Even Romero's staunchest fans might conclude their hero is going through the motions here. Yes, almost like a zombie.

What we've got here is a just a B-movie western with buckets of gore, which might be fine coming from a Romero wannabe but not from the genuine article.
Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
Rotten
Steeped in fan-pleasing gore but woefully thin on ideas, originality (beyond new zombie-offing methods) or directorial flair.
Leslie Felperin, Variety
Rotten
Big set pieces showing how atrophied Romero's cutting and tactical framing have become is depressing to anyone who has valued his films for more than just splatter.
Nick Pinkerton, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Survival of the Dead almost never snaps into focus. Even its oxymoronic title doesn't work. It feels marginal, like an extended footnote.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
