LAND OF THE DEAD

Vault of Horror celebrates 20 years of George A. Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD (2005)! Romero's long-awaited return to the series he started with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1986)—in which he also invented the flesh-eating zombie subgenre—LAND OF THE DEAD takes place in post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh, ruled by a feudal plutocrat (Dennis Hopper) from his luxury high-rise. Anyone rich enough can buy comfort and safety at Fiddler's Green, until three workers (Simon Baker, John Leguizamo, and horror legend Asia Argento) stop distracting the dead with fireworks and form a plan to eat the rich. Made in response to the Bush administration but prophetically more in line with the American regime today, LAND OF THE DEAD is a gore-filled treat from one of horror's most influential and politically fearless filmmakers.
