Placidly photographed and lacking in urgency, "Survival" shows us the living flailing at fate and the dead just flailing.

The metaphor of senseless rancor is clear, but it's not compelling when the slow-moving monsters pose more of a nuisance than a threat.
The skullcap moment appealed to me. It was new. Not much else is new in Survival of the Dead.
Steeped in fan-pleasing gore but woefully thin on ideas, originality (beyond new zombie-offing methods) or directorial flair.
There's little here that's new or interesting; the movie is for hard-core Romero devotees only.
There are some memorable images, including the sight of a beautiful, horse-riding ''dead head.'' But for much of the movie, Van Sprang's zombie fatigue seems to be an echo of Romero's own.
A polished, fast-moving, entertaining picture whose mainstream success will depend on audiences' tolerance of its tendency to become an abattoir of extreme carnage.
