In the Plum Island, off the coast of Delaware, the long feud between the families of the patriarchs Captain Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) that intends to eliminate the zombies and Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick) that intends to keep his undead relatives waiting for a cure culminates with O'Flynn expelled from Plum. Meanwhile in the continent Sarge "Nicotine" Crocket (Alan Van Sprang), Chuck (Joris Jarsky), Cisco (Stefano DiMatteo) and Tomboy (Athena Karkanis) are plundering and seeking a safe place to stay. When they rescue the young Boy (Devon Bostick) from group of sadistic hunters, Boy decides to join the group and suggests them to head to Plum Island since he had heard a O'Flynn's broadcast inviting people to move to the island. When Sarge and his team arrive in the island, they are attacked by Muldoon's men and they see that the place is crowded of undead. Sarge's friend Chuck is killed and they decide to fight against Muldoon.

| Dread CentralJohnny ButaneAdd in some extreme violence and wonderful performances from the lead actors, and we have a movie that is (arguably) one of the best in the series. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisPlacidly photographed and lacking in urgency, "Survival" shows us the living flailing at fate and the dead just flailing. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSurvival of the Dead has its own thing going; it's brilliantly, playfully loopy. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordUnlike other franchises...the helmer/scribe [Romero] keeps it fresh and makes me look forward to the next zombie installment. Now that's entertainment! |
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonFor those who watch Romero's zombie movies for the thrill of the kill, there are plenty of scenes to entertain. [It} is (arguably) one of the best in the series |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzRomero seems to have lost his touch doing zombie pics. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreSurvival of the Dead lacks the wit of "Zombieland," the polish and punch of last winter's "The Crazies," a remake of a Romero zombie picture from the '70s. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseSly, yet solid, writing, which anticipates the audience being clever enough to expect a few twists, delivers them and then manages to inject a surprise or two, particularly with the evolution of the ethics dilemma at hand |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonThe inevitable all-you-can-eat orgy of zombies pulling stringy mouthfuls away from red, wet rib cages may satisfy gorehounds, but big set pieces showing how atrophied Romero's cutting and tactical framing have become is depressing to anyone who has valued his films for more than just splatter. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea"Lousy times make lousy people," someone opines, and maybe that's the point Romero's trying to drive home. |
