I saw the official trailer on Youtube, and recently on IMDB they have their panties in a twist in the commentary section for 2004's Dawn of the Dead, because the Survival of the Dead trailer shows a zombie on horseback. BUT, as I understand it, this movie involves a possible zombie cure, so this might be a zombie in re-transition back to humanity. I don't know. It was a woman zombie, probably a love interest, they always often get a little bit of a break.

From what I've seen so far in some of these trailer snippets, though, much of the zombie killing looks like it's being played for laughs, and I don't like that at all (the "pick a celeb zombie" scene from the very creepy and frightening 2004 DoD was a special case, deliberately intended to be funny; some of what I'm seeing here in SoD is straight-up zombie killing, but silly style, like shoving the nozzle of a fire extinguisher in a zombie's mouth and pressuring the whole head to explode its contents out through the eyes, ears, etc. Plus would you ever punch a Romero zombie in the head if you had any other choice? IN THE MOUTH?! Where one scratch of a zombie's tooth means you're heading for zombieland pretty soon?).

Oh, from what I've seen we're back to slow movers.

Well, whatever, it's a zombie movie, it's Romero, so I'm watching it.

Maybe it was a jockey?

Comcast has it on their New Movies On Demand section for $9.99.   I saw it there yesterday when I paid for Boondock Saints II.
