Yes, the original trilogy is unchallenged and also the predecessor Land of the Dead is better, but Survival of the Dead is still better than 90% of the output of the genre. I found this little flick lately in my collection and watched it again - nothing special, and no masterpiece, but solid and entertaining, okay comes to mind, but that is compared to the first dead movies (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead) of course rather a disappointing statement to make.
