Land of the Dead tells the story of a distant future. Where the dead comes back to life to feast upon the flesh of the living. A living person, turns into a zombie or nicknamed ’stench’ after being bitten by them. They can only be killed an inflicting an injury to it’s head.

To survive, the remaining living humans live inside the security of a fortified city surrounded by electric fence and rivers. Occasionally, the living went out of the city to gather abandon supplies and necessities by distracting the ’stench’ using fireworks. In this city, the living were in political turmoil when the rich who commands the city, consistently ignores the need of the poor resulting in internal conflicts.

Whilst being in a mindless man-eating state, the ’stench’ also has the tendencies to mimic the actions they use to do when they were alive. Although these actions are harmless, it showed that traces of memory and ability to relate still lies in their mind. Problem arouses when one of the ’stench’ suddenly developed the ability to think. Further developed the ability to communicate, with his army of the undead, they stormed the fortified city.

I hate zombies. They’re just plain creepy. But I like this movie. It feels like a horror for the early part but slowly evolved to an action. Still, with all the explosion and stuff, there were a lot of ‘feeding’. People getting eaten by swarm of zombies. Zombie suddenly came out of nowhere and bit off your arm. Definitely not for the vegetarian and the weak hearted.
