A group of rogue soldiers seek shelter from the zombie apocalypse on scenic Plum Island, only to become caught up in a bitter feud between two warring families. Sarge Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) and his motley crew of military abandoners are searching for a safe place to rest when they cross paths with Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh). O'Flynn has been banished from Plum Island, where his family is locked in a longtime quarrel with the Muldoons. The O'Flynns see the flesh-eaters as subhuman, never hesitating to put a bullet between their eyes; the Muldoons balk at the prospect of killing their gut-munching loved ones, instead opting to care for their rotting kinfolk until scientists find a cure for the undead scourge. As the division between the two families grows deeper and wider, Crocket and his men realize that on Plum Island, the zombies are the least of their worries. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie was weak and ridiculous. The Muldoons vs. The O'Flattery's on Plum Island??? At least set it in Ireland with them enjoying a few good ales. What you see in the first 5 minutes is what you get for the next 90 minutes.

    I am saddened to say that Romero's reign over the zombie genre may be over. I am a fan of the genre & Romero, seeing almost every piece made. Survival is definitely not the worst, as there are MANY that are worse. But I expect a certain degree when it is Romero's. If you are a die-hard, it's worth a watch because there is no way you will miss the new Romero. The acting and story are just plain bad and it reeks of cheesiness. Romero's decline started with Diary and I was excited about Survival b/c I thought he has to redeem himself. I was dissapointed and can say that this was worse than Diary. At least he gave us the classics to hold on to. I do not see anyone remaking this movie. I gave it 2.5 starts just because I am a fan. Let's wait for Max Brook's World War Z with Brad Pitt, that should be out in a couple of years. If done right, that will be a masterpiece and, after reading drafts of the script, we may have a first Movie of the Year award for the zombie genre.

    This was horrible. Bad acting and cheesy dialogue. Zombies looked so fake. The scene with the female soldier's hand down her pants doing happy time had to be one of the lamest we've seen in a movie.
