Movie: #Zombies George A Romero – Survival of the Dead

My Take:

• Filmed entirely in Canada, I therefore blame them.
• Leave it to the Irish of Delaware to clean things up!
• Alternate title: Darby O’Gill and the Zombie People or The Hatfields and the O’Flynns
• “Dead Heads”
• “There’s not another bitch in this litter.”
• Zomkabobs on a schtick!
• Great Catch Zombie
• Explosive Zombie
• Still smoking…
• Ghost Rider Zombie (aka Bic Zombie)
• Mailman Zombie
• Spiteful Zombie
• Zombie Jim
• Zombie Duel

Not my favorite of all the movies but not as horrible as I thought it would be.  I give it a C+.
