The film begins with footage from a news cameraman and reporter, who are covering a story about an immigrant man killing his wife and son before committing suicide. The reanimated corpses of the son and wife attack the medics and police officers and are killed, but not before they bite the reporter and a medic. The narrator, Debra, explains most of the footage was never broadcast, but was secretly uploaded by the cameraman, who was trying to "tell the truth". A group of young film studies students from the University of Pittsburgh are in the woods making their own horror film along with their faculty adviser, Andrew Maxwell, when they hear on the radio the news of apparent mass-rioting and mass murder. Soon, these reports include cannibalism and the fact that the recently deceased are inexplicably waking and walking. Two of the students, Ridley and Francine, decide to leave the group, while project director Jason, who wants to film the events documentary-style, heads to the dormitory of his girlfriend Debra(the narrator). When she cannot contact her family, they travel in an RV to the house of Debra's parents in Scranton, Pennsylvania. On the way, the driver, Mary sees a car accident and runs over a highway patrolman and three other zombies trying to escape from them. The group stops and, after running over an undead state trooper, Mary shoots herself in the head with a pistol. Her friends take her to a hospital, where they find the dead are returning to life as zombies, and they need to fight to survive while traveling to Debra's parents' house. Mary turns into a zombie and attacks the group, but Maxwell shoots her dead. On their way out, one of the students, Gordo, is bitten by a zombie. After Gordo dies, his girlfriend Tracy begs the group not to shoot him immediately; she is ultimately forced to shoot him herself when he comes back as a zombie. They are sidelined when the fuel line of the RV breaks, but they are assisted by a deaf Amish man named Samuel. The barn they are hiding in is surrounded by zombies whom they fight off as Tracy repairs the RV. Just before escaping, Samuel is bitten and kills himself and the attacker by stabbing himself with a scythe through his head. They later pass a city and are stopped by an armed gang. They try to barter with the men, who are better armed and supplied. The men are survivors of the attack on their city; everyone else left. The leader is a member of the National Guard, and does not believe the military will help. They rest in the city for a while, and edit their videos. They see on the news the chief of police presenting a cover up saying there is no danger to be worried of. Debra also receives a text from her younger brother, who verifies that he and their parents where camping in West Virginia and are now on their way home. The students resupply and leave for Debra's house. They get a video stream from Tokyo from a survivor until they lose signal. The only dependable source of information is now the internet, added by bloggers. When they arrive at Debra's house, they find her mother and brother reanimated and her father being consumed. They escape the house and decide to travel back to Ridley's mansion, but are stopped by different National Guardsmen, who rob them, leaving them only their weapons. They arrive at Ridley's mansion and find it abandoned. A bookcase in the mansion opens to reveal a panic room where a shell-shocked Ridley stumbles out. He brings the group on a grand tour and then explains that his parents, the staff, and Francine were all killed by zombies. He invites Debra and Tony to follow him outside to where he "buried" his family and the servants, but it is revealed that he just dumped them in the pool. Ridley locks the two in the pool room and runs away to the house where he transforms and begins to hunt the group. Ridley kills Eliot by electrocuting him in the bathtub, then attacks Tracy and Jason at the RV, before Jason distracts Ridley long enough for Tracy to knock him out. She then runs to the RV and drives away, angry at Jason for filming rather than helping. The survivors decide to go hold out in the panic room for except for Jason, who believes that it is not worth surviving in the zombie infested world and wishes to film the events for "who ever remains when it's over" As Jason leaves, Ridley returns and infects Jason. Maxwell kills Ridley, and Debra shoots Jason. Debra decides to continue the video. In the morning they awake to see zombies beginning to emerge their way to the mansion. Maxwell, Debra, and Tony lock themselves in the panic room. Inside, Debra watches the last thing Jason downloaded: A hunting party shooting zombies of people they previously left tied to trees, leaving them to die and reanimate and using them as shooting targets. After seeing this, Debra wonders whether the human race is worth saving, as the film ends.








The movie is like a documentary movie dahil umiikot ang lahat dahil merong camera man sa kanila na sa umpisa ng movie gagawa lang sila ng movie pero ayun naabutan na din sila ng zombie kaya takbo at kung san san sila pumunta para makasurvive.

Sa movie na ito Internet is still available at yun ang way of communication sa buong mundo. sa iba't-ibang part ng mundo ay nagkakazombie na din. Habang tumatagal yung movie nagkakaubusan silang lahat dun sila nahinto sa mansion ng kaibigan nila na merong panic room at yung mga natirang survivor nandun lang sa panic room. may pinakitang video kung saan may pinapatay silang zombie at sinabing Is the human race worth saving?

Then the movie ends. maganda yung movie, george romero zombie films is great maliban na lang sa Survival of the Dead na worst zombie film ni romero dahil ang pangit talaga.
