I'm getting off topic here in a way but this is for the zombie worms thing
it pretty much has been done, it's called "slither", well they're technically not zombies but the concept is really all the same really
it's basically a zombie movie except this time it's a parasite that takes over people's minds(if you played HALO it's like the flood or RESISTANCE it's like well the entire chimera, more like the flood though)but that movie wasn't all that good
well I guess it's true there are just too many zombie movies especially when they all pretty much look the same, act the same, and normally ends similar
I mean there normally just psychopathic disease cannibals normally caused by the government or toxic waste and just mindlessly go around killing and eating or infecting random people, military forces then fights back probable lose the battle but may win the war at the end(depends) and a small group of survivors make it out sometimes...the end
@KILLSHOCK1100 The thing is, the Zombie genre has juust gotten into the mainstream and while yea there are lots of repetitive zombie flicks, there are plenty of ways to still do them. Its like saying there are too many war movies or too many movies with talking animals. I mean look at The Walking, it was a great series that took a more dramatic look at the apocalypse, using the zombies as more of a catalyst for character development. So hopefully directors start experimenting more with zombies.
@KillaTequilla83 well yeah but there isn't much experimenting with zombie in movies
I mean even the ones that did pretty much all like this except some have slight difference
but yeah even animal pop culture reference movie can be very different then other(not to say that some might be similar) for EX: "Kung Fu Panda 2" is very different to "Rango" completely
but even when zombie movies are suppository different they're basically same
we just need more new ideas with them (too similar)

@KILLSHOCK1100, actually it's more like this. THere's too many CLASSIC Zombie Films. Back than it's all about surviving, a disease, a group of survivors, and guns shooting everywhere as the audience is scare of zombies with bad clown make up but still good story. Today it's USUALLY about disease, surviving, group of survivors but this time you have to shoot them in the head, the audience bored of the zombie's realistic behavior, way much gore and less story. In the future, it's an empty theater.
@TheNorth15 Yeah but either way they all pretty much go this way with very similar plots, settings, elements...there has to be more ways to use zombies rather then just dressing up and update the basic same movies over and over. Some have better stories then other but it's still the basic stuff and similar to basic same theme. Also because of pretty much every zombie movie being the basic same movie they're highly predictable and never really offers something new these days.
Loved the idea of switching shaking camera perspectives whenever two cameras face each other. I loved the other entries and loved this, a must-see for fans.
I know it's your opinion and all... but really? Night is second to last? after Stephen King's It that's my favorite horror movie and by far the best zombie movie ever made (the girl killing the mom; that still give me the creeps and just to imagine the movie is 50 years old! can you imagine back then) If you like zombie movies you should really check out Braindead AKA Dead alive. Goriest movie ever
this movie shouldve been good, i wanted this movie to be good, but sigh no, the new survival of the dead is ok but alittle lame, george i know ur old n all but ur still the king of zombies we need to see more of ur genius.
One thing I just do not get about this move is why the fuck would you film the entire time seriously put the damn camera up and run like hell. I know they said they wanted to help people survive but they should be more concerned about thenselves also with Cloverfield why the fuck would you video tape through that situation too jesus leave the city.
Hated this movie so hardcore. I don't expect good acting from Romero movies, but this one was laughably bad. The characters were tired cliches. The humor missed every time. "Help! I'm about to get eaten." Then you have the main character with "I...must film this. It's...important."
just watched this , terrible props i mean your sitting there saying to yourself "yup thats clearly a fake hand" acting is painful to the point your starting to cring at lines like "it used to be us fighting us now its us fighting them " Girl lead voice over " He was right but in a way they are us" Dear god that was painful. Zombie movie wise its good , you got your gore and jump scares but their too far apart to make it worth seeing. i'd give this a rental just for a zombie movie marathon
zombie worms? you mean like slither? been there, it sucked.
You to see something different? Here's an idea. A Zombie comedy that's actually funny. Shawn of the dead sucked. Slither really sucked. Zombieland was close, but not really funny.
Incredibly boring. The end was the worst I've seen. Dumb kids walking around like they are in a prom. Deliberately doing stupid things when they know the dead walk. I give up...
Im one of those people to terrified to watch any horror movie so I a good zombie movie keeps me on the edge of my seat and I have a lot of fun with it.
So, yea they are right, it is a solid "B" movie. BUT when you accept that and zombie movies are already really exciting for you, Diary of the Dead is pretty good.
Its a classic zombie flick shot in 1st person with some badass gore and a good look into the beginning of the apocalypse in the eyes of George Romero.
the movie was so so with me :( It was like the old days of the zombies,slow walkings and such. BTW George Romero did appear in the movie as a zombie cop :D
I have to agree strongly with not evolving zombies. The emphasis of zombie movies is a few humans hiding and fighting. When they become smart it just becomes normal guerilla warfare, which we have already seen in real life.
@EvilLeparacaun ok well sorry but that was the biggest waste of time in my entire life. i had high hopes for it. but it just wasnt very good. period. thats my opinion.
GUYS, don't know if you ever personaly check the comments, but if you wanna see a great monster-worm movie, check out Tremors 1 and 2. The last two sequals, number 4 and 5 where OK, but the first two scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, and are still very entertaining today.
lol yeah i completely agree, but i noticed that the 2 films were very different, like the genre or theme, one was a bit more mysterious and creepy, while the other had more humour (in some ways)
@Wowbagger86 i saw the first one late one night and its thousands of times better than this piece of shit, im a romero fan but after land of the dead his movies have gone way way down hill.
Here's my big problem with this movie. The movie is very critical towards violent media(movies, news etc) and our voyeuristic attitute towards it, using the guy with camera as an allegory. But how did Romero convey this message? A horror movie, a gruesome one he presumably wants us to watch. Doesn't that seem hypocritical to anyone else?
Since it's George A Romeo... It's sort of like if Sergio Leone should have made a really crappy western movie. I exspected more, and at least not below mediocre... not that I found Land of the dead to good eighter...
You can say whatever your want, and your taste, quite frankly, doesn't matter to anyone. But the fact is that there would have been no 28 days/weeks without George Romero. That's like saying "After Justin Timberlake and Usher, Michael Jackson literally is a joke". That STATEMENT is a joke! Romero is the father of the genre and, even though I didn't like the "smart zombies" either, his movies are still the best in the genre. And at least the first part of that sentence is NOT merely "my taste".
If i can say whatever I want and it doesn't matter to anyone, why did you even write this comment? Look, I know you're trying to be this wise sarcastic prick, but I'd say you're an idiot.. why? because apparently my earlier statement does matter to you.
Obviously I AM an idiot, otherwise, as you said very rightly, your misguided comment would NOT matter to me. The problem is, reading such bullshit hurts. I guess that's why "imarockstarforlife" and me are dropping down to your intellectual level and addressing you. But don't worry, this will be the last comment you'll receive from my end. You simply make my brain hurt too much. Reply notices will be deleted unread. Good luck... you'll need it!
Being original does not make his movies better. Try showing Dawn of the Dead 2004 and 1978 to someone who has never seen either and ask which one they liked better. Try the same thing with 28 Days/Weeks and Night of the living dead. The genre has changed and improved.
In fact, his films have gone downhill. The social commentary is now forced and contrived, the zombies aren't as scary and the characters have no development. Compare this movie to his originals and the problems are obvious.
@mst3k4evur Running super hero movies aren't an improvement. And the reason the social commentary appears forced is because it's present. Super power zombies are mindless jump startles. Not the same as scary.
No, the social commentary is forced, repetitive, preachy and simple. Try Animal Farm or District 9 for subtle, clever social commentary. Romero's version is to say over and over that 'video violence is bad, you're all sick and pay no attention to the fact that I'm feeding your desire for violence'.
And yes, the running zombies are scarier mainly because if I can leisurely jog away from danger there is no sense of danger.
A dead and rotting thing jumping up a flight of stairs is equal to super powers. The message isn't and never was "video violence is bad". And if you can't see the horror in every corpse with the faculties for mobility rising and senselessly eating the living, I'm not sure I can ever explain it to you. Of course you can elude them if you're clever. But most people aren't. Especially when put into a group. And you always have more to fear from the other living humans than you ever do from zombies.
Im a Life Long Zombie Movie Fan but if you wanna see some really stupid shit go watch american zombie. If you have seen you would notice they to it in this review. i swear to god that movie was an abortion on my tv screen
Oh man, the part where they talk about how the review was turning into Face the Nation: Zombie Politics was hilarious! And so was the Zombie Breakout Performance! hahaha!
Zombie movies are getting cliche. They don't try to scare you anymore they just try to gross you out. I have seen real videos of a guys head being blown off by a bomb, a guy shooting himself on the head etc. So the gross the audience out but doesn't really work on me. The whole POV movie also sucks just like cloverfield and this movie.
I've never heard about this movie about just now, it seems like a original zombie movie remake with better fx. Yes Cloverfield kick ass, but if you want to see a real zombie movie, rent "Quarantine", it's pretty scary I guess.
its funny he got famous by making a b rated movie infamous and you criticize his new movies cause they have the new movie style but his classic taste.... which I love about it but I agree keep the slow zombies I hate these sycho path zombies
this film has to be seen as bad before you watch it.
the best part i thought was the random farmer who cant talk, lobs a grenade and as the zombie bits are falling holds up a sign saying 'hello im bill' or something lol
i just didnt like the fact that Jason doesnt let go of the camera whatsoever, no matter what happens...like when his girlfriend, Debb, was getting attacked by her little brother, at her house, he was just standing there looking like a dumbass...or like when they were about to leave from the hospital, he could've saved the guy in front, you know? like hit the zombie or something, but no, again he stands there looking like a dumbass recording his friend getting attacked by a zombie
yea or when the blonde girl was being chased bye ridley outside of the mansion and she was asking for help but he just stood there and said wait i need to capture this
I actually liked the movie alot, despite the bad acting I prefer it to Land Of the dead, that was just TOO hollywood for me. Though seeing John Leguizamo as a latin thriller, that was worth it. But I'd have to say my fav scene in Diary of the dead is the hsopital scene when that chick blows out the nurses eyes and it just oozed, freakin awesome.
Cloverfield did it better than Romero??? Ugh...NO. Cloverfield was horrible,gave me a headache trying to keep up with the cam. No more first person POV..PLEASE! I cant wait for .......of the dead. The new Romero film.
This film was ok. Alot better than most of the crap i've seen lately! If you want a real fresh and original zombie movie have a look at this one instead!!!
Diary wasnt that great it was ok maybe even good but yes diary was better If your comparing them because they were both 1st person style but as for as horror goes i carry a zombie fan biased so cloverfield might have been better
the beginning of the film was annoying with the characters but once the zombies showed up it got better and you got to love the arrow-wielding alcoholic Brit professor!
I saw the movie poster and thought man this should be good.. Shite acting just ruined the entire thing.. never really felt any emotion i couldnt give a shit about the characters the main guy (the guy who holds the camera) his GF i wanted her to get fucking bitten constant bitching..I think i went into this movie thinking its gonna be some amazing zombie film but i shoulda just gone into thinking its ANOTHER zombie film.

If i can say whatever I want and it doesn't matter to anyone, why did you even write this comment? Look, I know you're trying to be this wise sarcastic prick, but I'd say you're an idiot.. why? because apparently my earlier statement does matter to you.
jdkjkjdkjdks 2 years ago
Obviously I AM an idiot, otherwise, as you said very rightly, your misguided comment would NOT matter to me. The problem is, reading such bullshit hurts. I guess that's why "imarockstarforlife" and me are dropping down to your intellectual level and addressing you. But don't worry, this will be the last comment you'll receive from my end. You simply make my brain hurt too much. Reply notices will be deleted unread. Good luck... you'll need it!

Being original does not make his movies better. Try showing Dawn of the Dead 2004 and 1978 to someone who has never seen either and ask which one they liked better. Try the same thing with 28 Days/Weeks and Night of the living dead. The genre has changed and improved.
In fact, his films have gone downhill. The social commentary is now forced and contrived, the zombies aren't as scary and the characters have no development. Compare this movie to his originals and the problems are obvious.

@mst3k4evur Running super hero movies aren't an improvement. And the reason the social commentary appears forced is because it's present. Super power zombies are mindless jump startles. Not the same as scary.

@existenceisrelative
Running does not equal super powered.
No, the social commentary is forced, repetitive, preachy and simple. Try Animal Farm or District 9 for subtle, clever social commentary. Romero's version is to say over and over that 'video violence is bad, you're all sick and pay no attention to the fact that I'm feeding your desire for violence'.
And yes, the running zombies are scarier mainly because if I can leisurely jog away from danger there is no sense of danger.
mst3k4evur 1 year ago
A dead and rotting thing jumping up a flight of stairs is equal to super powers. The message isn't and never was "video violence is bad". And if you can't see the horror in every corpse with the faculties for mobility rising and senselessly eating the living, I'm not sure I can ever explain it to you. Of course you can elude them if you're clever. But most people aren't. Especially when put into a group. And you always have more to fear from the other living humans than you ever do from zombies.

Zombie movies are getting cliche. They don't try to scare you anymore they just try to gross you out. I have seen real videos of a guys head being blown off by a bomb, a guy shooting himself on the head etc. So the gross the audience out but doesn't really work on me. The whole POV movie also sucks just like cloverfield and this movie.

i just didnt like the fact that Jason doesnt let go of the camera whatsoever, no matter what happens...like when his girlfriend, Debb, was getting attacked by her little brother, at her house, he was just standing there looking like a dumbass...or like when they were about to leave from the hospital, he could've saved the guy in front, you know? like hit the zombie or something, but no, again he stands there looking like a dumbass recording his friend getting attacked by a zombie

I actually liked the movie alot, despite the bad acting I prefer it to Land Of the dead, that was just TOO hollywood for me. Though seeing John Leguizamo as a latin thriller, that was worth it. But I'd have to say my fav scene in Diary of the dead is the hsopital scene when that chick blows out the nurses eyes and it just oozed, freakin awesome.

Thank you! I've been saying that since it came out!

Zombies are fucking classic, especially Romero zombies!
Slow creeping terror will always win out over startling jump moments. Though diary had too many of those for my taste.
And I'm not as infatuated with cheap cg as Romero is these days. Give me prosthetics and blood by 3m and I'll be happy!
