Diary of the Dead Spoiler Review
Diary of the Dead is another installment of the “Dead” movie series by George Romero (Night of the Living Dead). Let me being this review with a short narrative excerpt from this movie…
Jason - “It used to be us against us. Now, it’s us against them.”
Debra (narration) - “He was right, us against them. Except that they…. were us.”
…what the fuck? Didn’t she just say what he said. But, backwards. It seems that Mr. Romero attempted to get ‘deep’ in this latest of his zombie flicks. But, wow did he ever fucking fail. This movie was absolutely brutal. There were a couple parts in this movie where you can tell that they were trying to get all philosophical and shit; I found myself scratching my head after every one of those parts.
And it wasn’t just the storyline that sucked ass in this movie. The acting was disgusting. I mean, this is not at all different from the other movies, but, this was exceptionally bad. The horrible acting made the sad attempts at humor funny; but not in the way that they may have wanted. It also made the attempts at character development uninteresting and unbelievable.
Do yourselves a favor and do not see this movie. Beating yourselves over the head with a pot for an hour and a half would be more entertaining. It will also give you less of a headache.
