Diary of The Dead

SO this is the new movie by George A. Romero the king of zombie movies. This movie should be gold. Should be. It sucked. Straight up sucked. I wouldn't tell anyone to see this movie. I watched it with my wife and best friend. All three of us love horror movies and in particular zombie movies. All three of us felt the same way about the movie. The dialogue was horrible almost as bad as the acting. The zombies were a fleeting thought in the movie. They rarely mad appearances and when they did it was only for a minute or two. Truly disappointing. I decided to buy it instead of renting it. I truly regret that and will sell it to a record store first chance I get. 

Bottom line: two thumbs down. You couldn't give me this movie.  

Just a little random note/thought, but has anyone notice that as of lately, scary movies just arent what they use to be no more?

I remember when i was younger movies use to have that eerie creepy JUMPING action of thrill shoot through my body, but now its just blood and guts? Not really thought out.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the heads up.

 I was kinda partial to the zombie fishbowl toward the end of the film..*giggle*

If love is the answer can someone please rephrase the question for me...

Thanks for the warning. I'll heed it. I'm not much a fan of horror stuff anymore, but I used to be. Seems they are relying too much on effects and not enough on content. Watching the Saw movies made me feel bad - and those were half decent stories.

Recent ones... I liked The Ring. I liked Blair Witch(I) because it was different. I like it when someone comes out with unique, well-done ghost stories.

Speaking of Romero, one of the first movie dates I took my future wife was at a drive-in in Owensboro and they were playing Dawn of the Dead. Late 70's? You know... the one where they are trapped in the shopping mall. It was good teenage drive-in fun!
