While not even scheduled for limited release in the U.S. until May, George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead is out on Blu-Ray/ DVD today in the UK. It includes absolutely no special features and a crappy cover, but is none the less available for your home viewing pleasure.

These aren’t the zombies you’re looking for…

It’s available for $14.95 and has 24 full color pages and a built-in sound module full of zombie sounds! From Chronicle’s description:

The Crazies Remake Opens Today

Nate Higley — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:50:41 +0000

While not exactly a zombie film, we thought you’d still like to know that The Crazies remake opens today! I’m a huge fan of the original 1973 George A. Romero film and I am heading out soon today to check out this new version. I was slightly surprised by the trailer for the remake by the simple fact that I after I watched it, I wanted to see it. Not normal for a remake theses days!
