日前，美国导演乔治-罗密欧2010年新作《活死人之岛》以影史上第一部僵尸片入围威尼斯影展。

　　台湾“今日新闻”消息，《活死人之岛》是乔治僵尸系列中的第六部作品，其中1968年打开僵尸恐片热潮的《活死人之夜》是美国恐怖片中最具影响力电影，更因该片让乔治-罗密欧成为现代恐怖电影之父。

　　此次乔治-罗密欧将《活死人之岛》的背景设定在一个僵尸横行的绝望世界，幸存的人类不断受到僵尸的致命威胁，为了免于惨遭生吞活剥的命运，人类组织一武装部队寻找一个尚未被入侵的净土。

George Romero always finds numerous ways to thread all sorts of sly social commentary throughout his tales of undead mega-carnage, and he's not the only one: brainy filmmakers have been utilizing the "'zombie" concept to tell all sorts of subtextual stories: Fido, 28 Days Later, and I Walked With a Zombie have all extracted some interesting ideas in between all the chasing, chewing and chomping, so it's safe to say that, in many cases, the zombie-style horror flick can be plumbed for some rather smart ideas.
