George A Romero’s Survival of the Dead
Premieres Wednesday, May 26th at 8:00pm followed by encore presentations at 9:35pm and 11:15pm
Starring: Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Monroe, Devon Bostick
Directed and Written by George A. Romero
The master filmmaker continues to reinvent the modern horror genre with a film that draws new battle lines between the living and the dead. A combat-weary band of soldiers is lured to a remote island that promises to be the last paradise on earth, only to discover that even here, miles away from civilization, there is no escape from a world at war. Told with Romero's iconic sense of humor and keen eye for the fault-lines in contemporary culture, George A. Romero's SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD expands and intensifies the zombie universe for which he is celebrated.
