Survival of the Dead

A low-stakes zombie scenario by the genre’s grandfather George Romero. The acting by the primarily Irish cast is proficient but the script is weak. Not because anything’s unclear or stupid, but just because the stakes feel really low. It seems like it could be a small chapter in a much larger movie. Nevertheless, it functions well, as all good zombie parables do, as a metaphor for how human beings treat each other.
