Review
Aintitcool have published the first 'unofficial' review of the film, courtesy of Norman England, Japan's Fango correspondant and long time Romero freak.
Review excerpt:
"HOWEVER, rough cut or not, missing footage and absent insert graphics not withstanding, I was overwhelmed so much by what I saw that I feel the need to come out and proclaim LAND OF THE DEAD as being one of the best genre movies I have ever seen. It is that good. Dare I say,it is that GREAT!"
Rating
America's MPAA has awarded Land of the Dead an R-rating for "pervasive strong violence and gore, language, brief sexuality and some drug use".

More Information
George Romero's Land of the Dead features a plot whereby the zombies have taken over the world and those humans still left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps.
Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers. It is left to a group of scavengers to thwart an attempt to overthrow the city as the dead evolve from brainless slow-moving zombies into more advanced creatures.
