in the early part of the 21st century and an unknown virus begin spread amongst the populace . within week of the initial outbreak and the virus have engulf the entire planet represent from the small rural community to the great city . soon the earth be infest with a new threat the undead . three video diary explore the dystopian world that be leave behind chart the early day of the plague and through to the last day of the apocalypse . don not let the name fool you . the zombie diary be not really a zombie movie . basically and the zombie be keep in the background and do not really pose a threat throughout the whole movie . they show up every so ( not ) often and stumble around . that about it . the rest of the film be full of pointless dialogue and a terrible hostel like subplot that doesn not really make any sense and be totally unnecessary and have absolutely nothing to do with zombie . i like the hand hold camera idea but it not as well do a in the blair witch project or rec . i also like how all three video diary be connect with each other . but that all i like about the movie . the acting be awful . really and really bad . the writer make it impossible to care about any of the character because there be zero character development the character themselves could have be zombie and it wouldn not have make any difference . they still would have be mindless idiot . all in all and i be very disappointed with this movie and it do not deserve the good review it get . 4/10 . ( i be be generous . ) .
