From legendary frightmaster George A. Romero comes "one of the most daring, hypnotic and absolutely vital horror films of the past decade" (fangoria.com). Romero continues his influential "Dead" series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies while struggling for their own survival. Intensely gruesome and relentlessly gr

Movie Reviews of Diary of the Dead [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: You just can't go wrong with a Romero zombie flick!
Summary: 5 Stars

Not to date myself, but I clearly recall the day I had begged my parents to rent me this little movie on VHS called 'Night of the Living Dead' back when there was no sell thru pricing and if you wanted to buy a film they were like 90 bucks. So of course I made a copy of it from VCR to VCR and I watched the movie so many times I warped the tape. And since then Mr. Romero has never disappointed me. Though my favorite of his Flesh eating masterpieces (and one of my favorite films period) still continues to be Day of the Dead, I really enjoyed Diary immensely hence, why I give it a perfect score. While I don't give the acting a perfect score, and there are times when certain bouts of dialog are painful to listen to, the overall atmosphere the movie creates, with it's faux documentary style and it's various current pop culture references, is quite unique and engaging. From the very beginning, with the immigrant zombies to it's sudden finale, this movie will take you for one sweet, zombie infested joy ride if you just let it. I did see opportunities for the movie to really be more allegorical and with this push more on the boundaries of political correctness. more gore would've been nice also (not that the movie lacks gore I'm just a bit glutinous when it comes to violence in horror). Too many films these days, even horror, are afraid to really be socially challenging and transgression al and instead opt for a safer approach. The whole immigrant angle in the beginning, for example, would've been fun to explore. But then again one can always add their two cents to any film no matter how great and it wouldn't take away from it. Even the acting, to me, doesn't take away from the experience. So on the experience, which is why we watch movies in the first place, I rate it 5 stars. A prefect way to spend 96 minutes of your life. And if you're new to the wonderful world of George Romero ( I figure AMC's 'The Walking Dead' series will create more interest in the genre) be sure to check out Day of Dead, Dawn of the Dead (The Argento cut I like the best), Land of the Dead, Survival of the Dead and...Don't forget the one that started it all ; Night of the Living Dead (just not the 30th anniversary one).
