God help us. As if it wasn’t enough to have Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead or even non-Romero titles like Flight of the Living Dead, Dance of the Dead or Shaun of the Dead in our zombie film library, now we have George A. Romero’s (tentatively titled film), …Of The Dead may just be the source of extreme “lazy-titling” embarrassment! While buzz has been circulating about …Of The Dead, Romero’s newest zombie feature, for quite some time now we were hoping that by the time we saw the trailer and official plot synopsis, they would have come up with a better, less obvious name! Hit the jump to watch the trailer and read the full plot description from Voltage Pictures.

Voltage Pictures Official Plot Description for …Of the Dead:
On a small island off North America's coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Yet...the islanders can't bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones, despite the growing danger from those the once held dear. A rebel among them hunts down all the zombies he can find, only to be banished from the island for assassinating his neighbors and friends. On the mainland, bent on revenge, he encounters a small band of survivors in search of an oasis on which to build a new life. Barely surviving an attack from a mass of ravenous flesh-eaters. They commandeer a zombie-infested ferry and sail to the island. There, to their horror, they discover that the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, pretending to live 'normal' lives...with bloody consequences. What ensues is a desperate struggle for survival and the answer to a question never posed in Romero's Dead films: Can the living ever live in peace with the dead?
