9 Land is obviously not for all tastes. Anyone who doesn't want to the see dozens of violent killings, ripped entrails, buckets of fake blood and sporadic ghoul picnics where rotten-looking, blank-eyed zombies chow down on their kill should probably avoid Land of the Dead.
E!
6 ...pretty mindless...

7 Romero has given us, as well as the zombies, a lot to chew on. There is as much allegory to his tale as there is blood, and let me tell you, there's no shortage of blood.

7 ...alive with subtle touches.

5 ...a familiar rehashing of what Romero already covered in Day of the Dead.

4 ...listless and uninspired...

8 ...an excellent freakout of a movie.

8 ...isn't that scary, in the sense of evoking spine-tingling terror, but it offers a compelling, striking vision of the near-future that suggests there is in the world today much that's scarier than zombies.

7 ...boasts a solid plot, a political subtext and skillful performances...

8 ...this is the finger-lickin' flick that flesh-a-holic zombie fanatics have been waiting for.
Premiere
Aaron Hillis
9 ...a slyly suspenseful and droll thrill-ride that expounds on both the highbrow and the chewed-off-brow concepts of his previous trilogy...
