LAND of the DEAD: A Zombie Swan Song (Why it's a nearly PERFECT ZOMBIE movie)

Land of the Dead was a perfect zombie movie (mostly) that summarized Romero's dead series and was the most fun of them all. Here's why.

The one thing stupid about land of the dead was the scavengers could have just overthrown the rich by simply doing nothing. You want supplies go get them yourselves, what’s that? You wont? Guess we will take what you have then

[@rektflesh3D1TS]

Human fear, make them think you are the one keeping them safe so they won't rise up. In the end, sure, the poor could have swarmed the actual building, but at the same token, the scene of the poor being devoured shows how surprised they were, and by then, it was far too late.

[@Kaljaski]

Just like in reality, people could take power from capitalists and put an end to wage-slave system and build a just and equality society by building socialism but instead people won't do it because capitalist propaganda is strong and they are fine with the little they get instead of actually asking more as people should. People deserve more than this little we get out of this system. This movie portrays well the stupidity of the masses.

[@user-zp8kj2cl9g]

I know right? It's not like people in real life outnumber the elite by a lot and still they don't do shit when they are exploited and subjected to lowering living standars while doing work that is essential for the rich to get richer. And that they could just stop doing them so the rich can go fuck themselves... That would be silly.

[@prdurnion83]

That was part of the film; Cholo ( John Leguizamo) clues us into this. Remember, he worked as a lackey for Kaufman (Dennis Hopper) believing he could get into the upper levels of Fiddlers Green. We see how Kaufman manipulated everything, policed everything, and controlled everything. He didn't have to make everyone follow him; he only needed to make key figures follow him. Dissenters were removed... sometimes violently. Remember how they threw Mulligan (Bruce McFee) into jail? He was preaching about overthrowing Kaufman and his snobs. The trash pile zombie that Cholo dispatches is another example. An "undesirable" removed before they became a problem. The kid, who was told to pick up the cigars was another. Cholo explains this in his discourse with Riley (Simon Baker) in the latter half of the movie. Romero knew what he was doing and made sure it was fairly solid. Also, if the scavs did nothing, we wouldn't have a movie.

[@rektflesh3D1TS]

@prdurnion83 also saying "taking out the trash." I mean Cholo's whole character was a hitman for Kaufman. Pretty badass character.

[@memedealermikey]

Wanna talk about memorable characters? I only saw this film maybe once until recently, and I was 6 years old. I remember that damn zombie in a mechanic jumpsuit, wielding a gun for damn 12 YEARS! I didn’t even remember the name of the movie, I just remembered Big Daddy

[@isaaccortez8836]

Dude same I’ve never seen this movie since I was 6/8 and remember seeing the zombies come out of the water was just mind blowing.

[@longshucksgaming]

funfact about the scene: since the zombies were obviously played by human actors and that was shot on a freezing night, they had to edit out their breath in the cold

[@kathyjacques2688]

My sister was quite the aficionado of horror movies, got to watch the original Dawn of the Dead pretending I wasn’t horrified n traumatized in the theater n man, this one was a hard pill to swallow, smart fast zombies? So many nightmares

[@katethomas7329]

His name is Eugene Clark and he is an absolute gem of a man! I got to meet him and spend some time with him like 10yrs ago in NY. I was so excited to tell him how amazing his acting had been. My favorite part was in the beginning. The amout of emotions he was able to pull off under all the makeup was a real testament to him and the sfx artist! My heart broke with his when he had to stomp on his fellow zombies head to put him out of his misery.

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

They should have just had them come out of the water, having a smoke or Vape ;)

[@redlegoguy5892]

I was at Indy Comic Con last Saturday and I actually got to meet the actor who played Big Daddy Eugene A Clark. he was a very nice guy and I was surprised that he not only got to play one of the most iconic zombies, but that he also performed in the Lion King Broadway musical. He’s very talented and I wish he got to be in more stuff.

[@katethomas7329]

Ooh I have to check to see if he's coming around the New England area! I'd love to see him again! I would lie if I said I didn't still have a crush on that man. I am a sucker for tall! 😂🔥

[@AzrielsLament]

Know what we need? A Zombie survival game where youre the Zombie slowly regaining functionality as you hunt survivors. Imagine the 'stealth' segments where you blend in with corpses to surprise attack people or slink through the hoards of lesser zombies using them to overwhelm or get closer to survivors using the horde as a shield.

[@felixramirez9920]

Having played so many survival games, a twist like that would be interesting. If they could get it right. I don't know how they would approach that and I got my own projects to work on. But yeah, would be interesting.

I was a little kid when my dad somehow talked my mother into letting him play this movie during thanksgiving dinner. He kept pulling off the pulling of the wishbone, confusing the heck out of my brother and I. Then picking my to help him split the wishbone while pointing out the hand splitting scene to all of us at the table.

[@thesilentscreamer1595]

One of the most interesting things about this movie is how the zombies adapt to kill the living thanks to Big Daddy. Meanwhile, the living became stagnant and complacent with their situation. This showed a stark contrast to most zombie movies and series. Also, if I remember correctly, Big Daddy never seemed to eat any of the living and always made the first move for his horde to follow, implying his status as the leader of the zombie horde. When Riley and his group escape from Fiddler's Green's destruction, Riley noticed that Big Daddy didn't look at them with hatred or disdain, instead, he simply nodded at them and moved on in another direction. It was as if he acknowledged his group and the poor people as fellow survivors in this dead world. It was the most interesting detail for me.

I was in the 8th grade when this movie came out. I bought it on DVD once a month from November 2005 until June 2006. It’s my favorite Romero movie after Dawn of the Dead. The video game related to this game, Road to Fiddler Green is still one of the most fun zombie games I’ve ever played.

[@longshucksgaming]

the only thing that bothered me about that game was how bullet damage worked. save for the sniper rifle with head shots, it really didnt matter where you shot the zombies. 4 bullets from the starter gun, 2 from the revolver etc

[@JC_Cali]

I remember how panned this movie was upon release. Glad it's getting continually re-appraised, as there's a lot unique and powerful in this film.

[@awesome6323]

One thing that always bugged me is money. In a land of the dead it's essentially useless. It's printed paper.

[@cannibalwarlord1884]

I feel the same in real life

[@levthemapperxd]

To be fair, it is already useless under a capitalist society. :3

[@guilhermehank4938]

The movie never addresses this. It becomes even worse when Kauffman tries to escape with the money and acts like it will be worth anything anywhere

[@J0MBi]

Yeah true, but that's only if you assume it's pre-collapse dollars. There's talk of outposts and a network of survivors outside of fiddlers green, they might have their own company script. One of the many aspects of the story that could have done with some more development.

I remember when I first watched this movie so well because of how shitless it scared me. I was like 11 or so, and during october, this movie came on, and I watched the whole thing in a trance, and ohhh boy, seeing the zombies literally evolve and learn scared me in ways I couldnt really compute back then. It's only now that I'm a jaded 26 yr old man that I know those zombies learning and getting past their innate nature would be the most terrifying thing to happen in a zombie apocalypse.

[@I3igI3adW0lf]

One thing I never understood about Land of the Dead is why didn't they cull the dead around their city? It seems the characters always have to be idiots for zombie movies to work.

[@wleewle]

Might not have the ammo, might be too dangerous, may have underestimated the zombies, thought they’d always be safe, might not be a big enough problem to need to deal with Might attract more zombies Or the zombies are a useful outside threat as another way to keep the people caged in the system

[@I3igI3adW0lf]

@@wleewle The zombies in Romero's universe are not super human strong so they could melee fight if they have to. They could use ammo to thin them out then melee the rest. They apparently know how to kill the zombies. They just refuse to do it. Keeping the poor people caged using the dead to keep them in is very short sighted. If the surrounding area was cleared they could branch out and grow which would inevitably increase the wealth of the elites at the top. It would allow the poor to have things to do and increase their own wealth even if it isn't by much. A happier populace is far less likely to rebel and would also be more productive. It would also allow them to create a larger army to clear out areas further out or protect them from other potentially hostile human settlements by increasing their living space which would encourage people to have more children. Their lack of planning ahead is what doomed them. The only way to properly protect yourself from zombies and other humans in a zombie apocalypse is multiple layers of defense.

[@hatefuldisplay]

This series has always held a special place in my heart. My parents took me to see Dawn and Day at a drive-in theater as a child way to young to see them. When Land of the Dead came out, I took my dad to see it for Father's Day. I also had the pleasure of meeting Romero and some of the cast of the first three films. Thanks for sharing.

[@runningthemeta5570]

I haven’t seen this film, but I like the projection of zombies slowly becoming smarter and learning how to use tools. It sounds like what should’ve happened in The Walking Dead.

[@LordWyatt]

It was but AMC screwed up the directors and direction of the show. The first season showed a few zombies retain some of their memories: Morgan’s wife tries the doorknob, the little girl zombie picked up a teddy bear before Rick got her attention, and one used a brick/rock to break the glass of the mall (or wherever the group first was when Rick met them). The second season would have shown how the walkers rose so fast: that the deaths caused by the chaos of the outbreak created more with it focusing on the soldiers in the Tank and Dale/Andrea/Amy when they met and stayed together through it all. It would have been glorious. Season three would show the Gang in the new world rather than trying to find or save some semblance of what came before. Instead we got the farm, the walkers being smart was an anomaly (until season 28 or whatever they’re on now), and the rest was history. It would have been so cool and would have been the example of how slow zombies could still end the world (even if they hadn’t seen zombie media as claimed humans would adapt and this would’ve been shown instead of the same cycle of running to a safe zone before it was overrun and repeat

[@Bentami]

The walking dead was more tuned to human conflict within that world, which is why it was so good in the earlier seasons until it fell from grace.

[@elishafollet5347]

​@@LordWyattnah the military would still wipe the floor with most forms of zombies especially the slow ones regardless of if they knew how to utilize tools hell a pretty good sized army of policemen could stop em before the outbreaks could even get so bad, the only reason why the military is portrayed as extremely unconfident in these films is so we can have a plot in the first place.

[@SCH292]

@@elishafollet5347Lol. Agree. They have to fail because of plot. I say Dawn of the Dead has a better plot point. It is we the people who will cause our own downfall. Think of a list of "people" and those people will show up. 1. Politicians are quick to grab for more power by just passing laws they think of at the moment and put it into effect. 2. Cops or anybody with authority are going to go rouge. 3. Criminals will be release back on the street. 4. The crazy religion nut job people. 5. The far far "you know the word" will show up. 6. The far far "you know the other side of the word" will show up. 7. The looters. This list goes on.

[@Cowboycomando54]

There is this book series I finished not too long ago about a zombie apocalypse. It was 12 books with multiple storylines going on at a time, showing different groups of survivors and even the POV of a zombie at times. It is called The Dead Series by T. W. Brown. If you are a fan of these movies, then this book series should be looked at. It delves into humans being the true monsters while also adding interesting lore that I've never seen another do, like some people being immune to the zombie infections. With Romeros zombies all evolving, as seen in Land, the book series has only the child zombies having some intelligence due to their brains still developing unlike adults. It was an amazing series that I listened to on audible and definitely deserves some recognition.

[@nylalittle7128]

You should definitely do a zombie sins for this movie I would love to see your take on this good movie

[@Th8rgoddess]

I'm not sure if it's cannon in the Romero movies, but the zombie virus is often written as a variant of rabies. Rabies makes its victims hydrophobic. So part of the zombies's aversion would be the virus telling its host to stay away as well as the fear of dying. Possibly, it's the only reason they're afraid of water because Romero's zombies show an almost gleeful lack of self preservation at times. So it could be a sign that they're evolving past the virus rather than overcoming the human fear of drowning. The zombies suddenly being able to use complicated weaponry shows a HUGE jump in evolution. They go from having to be shown how to effectively use items from their old life as weapons, to being shown to use complicated weapons, to looking at the complicated weapon and figuring out how to use it themself. What makes the last jump so significant is that most of them wouldn't have used these weapons in life, but would have an understanding of how they work from media exposure. That would mean that they were able to take a concept from their human life and apply it to their dead life. Being able to apply concepts is a huge step in evolution. I fully agree that Land of the Dead is Romero's really serious commentary and the last two are basically him playing around because he can and pushing production technique and other aspects of the genre to move it forward. Please do a Zombie Sins for this movie, and any Romero movie you haven't yet, because it's always good to acknowledge that overall movie perfection still has flaws. Finally, I'm going to add my usual plug for Mira Grant's News Flesh series of books. It's really solid world building and embraces both the absurdity and horror of the an apocalyptic, post zombie rising world. Based on how you present this material I think you would really like it.

[@lutherheggs451]

Romero never gave an actual explanation of why the dead started returning to life. At best in Dawn of the Dead there was mention of a satellite that returned from Venus that had high radiation levels. But he never confirmed anything for a specific reason.

I love that they were evolving but Big Daddy, for example teaching the Butcher that he could chop through the wooden wall was a bit much and Big Daddy not previously using bladed weapons makes me wonder how he knew. Again for the record I absolutely love this movie.

He saw humans doing it to the other zombies earlier in the film. There was a good amount of "learning by doing" done by the lesser zombies, could have been Big Daddy saw the cleaver and went "Hang on a tick..."

"what the hell is even that?" That's Romero's daughter getting a cameo lol

I’ve been a Romero fan since 1991 when I watched the “Night of the Living Dead” remake came out. I enjoy all of his movies even the ones that weren’t exactly diamonds in the rough. Land of the Dead was obviously the last big effort into the franchise and I actually love it. I even played “Land of the dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green” on XBox back in the day

I for one always enjoy a good sins video. A Land of the Dead sins video would go hard

I loved this movie

[@randycunningham7318]

The 4th greatest of the Living Dead Romero films. Not great, but not bad at all. Worth a watch.

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

I need more zombie movies from George Romero, so sad he already passed away.

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

Maybe we should reanimate him. His ultimate conclusion

Glad you think so!

You should do a “why you DEFINETLY wouldn’t survive The Absolute Solver from Murder Drones.” It’s literally a computer virus that may or may no be connected to demonic forces.

Day of the dead 1985 best Zombie movie ever made cinematic art seen it a hundred times and it never gets old like a fine wine only improves with age .😊

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

No youre just old and it aged horribly

[@noneed4me2n7]

Was a big fan of the Romero and Savini stuff so this was a no brainer for me to see this in the theater on release. Took my soon to be wife and I while it was enjoyable it did have issues. Felt it leaned to heavily into “the message” though that wasn’t even in the vernacular yet. Plus it’s messaging was based on class differences versus what we deal with nowadays. Outside of that, and characters doing a number of stuff that made no sense, it was a fun date movie with gore and some light romance. Zach Snyders Dawn remake was special for me as it was my first experience with fast zombies. Again it has its flaws but it, Land and it’s predecessors, plus the weird spinoff with Return of the living dead stand for me as the apex of the genre.
