The whole city is ruled by Kaufman who controls everything including the raids into zombie territory led by Dead Reckoning, an extremely mobile tank armed with guns & fireworks which distracts zombies. In the streets below the common man & woman fight to survive while the rich & powerful enjoy a luxury life in the high rise building called Fiddlers Green. Bordered on 2 sides by water & the 3rd by a huge electric fence it is a safe-haven for many including the rich & powerful. Land of the Dead focuses on one such colony in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There are still humans alive but they live in heavily fortified enclosures. Well it certainly isn’t the story…Land of the Dead introduces us to a dead world, a world were every street corner has a zombie on it & they are getting smarter. Is it the acting? Is it the zombies? Is it the story?
It’s a funny one ‘cause it’s a hugely enjoyable film but by the end you just end up feeling a little bit flat. Unfortunately Land doesn’t quite cut it in the end.
With Land of the Dead, Romero aimed to take back his zombie crown… In fact zombies had become an integral part of modern culture & not exactly something to fear. Film-making had come along way since the last in the series as had zombies. Romero finally came back to his ‘dead’ series in 2005 with the highly anticipated Land of the Dead.
