Review of Diary of the Dead (2007) by Cenobia — 10 May 2008
Terrible film. If you can actually sit through the first half without leaving you deserve an award. The acting is horrible and the shots are worse. They actually set up alternate camera shots by looking at the person holding the other camera.
It is unbearable. There is maybe 45 minutes of actual movie here. The rest is just random news clips, and slow motion shots of what we've already seen. At one point they basically re-play an entire clip that had occurred seconds before.
The voice over is just annoying, and they feel the need to spell things out for you multiple times. Redundancy is all this movie is good at. There aren't even any decent scares. Everything is easily anticipated, and pretty much every zombie kill ends the same way, so even watching the horrible actors die doesn't save this piece of trash.
Avoid at all costs. If you want a good zombie flick re-watch one of the 28 days films.
