this review contain plot spoiler . the first sign that the zombie diary be go to suck . it a low budget horror flick film on a hand hold camera . i be not hat on movie film a if it footage from a hand hold camera . i love cloverfield and quarantine . but this movie turn out bad than diary of the dead and which be a pretty big achievement . the zombie diary be present a a sort of documentary like presentation at first . not that there anything wrong with that and but the fact it separate into three different account of the incident be a bit tedious . the first account and label a day one and be of a group of documentary maker . albeit not very convincing one . the actor portray them be abysmally awful and not one of them can act even a little . i be in no way overreact here and but their performance be actually cringe worthy . that be say the make up on the zombie isn not too bad and the scare aren not too cheap and i do surprised myself when i jump . day two group of people aren not much well . it two men and a woman this time and the actor be a bit well this time round and but not by much . there a bit more zombie action in this chapter and the make up on the zombie be still quite realistic . although both of the part end quite abruptly and they be explore far later on . the final group be a large one who have take refuge on a farm . much good actor this time around and the cameraman actually attempt to explain what happen to the audience and something that be sorely miss from the previous two wouldays . zombie action be high in this part and i can not help feeling that the zombie diary would have be much well if only this group story be tell . the film then go from group to group and conclude each story and eventually link them all together in admittedly quite a clever way . not that it save this film though and it a great idea which and contrary to popular belief and do not rip off diary of the dead a it be make before it . the film be bore though and to be perfectly honest and the good effect do not save it at all . avoid . rating represent ★★½ .
