George A. Romero, who revolutionized the American
horror film in 1968 with the instant classic
Night of the Living Dead, returns to his dystopian zombie cycle with this
horror thriller. In
Land of the Dead, the zombies whose numbers had been slowly but steadily growing through
Dawn of the Dead and
Day of the Dead now dominate the streets of most American cities, while urban skyscrapers have been taken over by surviving humans, usually greed-addled opportunists who allow the living to stay in their fortified compounds for a price. Guarding the buildings are rough-and-tumble mercenaries who have learned to do battle with the zombies, making use of powerful weapons to gain advantage. But as the zombie civilization grows, the creatures have begun to slowly evolve, with their dormant thought processes beginning to awaken, and as unrest begins to ferment among the mercenaries and the entrepreneurs who pay them, the ghouls may have found a way to defeat the last stronghold of humanity.
Land of the Dead stars
Dennis Hopper as arch capitalist
Kaufman, and
Simon Baker,
John Leguizamo,
Robert Joy, and
Asia Argento as some of the mercenaries;
Asia Argento's father,
Dario Argento, served as a producer on one of the earlier films in the series,
Dawn of the Dead.
