(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1   4.5/5 "sees the writer/director well and truly back from the dead and returning to his independent roots, with a small, character-based production that is intelligent, bleak, and at times jarringly funny."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 3/4 "HD seems to have reawakened in Romero a sense of mischief."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers C "Romero has never been Welles, but to sign off on this script and these performances demonstrates a disturbing lack of competence from the filmmaker, resulting in ham-fisted scenes of conflict and distress, some bathed in a sickening self-referential glaze"   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 "a full-blooded satire"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 2.5/4 "Romero has certainly peppered Diary of the Dead with a number of expectedly suspenseful and downright engrossing moments..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Playful but more thoughtful -- too obviously so -- than most other stalker slashers, 'Diary of the Dead' ratchets up its own punditry."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 1/4 "Never scary but frequently cartoonish in its sour humor, Diary of the Dead can't even figure out if it wants to be taken seriously or as a poor, unfunny spoof."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B "If Romero ever made use of a good script doctor, he'd have a combination of satire, scares, and gore that would be hard to beat. As it is, we have to settle for a rough-around-the-edges B movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Romero's film is ugly, but then reflections on society always are..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. D- "George Romero's zombie franchise has definitely run out of brains as well as steam."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/4 "An inspired work, rich with clever satire and sly satiric references to our current political landscape."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz B- "Romero...criticizes videojournalism, as well as its consumers, by arguing that there are times when, morally, it's time to stop shooting and start helping, to stop watching and start acting."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 7/10 "The urgency of the [first-person] perspective plus the general sense of hopelessness for humanity add up to a sense of despair."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3/4 "Some filmmakers do their best work when they don't have much money and their back is against the wall."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 72/100 "Through its clever advancements of the zombie genre and its consistently surprising series of set pieces, [it] earns the right to stand alongside anything that Romero has made."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 3/5 "endiaferon ston bathmo poy epizita to simeio kampsis tis ikanotitas mas na ksehorizoyme ti bia piso ap' tin othoni apo ti bia pantoy gyro mas, anti na prospathei na genikeysei tin dipsa gia ysterofimia poy empotizei stoys iroes toy"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "The most labyrinthine and multifaceted of Romero's Dead films."   House Next Door   Keith Uhlich B+ "One might think that another zombie movie from writer/director George A. Romero would be superfluous, a rehash of the many he has made since 1968's seminal Night of the Living Dead, but one would be wrong."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "A polarizing meditation on life and death in the infinitely mediated world of blogs, file sharing and incessant virtual connection."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "A fine concept executed with disappointing ends."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/5 "We get that this is supposed to be from the perspective of a film major, but did Romero have to make it so painfully authentic?"   Bronsonfive   Michael Ferraro B+ "[Succeeds] in large part thanks to Romero's expert, guerilla-style HD craftsmanship and his knack for repeatedly generating and sustaining tension."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 5/5 "As formally dazzling, thematically resonant and darkly funny as anything that Romero has ever done before and yes, there are even plenty of satisfyingly icky moments to behold as well."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski C+ "[Its] joys stand alone and isolated amid a well-intentioned film that never quite connects the dots."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 4.5/5 "So yeah, it's a zombie flick crossed with the visual approach of The Blair Witch Project. But it's also quite a bit more than that."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg B "The motivations of the citizens aren't necessarily altruistic, but that fits nicely with Romero's balance of pragmatism and ambiguity."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 7/10 "Even if it's the least brainy of Romero's zombie films, it might well be the scariest."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
