The fourth of George Romero's hugely influential Zombie series, Land of the Dead is also the first to use digital special effects. Set in Pittsburgh in a world where zombies have taken over, Land of the Dead sees a divide, not only between human and zombie but also between those who live in an exclusive walled area and those who must scavenge for survival on the dangerous streets. New tensions mean that things are about to change. You'd think that Romero that would struggle to match his other films in terms of brilliance but instead he succeeds in delivering a gore-filled horror which is every bit as stomach-churning to watch. Land of the Dead has plenty of energy, action and flair and manages to make some serious social and political points as well as gleefully providing more than enough zombie feasting to keep any horror fan satisfied.
