Survival of the Dead (2009)

The families on Plum Island are in a feud over how to handle zombies. The O'Flynns kill them to keep everyone safe and make sure no one else gets infected. But the Muldoons say the zombies are kin and keep them captive in hope that someday there will be a cure. The disagreement comes to a head when the head of the Muldoon clan kicks the head of the O'Flynn clan off the island.

Meanwhile on the mainland, a few members of the Army are killing zombies and looking for a safe place to go. After rescuing a teenager from some creepy hunters, the boy mentions that he heard someone broadcasting that Plum Island was a safe place. Since they don't have another alternative, they decide to go.

After the Army exchanges gunfire with the excommunicated O'Flynns, a huge crowd of zombies attack both groups. The survivors (some army guys and the head of the O'Flynns) head to Plum Island, and we're right back in the middle of the feud. Oh and there is a zombie riding a horse.

Probably my least favorite of the Romero zombie movies. Seriously, if you're going to try to communicate with zombies and think they recognize you, at least keep a safe distance so they don't bite you.
