Diary Of The Dead Review
George Romero’s Diary of the Dead is an amazing zombie movie but also an amazing social satire. Romero is great at using his work to not only create amazing zombie movies but also point out what he sees wrong with the world.
This time around he is using a digital camera to swat at what Peter Travers calls YouTube-ification of America. It brings questions to the forefront about this circus we all call pop culture.
It wont take much for you to understand I am a huge George Romero junkie. His four other installments all are the staples of zombie culture. Anyone who is at all interested in horror films understands that Romero is truly a genius.
The movie this time starts out as Jason Creed (Joshua Close), is filming a low budget horror film for his college class. He ends up running from real zombies. He becomes obsessed with making sure he records everything. The camera becomes part of him even when its affecting his personal relationship with his girlfriend Debra (Michelle Morgan). Debra tells Jason in a sort of mocking way “For you, if it’s not on film it never happened.”
This movie is the most brilliant zombie movie ever made by Romero in my humble Opinion. I give it 5 stars. I would recommend this movie not only if you are looking for a scare, which it gives, but also if you are interested in a smart well done Horror film.
