Zombie Collection (DVD)

Triple bill of zombie horrors. Terror maestro George A. Romero directs 'Survival of the Dead' (2009). A zombie epidemic has laid waste to America, leaving the military in chaos. A band of soldiers decide that in order to survive, they will go AWOL and find refuge on the remote Plum Island. However, they soon discover that even here there is no escape from a world under threat from both the living and the dead. 'Day of the Dead' (2008) is a remake based on Romero's classic 1985 zombie film. When a strange virus infects a small Colorado town, the military is brought in to stop the disease spreading by enforcing a quarantine. But as people begin to become infected, the survivors realise that the virus is turning them into the walking dead. Now, the few people who are immune to the virus must fend off the zombies and try to escape from the town in one piece. In Romero's 'Diary of the Dead' (2007), film student Jason (Joshua Close) and his crew are shooting a mummy movie in the Pennsylvania woods when news reports begin pouring in about the dead rising from their graves. Cast member Ridley (Phillip Riccio) reacts to the news by abandoning the group and retreating to his family's fortified mansion halfway across the state, while the remaining cast and crew are forced to fight for their lives despite having no weapons and only an old Winnebago in which to seek shelter. The group soon realise that there is no escape from the plague of the living dead.
