Magnolia Home Entertainment released its very first feature commentary earmarked and created exclusively for BD Live today as a part of their latest release Survival of the Dead, now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Longtime friends George A. Romero and Steve ‘Uncle Creepy’ Barton chat about the film, the horror genre, and life in general. A comfortable and hilarious commentary, the feature plays out like two friends catching up and also represents a side of the George that few fans have ever seen.
Survival of the Dead is the newest film from George A. Romero and picks up where Diary of the Dead leaves off – in a nightmarish world where humans are the minority and zombies rule. Off the coast of Delaware sits cozy Plum Island where two families have been feuding for generations. The O’Flynns approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons insist that the zombies should be quarantined and kept “alive” in hopes that a solution will someday be found. What ensues is a gory and desperate struggle for survival and the search for the answer to the question: Can the living ever exist in peace with the dead?
The two-disc Survival of the Dead Ultimate Undead Edition DVD and single disc Blu-ray are bursting with bonus features that take viewers deeper into the world of the living dead, including the “Walking After Midnight” documentary, interviews with Romero, an audio commentary and much more and will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 each. The film also will be available as a standard edition DVD for the suggested retail price of $26.98.
Accessible through the Blu-ray format only, the feature commentary is available via download through BD Live.

The Wagner/Cuban Companies' Magnet Releasing, genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, announced today that it has acquired US rights to George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead, the latest in the legendary and beloved series of zombie films which bowed at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals earlier this year. Romero, one of the most influential and respected horror auteurs of all time, has created a new, terrifying vision that combines viscerally gory undead action with biting social commentary and a return to the black humor and playfulness of his seminal film, Dawn of the Dead. Magnet will release the film as part of its Ultra VOD program this spring, debuting it on VOD platforms nationwide a month before its theatrical release.
Like its predecessors, George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island – a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: the O’Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept “alive” until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and violence.
“George A. Romero is an undisputed cinematic legend, and we’re honored to be bringing another installment of this incredible series of films to horror fans,” said Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles. “Survival... is smart, extremely fun and a worthy addition to the ...of the Dead franchise.”
Says Romero, “I’m a big admirer of the team at Magnolia. They’re creative and passionate, and I’m excited to put Survival... in their hands.”
