Diary of the Dead

hooptober 12 #8don't try to speak. just shoot.george romero why would you cast yourself as racist police chief. this was fun but like if this wasn't romero it would almost be better. like i cannot help but compare this to his other movies and that's why it's impossible for this to not fall flat. dawn of the dead did not need someone doing voiceover the whole time and having characters constantly say "wow... we're in a zombie apocalypse... this is fucked up..." they just did it. i liked when they pulled straight audio from night of the living dead and i liked the amish guy. he was obviously dead meat but samuel... we will miss you dearly. he should have been the final girl. also this scares me so bad i'm shooting my thesis film next week WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS 💔💔💔💔💔 #PITTSBURGHMENTIONED

George A. Romero was ahead of his time with the commentary on performative media, but that's where my compliments start and end. The fact that people are more preoccupied with the documentation of the apocalypse and being a bystander to death is something I could see today if the apocalypse happened. I will give a half star for the found footage aspect because there are some genuine shots of massive empty spaces that worked for me.

The acting was horrendous. We do not spend enough time with the characters to truly care about their demise. The dialogue is corny and why do the Amish have bombs??? But not cars?? The 2000s versions of these are the downfall of Romero's zombie media for me. While I am still going to watch his last film, I am not as enthralled by them as his older movies when they had space to grow rather than pump out ideas at a crazy rate.

Romero, the things I do for you..

there’s a movie somewhere in here but the terrible acting and terrible dialogue do nothing to help it. Probably the scariest film so far, but it doesn’t matter cause scary doesn’t equal good. If anything as this series gets more scary it loses its soul.
