In what can be categorized as pooch screwing on steroids, the Brenden Theatres managed to botch up the screening of George Romero’s Surival of Dead, pissing of a throng of angry zombies while also embarassing zombie legend George Romero. Here’s the scoop from Stephanie … Went to this and waited an hour before Brendan theater employees canceled it. It boiled down to them not having anyone competent enough to transfer the film to another projector or change the faulty lightbulb. So yeah, The Palms is a joke.

It’s your basic promotional film whereby all the actors gush about Romero, speckled with behind the scenes footage.
