Review of Diary of the Dead (2007) by Tiernans. — 28 May 2008
Fortunately, the first person camerawork is far steadier here than it was in films like 'Cloverfield,' 'The Blair Witch Project' and the last two 'Bourne' films. However, I have a nagging point to make.
Why and how are the type of zombies portrayed in the vast majority of the countless zombie movies over the years so dangerous and deadly? They move as slow as a lawn mower on idle, and have no real cognitive functioning (hint:they're really stupid).
"Oh no, a zombie is going to eat me, I don't know what to do?" Um, how about you just move a little to the left. Geez! This isn't a bad zombie flick. There's the prerequisite gore and mayhem and such.
No one call pull this off better than Romero, but I have to wonder how he hasn't become bored with this genre at this point.
