The third movie of the Dead pentalogy, this largely takes place in a military bunker. Like the cult classic Dawn of the Dead, Land
explores secondary issues like the treatment of minorities and exposes the dictatorial tendencies, the suppression of dissent and the racist and misogynistic streaks which run in people when they know they are not answerable to anyone. The screenplay is the real winner here as Romero writes a mean follow up to Dawn
which is commendable. There is a brilliant segment about the attempt to domesticate the zombie, echoes of which were present in a small sub-section of World War Z, the book. The gore quotient is remarkably high for a movie of the 80s with the last fifteen minutes straight from hell, thanks to Tom Savini, the SFX guru.
