But on August 6th, seminal Toronto repertory theater The Royal will honor the legacy of Toronto resident Romero with a special screening of his 2009 film – his final feature – Survival of the Dead.
The screening is at 8pm but The Royal will roll out a wild Romero trailer reel starting at 7pm.
Some fans of the filmmaker’s previous, considerably more nihilistic and angry, zombie films were somewhat taken aback by Survival of the Dead upon release.
Survival of the Dead is the perfect epitaph for one of the smartest, boldest and truest independent filmmakers in history.
