Survival of the Dead(2009)
On an isolated island off the coast of North America, the inhabitants discover that their relatives are rising from the dead. The island divides over the debate of whether to ‘kill’ the walking dead or to preserve them and try to find a cure.

Romero » See full cast & crew Survival of the Dead Blu-ray, Video QualitySurvival of the Dead shuffles onto Blu-ray with a 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that should satiate flesh-hungry zombiephiles and eagle-eyed videophiles alike. The film was shot using the RED high definition video camera--which can produce a very film-like image--and most of the usual problematic quirks of shooting digitally are entirely absent here. Some of the darker scenes do exhibit a good deal of video noise, but I'd rather have this than an image that has been awkwardly smeared over with DNR techniques. Most of the film, especially the daytime sequences, is fantastically sharp and detailed, with only a few soft shots creeping in occasionally. Lines are crisp and textures refined without showing signs of edge enhancement. One of the few things that I liked about Survival is that it stays away from the characteristically bleak color scheme employed by most zombie movies. The film is surprisingly colorful, using rich autumnal hues, creamy Technicolor-like sky blues, and, of course, saturated crimson viscera. Aside from the video noise that's inherent in the source footage, I didn't spot any distracting compression artifacts or other problems. Survival of the Dead Blu-ray, Audio QualityLikewise, I have no qualms at all about the film's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, which makes the most out of Survival's limited zombie mayhem. One of the first things you'll notice is that the LFE channel is activated frequently, underscoring the action with throbbing pulses of subwoofer output. Granted, this attempt to sonically manufacture dread just shows how lacking the film is in the tension department, but the room-quaking LFE response is at least objectively impressive. The surround channels are also often put to use for ambience and action, with immersive outdoorsy sounds, gunshots pinging between speakers, and vehicles making well-implemented cross- channel movements. The score is pretty typical for this kind of movie--dissonance, tinkling piano keys, etc.--but it's dynamically sound and complements the film nicely. Finally, dialogue rides comfortably at the top of the mix and is always easy to understand. English SDH and Spanish subtitles are available in clean, easy-to-read white lettering.
