‘George A. Romero paints with his boldest brushstrokes yet in Land of the Dead, blurring the line that separates zombies from humans while sharpening the one that divides society’s haves from its have-nots. The film unfolds in and around a luxury high-rise called Fiddler’s Green that has become the last outpost of moneyed (and white) high society. The Green towers above a Hooverville-like slum inhabited by those deemed unworthy of admission. But as Land of the Dead begins, the oppressed flesh-eating masses show unprecedented cognitive signs, and these once-fearsome adversaries now seem to represent all of the world’s displaced, disenfranchised people, from the streets of America to the contentious cities of the Middle East.’ Scott Foundas, LA Weekly
