Completely deadful. This is probably the worst in Romero's zombie series. The only thing this movie had going it for was the gore. I actually rooted for the zombies here, especially against that idiot on the skateboard. I didn't think it was possible for Romero to create characters like this. The praise Romero's dead movies recieve after Day of the Dead drives me insane.

*** out of **** The effectiveness of a zombie movie depends purely on what you do with the zombies. The undead can roam the streets, feed on flesh, but so what? Are they merely there to moan, get shot, and die, or are they there for, perhaps, something more? I think George A. Romero, king of the zombies, knows the answer to that question. He also knows how to make a good zombie film; and he's always been good at doing so. What I enjoy about Romero's films is that they act … more

Movie Review Haiku: Land of the Dead - John Leguizamo / Is the best thing in this film / That's not a good sign.

George A. Romero enters with yet another installment in his banal and grossly visual zombie flicks and hopefully this will be the last of them. Obviously there is an appreciative audience who enjoys watching partially decomposed bodies stomp around and grunt and eat body parts of the living because a lot of people write positively about this film. For this viewer the 'parody' eludes. LAND OF THE DEAD is simply a dark, grotesque, poorly written, hastily thrown together bit … more

I have rented out this movie last week..........thank god. The gore level is the highest I've encountered in some time and at the risk of offending the Fangoria subscribers, which are legion, is gratuitous beyond words. It's not that I was either offended or disgusted by anything I saw, but I was, however, taken aback by the excessiveness of it all. The clever dismemberment quotient was taken to an all time high, with everything from spring board heads tethered to the body by a strand of flesh, … more

About this movie
Bolstered by the success of28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, theResident Evilmovies and the hit remake of his ownDawn of the Dead, George A. Romero returns to the horror subgenre he invented withLand of the Dead. The fourth installment in Romero's zombie cycle (and the first since 1985'sDay of the Dead) presents a logical progression of events since 1968's horror classicNight of the Living Dead: Zombies(also known as "stenches" for their rotting odor) are the dominant population, and they've begun to show signs of undead intelligence and gathering power. The wealthiest survivors live comfortably in a luxury high-rise within a barricaded safe zone, ignoring the horrors of the outside world while armed scavengers stage raids in the zombie-zone to gather much-needed food and supplies. Simon Baker and John Leguizamo play mercenaries-for-hire; Dennis Hopper is their nefarious boss; and horror favorite Asia Argento (daughter ofSuspiria
