DVD Reviews of George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead
DVD Review: What happened to the director of "Dawn of the Dead" ?
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad acting . Want to see a good zombie movie ? Dawn of the Dead remains the best of all. Avoid it !!!DVD Review: Not THAT bad!
Summary: 5 Stars
Im a huge fan of the whole Romero-Zombie-Stuff.
Diary of the Dead is a nice spin-off, but cannot mess with the classics or the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Just enjoy another, mostly frightening zombie-movie. I like it :-)
DVD Review: They're dead and we're all messed up
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone seems to be leaning toward the "it was okay" review. However, this is a masterpiece. I love the social commentary that Romero is pounding into everyone's head. It's great and it is VERY much needed in a day and age where everyone does nothing but film mayhem and never does anything to help someone who is in dire straits. I am guessing people are afraid of this film because it truly shows how much of a society of dumb-dumbs we are. Cell phone users are included.
This in my opinion is Romero's best film since 1985's "Day Of The Dead".
Much much much better than "Land Of The Dead". Looking at the simplicity of a mansion that has a built in panic room...only to be that the mansion itself is a panic room. And that we see things on tv and try and say that it is "really not happening" when in fact it is.
Look to interviews with Tom Savini and his stint as a combat photographer in Vietnam and how he said that him looking at the carnage through the lense was a seperation from what was very much in fact happening around him.
I love this film and will stand by my statement. If people still wanna try and compare this to the original "Dawn Of The Dead", then you are cheating yourselves and this film becuase NOTHING will ever measure up to it's standards.
Oh, and I hate reality tv and this too makes fun of that garbage.
DVD Review: George A. Romero Kinda Went Downhill For Me!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I love George A. Romero's Zombie flicks! My favorites are Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Land of the Dead! Day of the Dead and now Diary of the Dead are my least favorite. I don't hate them, they are just kinda weak. I was really pumped to see this movie because it was a new beginning to Romero's Zombie series. I was expecting to see people being ripped apart by zombies, but that didn't happen. I do love the opening scene, with the immigrant family coming back and eating people. I love the background in the opening too, that orange kind of sunset is really awesome! Jason Creed wants to make a mummy movie for his college class, then his friends hear about the zombie epidemic. They all get in a Winnebago and look for help. The whole movie takes place on a handheld camera. There are some cool zombie gore scenes. Some parts are kinda boring. If you love zombies and George A. Romero, you might like GEORGE A. ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD!!!
p.s. I can't wait for Diary of the Dead 2!
DVD Review: unexciting with garbage characters
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, I didn't care about the characters. At all. I couldn't relate to them, I didn't want to hear them talk, I wanted them all to die. And from there, we get what George Romero must have thought would be cute: a homevideo style chronicle of the start of a zombie outbreak. It was sort of interesting to watch at points, seeing the background reaction of the media and everybody posting to youtube and all that. But it ended at sor t of and never grew. It didn't provide anything new, and I mean if George Romero is going to plaster his name right there in the title he better back himself up with something that will make me think some more about the genre. Even a little. I didn't. It's all stuff that I've either seen on tiny low budget movies, read in novels or short stories, or hell even just read on a typo filled message board. It was so flat and uninspired.
I did have some hopes for this film, but they were all dashed. It just annoyed me more than anything else.
Description of George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead
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 grisly fueled by the directors signature realistic special effects Diary of the Dead is must-see horror that is Romero at his finest (bloody-disgusting.com).George Romero has always come up with new ways of treating his zombies, and Diary of the Dead is no exception: Romero keeps his dead fresh, with an original approach to the undying subject. This one purports to be the video record of a group of young people who are shooting a low-budget horror movie when the terror strikes: corpses begin re-animating, intent on chewing the living. Our heroes trek across Pennsylvania, encountering the staggering zombies as they go. Other pieces of video are incorporated, which gives Romero a chance at some great set-pieces, including the brilliant opening sequence, a live local-TV feed that goes horribly, horribly wrong, and a home-video tape from a family birthday party, where the party clown turns out to be a dead ringer. All of Romero's Dead films are political, and this one's no exception, with a stark view of the way things are today; it doesn't offer the Hawksian heroics of the survivors in Dawn of the Dead or Land of the Dead for comfort, just a group of bickering, shocked youths. There's too much talk about the detachment of watching things through a lens, but in general this is a bracing, intelligent movie. Plus, there's some excellent splatter. --Robert Horton
