Amazon.co.uk Review
George A Romero continues his revival of his iconic zombie franchise with Diary Of The Dead, the fifth film in a series that kicked off back in 1968 with Night Of The Living Dead. And while his latest doesnt manage to match the heights of the earlier films, theres still something refreshing about watching a genuine master of the genre at work. This time around then, Diary Of The Dead heads a little back to basics, with a film that follows a group of amateur filmmakers who find themselves under siege from zombies, allowing the legendary director to take some less-than-subtle swipes at the YouTube generation. Sadly, his cast dont help him very much, ringing in primarily forgettable performances, and this certainly nullifies some of the points that Romero tries to make. Yet when it comes to the zombie action, theres no number youd call faster than Romeros, and heres where the great man delivers. Diary Of The Dead does work along the law (more…)

i was very impressed with this film. Romero tries something different by using hand held cameras and the point of veiw of the characters holding them.

Terrible
I like both the original Romero films and the remakes and thought this would be a great film, similar to his first.
However it is shocking.

Stand Back For A Moment And See How It’s Done.
It began with George A. Romero and a black and white film whose final scene informed the audience exactly what this genre should be all about.

In the begining…
The story is set in line with Night of the living dead (yes they have camcorders in this one) just as the dead are returning to life a group of college film students attempt to…

This one has heart
After the sterility of LAND OF THE DEAD, how heartening it is to see Romero give us something so much fun at such a late stage in his career.

Romero, the Godfather of the Zombie Movie, Does it again…
After hearing that this was crap compared to Cloverfield (2007) I had originally thought to leave this and wait till it was on terrestrial Television.
