Advantages: The syle of filmaking works

Disadvantages: Can be distracting to some

Diary of the dead is another Zombie flick directed by vetran Zombie film maker George A. Romero.

Shot in the style of the blair witch and Cloverfield all from the point of view of a video camera its a departure from his previous films.

The story follows a group of young film makers filming a horror, as they go about there work thngs around them start to go wrong and they recieve information via TV and other forms of media and communication that there seems to be some kind of outbreak making the undead rise.

The film is more a commentry on how we go about our day to day live today feeding our thirst for information via internet and tv. its very much a modern version of the zombie genre that in parts work.

The tension is high due to the confinement of the video camra but lets itself down with some moments of comedy characters like an unfased amish man and some one note characters.

The fimm as previous installments has a lot of horror and is not light on the blood but is hard to concentrate and be scared by this type of creature on a shaky camera. Like the style of cloverfield and blair witch the characters are on screen all the time and we follow thir plight as they try to survive the carnage.

Light on plot the film reddems itself with the style of the film and has moments that will disturb but make you think how dependent we are on technology today.

A so so zombie film
