What Parents Need to Know
About Land of the Dead
Parents need to know that this zombie movie is relentlessly, though resourcefully, bloody, and not for children. Parents should be aware that it follows in a tradition largely established by director George Romero, aiming for innovative uses of grisly special effects makeup with a focus on loose body parts, vicious dismemberments, and exposed viscera. (Aficionados of the genre will appreciate the outrageousness.) When they aren't killing or eating each other, characters smoke, drink, dress scantily, do drugs, prostitute and pimp, and use foul language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about this movie's class analysis. Aside from the obvious social and moral problem posed by the greedy rich man in a tower, the film also presents zombies as a class exploited by humans. How do the zombies become analogous to slaves? Why might the underclass humans (locked outside the fortress city and mall) identify with the zombies? How do the heroes triumph by banding together and trusting each other, rather than fighting each other?

I liked the original movies, but...
This movie was graphic and intense from start to finish, not to mention there was about 40 f-words. The movie wasn't even that good compared to the original "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" movies. This movie isn't even scary. It just shows people getting killed for two hours. Skip it unless you just want to be able to say that you've seen the whole series.

Can't we all just get along!
Predictable and simplistic storyline,but great social message, and of course fantastic gore. Not really that scary, so might be OK for some kids 12 and older. In it's own strange way, a FUN movie.

a must watch for the non-squemish
I am 14 years old, I saw this movie the first day it opened, and saw it 1 week later. I highly enjoyed this movie, though I warn you, this is quite violent. Beneath the rough zombie experience is a semi-deep movie involving people force to live in a contained area, and how they interact. Truly brilliant, congrats to Romero for delivering.
