    That's another one for the (pseudo-docu horror) fire.
    It starts off slow yet strong but when night approaches the camera get shakier and the light sources suck (a weak flashlight or the "night vision" mode) which makes for annoying confusion.

    Oh well, at least the cute one su...( read more)rvives this time.

    A completely handheld zombie movie that I like. How often does someone who so much hates the handheld horror style and is so critical of anything zombie movie remotely like a movie done this way? Not since "Diary of the Dead". [REC] did NOT meet my standards by any means. I might...( read more) get accused of bias towards slow zombies and non-linear storytelling, but both of those things, done right, makes for a better film than a decent linear verite with fast zombies. Leave full real-time verite for serial killer movies, and fast zombies for cheap-o apocalyptic scifi thrillers or horror genre parodies.

    There are cooler zombie shots in this than in "Diary of the Dead". Obviously the closeups of Diary were better, but the hordes in this scare and shock like the original "Night". This movie has one of the best nightshot scenes in horror film (when the farm-camp becomes unraveled), definitely the best indie work I've seen (yeah, I like the angle and orchestration **way** better than the ending of "Blair Witch").
    For zombie lovers, a must see that captures the strangeness and insanity of surviving in a zombie world. Don't know why they're re-making [REC] into Quarantine instead of just putting this movie, as is, out in American theatres ('tis a British film).

    Well, I rented this before and never got around to watch it. Got it as a freebie again and finally took the time. Overall it was ok, nothing mind blowing and actually kinda slow. This kinda movie has been done way to much lately and there have been better. This did remind me of B...( read more)lar Witch a little, and as much I don't wanna admit it Blair Witch was way better. The premise was a good idea but the overall excution was lame to say the least. It had a lot of potential...

    An interesting premise doesn't inherently transform into a compelling film. While the way it treats its subject may be more realistic than most, it also takes some of the enjoyment out of it. It made me want to watch Cloverfield again, an example of how to do this sort of thing...( read more) right.

    This cross between "Blair Witch" and "28 Days Later".

    While I did feel that most of the story(s) were sort of "re-hashed" versions of tales previously told...they were told here in a very interesting way.

    For what it is (a low budget horror film), it was pretty damned good.

    This was an interesting low budget zombie feature, which used the camera work of movies like Blair Witch & Rec. It's got a few great scenes in it, and a couple of interesting ideas... Zombie sex slave & sick perverse serial killers... But the acting is blotchy to say the least & ...( read more)the different 'diary entries' were hit & miss. It was OK.

    not too bad. humans are still sick and disgusting.
  • September 2, 2009
    The Zombie Diaries was a decent movie,it was done quite realistic (lol as realistic as you can be with zombies),nothing was over the top (again by zombie standards lol).
  • August 16, 2009
    I just watched this flick - it was called, The Zombie Diaries. It's basically your typical zombie flick...mysterious plague spreads all over the planet - people who die...come back as zombies. This movie's a cross between any zombie movie and Blair Witch Project. You know, the wh...( read more)ole running with the camera shit. Yeah, but in this one - it's like EVERYONE has a video camera - documenting the whole zombie attack.

    I have to admit it though...I was lost. Total lost.

    An interesting idea ruined by shaky camerawork and poor acting.

    Not Horror, Just HORRIBLE. An incredibly boring movie. A few people wander around the countryside filming themselves walking around. No gore. No tension. No excitment or danger. Nothing. What a waste of time this movie was.
