George A. Romero’s Diary Of The Dead: Extreme FanCut

Istvan6 feb 11 2010

This was a wild mix of zombie movie footage thrown together. The sources did not mix well for me. There were lots of contradictions about what was said and what happened on the screen. The breaks all the time were very annoying. parts were edited like a movie, parts were news reports from all over the world, parts were just documentary. Some zombies in the news could run, but what the students shot, they were all Romero zombies: slow. This did not at all improve on the original Diary Of The Dead, which I thought was not so bad. Sure, it had its weak parts and some bad acting, but unlike this bad attempt, it felt like ONE movie and I could enjoy it.
Since the rule here is to leave a statement for a bad rating, I am doing this hereby, even though I do not intend to offend Mollo, whose former works I have enjoyed a lot (especially Killer Horizon). It’s only my point of view that this one did not work for me at all.
