Well, no one, except everybody on the planet who’s trying to escape the millions of zombies that are suddenly camped out in their front yards! This is one tough broad! Even after all she goes through in the movie, losing most of the people she ever loved, facing a world where man’s hopes dim with every bite, and ending up in fortified panic room with an alcoholic college professor who is freaking Rambo with a bow and arrow, this chick still finds time to cut and score a really professional film! That’s something for your old lady to keep in mind the next time she gives you lip about getting you another beer from the fridge!īut if the army of flesh-eating rotters is growing with every minute why is this Jason guy carting around a big ass camera and bothering his friends with stupid questions while they’re trying not to have their guts ripped out? Wouldn’t he better off if he ditched the camera for a M16? His girlfriend is the one who edited all the footage from a couple of cameras and even added music to it for us! We are told from the beginning that what we are seeing is Jason Creed’s movie called The Death of Death which is his chronicle of the zombie attacks. ![]() Infinitely slicker than The Blair Witch Project and not nearly as headache-inducing as Cloverfield, Diary Of The Dead straddles a fine line between being a compelling first person account of the living dead returning to life and just being a pointless gimmick that doesn’t even make sense within the story itself.

Note to self: in the future, make sure to regularly maintain said beat up RV so we don’t have to rely on a deaf Amish guy to help us fend off an army of the living dead. Considering what a bunch of unsupportive jerks my “friends” were during the filming of my own movie, I can’t say that I’m terribly upset that they keep getting picked off one by one as we drive a beat up RV to various Canadian locales disguised as Pennsylvania. Dear Diary: Woke up, went out to the woods to shoot my horror movie, and got caught up in a zombie invasion. ![]()
