Synopsis: Said to take place concurrently with Night of the Living Dead, Diary offers another point of view of the original zombie outbreak.
My Take: I am glad Romero had a chance to show us modern day reactions to a zombie outbreak. Having said that, this one is for the die-hard fans only. The low budget can be blamed for the poor acting. And while the First Person point-of-view is interesting and somewhat original (to the horror genre), the gimmick gets old after a while.I spent the entire movie waiting for a climax that never came.
Points for originality and the social commentary.
The Rundown:
- Worst Scene: The climax...it never happened.
- Best Scene: While the characters acted like idiots during the hospital scene, it was interesting to see the state of affairs of the hospital after a zombie attack.
