Diary of the dead movie?

[toysrus]

Did anybody here see the new Romero movie " Diary of the Dead? Was it any good? How was it compared to the remake of Dawn of the dead?

Thanks

It hasn't hit any of the theaters near me. I've been keeping an eye out for it too..:googly:

A good zombie flick is always fun. :terror:

To me, the plot sounds like Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things.

I couldn't remember what the title was,
I knew it was SOMETHING of the Dead :crazy:

It will be a great movie to watch when I'm on nightshifts
at my empty station :terror:
Though the movie Creep sucked.

it already played here like 2 months ago i think,I missed it.But i heard it was ok.

I just saw the Day of the dead remake(just hit video stores),that kind of sucked,but worth watching atleast once

It's terrible, Romero tries to shove the social commentary down your throat in this one.

I'm getting the shakes just thinking about how awful it was.:yuk:

The bits I heard were that he tried to copy the whole Blair Witch, Cloverfield thing and didnt come close to pulling it off.

Man all of his zombie movies really pushed the social commentary thing. I cant imagine him pushing it more?:no:

I got a copy of the dvd. Looks good. I am going to watch it tonight. Looks like some kind of zombie version with a Blair Witch camera third party viewing effect to it.

I bought and watched it last night. I personally liked it but I am a huge Romero fan so I may be biased. It's certainly not his best film by a long shot but its still a Romero zombie film.
There were some new inovative ways of killing zombies that I thought was neat. The bonus features had some neat extras as well.
I will probably watch it again over the weekend.

There was one scene that had DOTD written all over it. Watch the film and post which scene you think I am reffering to....... :)

Good or bad, I hope he continues to make movies. I do worry though because he really doesnt look like he is in the best of health and apparently on set, he lives on coffee and cigs. which doesnt do anyone any good.

A few years ago when I met him at the FX show in Orlando, I asked him to PLEASE keep making movies and he replied " I will if I live long enough". I thought that was an ominous comment.

Anyway, I would suggest just watching it without having high expectations and it should be a fun ride.

cool,I'm renting it tonight :grin:

He could always come back as a Zombie...And finish all his movie ideas

The Afterlife of The Dead

Its funny you mention that because I plan on going to that show for the first time this year and what a first show it will be with that line up.

I am assuming you have been there before then? if so , What is the dealer section like? Is there lots of cool junk to buy?
