favourite’s.

  My parents were very strict at the time and I was only allowed to consume media that corresponded to my age. So I had to get my beloved zombie films in a different way. A friend from my school class had an…

  70/100

  [originally published on Nerve.com]

  How did we manage to get through the '90s without a George Romero zombie movie to encapsulate the period in gut-munching metaphor? Now spanning nearly forty years, with previous entries issued during the Johnson, Carter and Reagan administrations, this remarkable series serves as a sort of alternative State of the Union address, capturing each era's defining mood simply by imagining how we might respond to the end of civilization. It may be the only movie franchise with no recurring characters, no contiguous plot details, no Pavlovian stimuli—nothing, really, except a single trenchant idea with endlessly malleable permutations. But it's been a good long while—odds are you would have heard "Sussudio" on your way to the…

  Review by Sofa Sinema ★★★ 5

  I'm glad Romero got to make three more Dead flicks after his masterful trilogy. This one is more action-oriented, which was probably a studio request. The CG effects take a lot of heat, but I had fun with most of the kills. Romero is still innovative about his set-pieces, even though I sense something lacking in the atmosphere. It doesn't feel as organic this time. That's not helped by a cast of caricatures and the jejune political messaging. Old George's increasing empathy for the stenches took some bite out of the horror. 6.4/10

  🧟‍♂️Weekend of the Dead🧟‍♀️

  A city divided, with the wealthy in a Grand Hi-rise safe from harm(or so they think) and the rest of the citizens on the streets with the Zombies.

  Romero paints you a clear political picture in this installment.
  Zombies are more keen and aware enough to follow a leader but some of kills were a little vague which also seemed like a little bit stingy on the gore. Also quite a bit of conversing left a little less space for action. I found this film to still be a tense filled, action thrilled entertaining time.
  7.5/10
