Film: The Zombie Diaries
Director: Michael Bartlet, Kevin Gates
Reviewed by: Doc Zombie
I read all kinds of good stuff about this film before i got it. I read that there was gonna be hordes of zombies like on the cover. Well, don't let the poster above fool you (as a lot of these indie horror flicks do sometime). You won't see London burning while thousands of zombies come lurching out....This story actually takes place in the suburbs of London and follows three groups of survivors of a zombie plague.
This British indie film is one of those "modern" zombie flicks shot from a first person point of view, i.e. a documentarian or a news camera man. Surprisingly enough this film was in production around the same time Romero was doing Diary of the Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/
Anyway, for an indie film, this flick was awesome. It was believable and gruesome with a focus on the lives of the survivors. Definately worth your time. But, geez, as with most of these POV movies, i wanted to yell at the dude holding the camera! Geezus, put down that damn camera and fight! help! do something besides holding that dang camera!!! you freaking idiot!!
Anyway you'll see the camera get passed along from group to group in this film which is a nice touch....
My only grip was that the abrupt ending left me wanting more.....
