The Zombie Diaries (2006) (UK)
Category: Movies
Genre: Horror
I would constantly get migraines brought about by the camera’s rapid movement. On top of this inconvenience, character development also left much to be desired.
Originally proposed as a short film by neophyte filmmaker Michael Bartlett to Director Kevin Gates, The Zombie Diaries was eventually made into a non-linear feature length film using an ensemble of relatively unknown actors and an impressive make-up crew.
At the onset, The Zombie Diaries seems to pay homage to other horror films as Directors Gates and Bartlett take elements from celebrated cult classics such as “The Blair Witch Project” (filmed as a documentary using a hand-held video camera), “Night of the Living Dead” (Zombies inspired by Director George A. Romero’s interpretation of zombies), and “Shaun of the Dead” (a British themed zombie flick) in creating their fictional post-apocalyptic zombie infested rural England.
Overall, I found great difficulty in watching the Gates and Bartlett opus in a single sitting, as I would constantly get migraines brought about by the camera’s rapid movement. On top of this inconvenience, character development also left much to be desired.
