Diary Of The Dead (Actual review this time): Deusdaecon Reviews 

genius. It would explain why the "camera man" NEVER gets rid of the camera despite it being the smart thing to do and can easily be explained "during the panic he forgot to take/turn off the camera" versus "oh geez I got to record everything and be a nuisance because it's my journalistic duty"

I think it could work if they went full blooded documentary style. Where what we’re seeing is the zombie outbreak not specific survivors surviving the zombie outbreak. That way we could get found footage from many different people and it still makes sense. Your idea is also absolutely phenomenal! But I don’t think they had those when this movie originally came out.

@@MamaMOB Look, that's what I wanted for World War Z. The book's a series of interviews, right? So we shoulda gotten the interviews as a framing device and source of narration with cuts to 'footage later recovered from security cameras and personal recording devices' and 'events portrayed by actors' scenes filmed later in-universe like how we get with the History Channel.

Sounds like a realistic understanding of "hardcore Henry"

That's actually what happens in the second Rec film.

D.I.P. Dynamite In Piece.

Yeah. Shame he was the only decent character in the movie.

@@jenniferloving9054 he should get his own movie hell he's more interesting

@@ljones121 I'd love that

Samuel died twice, the voice actor passed away in 2017. 🙏

doesn't matter how old the video is I read all comments, I really appreciate your support

May he dynamite in piece

Well Rec 3 was kind of like that it started out as found footage then the camera is smashed and it becomes a regular film.

Sir, have you tried Diary of the Dead?

I think in the right circumstances it could be rather effective. For example: a movie with a monster (or monsters) that are invisible to the naked eye and can only be picked up on cameras. There are multiple points when the cameras are broken or lose power and it gets really intense when they can't see whatever's attacking them and they have to find ways to get the cameras working again.

@@blakeharris58 your question confuses me considering the video he commented on lol

@@wugglesx I wish I could remember why I said that. I think because Diary of the Dead does exactly what he says he wants.

Yeah, that music wasn't scary at all.

also that hospital was suspiciously clean for being infested with zombies, hardly any blood or bodies or damage or guts or zombies in it

He commited seppeku

I think Austin powers would disagree

Maybe the town was evacuated? Or the medical team moved like in fear

Her tits represent weapons of mass destruction. They are also a commentary on the Israel Palestine conflict (land MILK and honey).

what a pedigree the resident evil films had !, fuck wit fodder from the shittest Romero films.

yes

@@deusdeaconReviews I'd ask "How the fuck?" but I don't think Romero thought about how none of this film fits with the other ones.

"Was" is the appropriate word there, this film shows that quite frankly, that he was out of touch and didnt understand more modern trends in cinema, as shown he didnt understand how found footage worked, and how to adapt his honestly hamfisted political and social commentary for a more discerning modern audience.

@@deusdeaconReviews I say was because he died, but yeah, his later dead films should have never happened, I wish someone with a pocketbook would have gotten a clue and just helped him realize a better version of things. Very sad.

I remember seeing something like that involving the Amish (at least I think they were Amish), but it was an independent comedy satire called "Night of the Living Jews". Not sure if that counts.

Z nation did it

from what I remember (video is 4 years old) I didn't say anything about REC so I'm a bit confused by the question.

IAmTheUnison he can be a great director or meh

Call it the George Lucas syndrome.

I think in.this situation a crossbow would be better since you need to aim for the head. Plus it would work for stealth so you don't alert other zombies.

You'd think that but on top of the difficulty of use skulls are hard. Little test me and some friends did in highschool was get some rope and coconuts and see how hard it is to hit one thats moving a bit. Also how many the arrows can through before the shaft starts to crack and splinter. It seems beeter in theory.

Thats quite an excuse.

you saw this film, do you think he thought it through that much ?

@@deusdeaconReviews Unfortunately not.

appreciated by not necessary, because I wasn't criticising her technique i was using the term "judo" as a catch all comedic term for suddenly implemented martial arts

Deusdaecon Reviews absolutely I just have a weird sense of humor Love this movie review

Theres not being nitpicky and then theres not having standards, I normally wouldn't tell people what to like but jesus christ! a masterpiece ?! by any actual metric thats ludicrous also this is barely a found footage film, it has footage that is found yes but doesn't actually bother to use the medium in any meaningful way and resorts to regular film technique instead, if you think this is a masterpiece I wouldn't dare recommend a good found footage film just incase you spontaneously combusted.

@@deusdeaconReviews I've literally seen every found footage film that there is. Or that is at least readily available or known(hell I've even seen some shitty RU-vid made ones). I can guess what the recommendation would be, because it's always the same two movies from any fan of the genre. It sure as hell isn't going to be "The Tunnel" or "Cloverfield". I'm a big Romero fan. Myself and my family grew up in the same area he lived and worked. My mother was on site for the filming of "The Crazies". I've always been partial to his work,whether it's perceived as good or bad. I saw the film as soon as it was released. I think at the time the message was clear and relevant,if not very subtle. It still is. People still seek fame (or likes) under the guise of "telling a story" no matter the cost to themselves or others. Theres also some jabs at the mainstream media,and the way people are now with cameras and smart phones. I think that's the whole reason the "found footage" is even there. It's a plot device,and nothing more. I will definitely concede that,and the fact that it didn't try anything new. Maybe it's just personal taste,or because I saw it at the right time,but I stick by my statement. I wasn't exactly comparing it to Cannibal Holocaust or whatever. There's other films I would consider masterpieces that I know nobody would agree with, including The Crow,Battle Royale,Cloud Atlas,You're Next,etc. I really only watch horror with very few exceptions. I think the film is better than Land of the Dead,and better than Survival of the Dead (which people really enjoy,idk why). Anyways I'm a big fan of the channel,I appreciate the interaction,even if our opinions differ. You put a lot of work and heart in your content,I wish you the best.

Not gonna lie, it's up there as one of my favorite Romero movies as well. It's one of the only ones I own, being it and the original. Though that's mainly cause i don't actively look for them, and saw this in a bargain bin and remembered enjoying it. Though my opinion doesn't count for many things, as I enjoy a lot of "bad" movies, a lot of the time for the things that make them bad.

Well he was right about not being about to do that without looking like a douche

No, I'm coming at "Zombie Daddy Romero" so hard because I know he can do better.

We all do, He lived his life like a candle in the wind.

At least he had a blast before he died.

Same.

kind of, its mostly just a prequel to survival of the dead, because Alan van sprang plays the same character in both, and although he is in land of the dead, its very defiantly a different character as confirmed by Romero, (i may have gotten that bit wrong or right in the video its been years since I've re-watched it) also Romero said he wanted to do night of the living dead, but from a different perspective so it could also be called a mid-quel to that .

I would disagree with you there, day of the dead is one of my favourite zombie films, but this shite was beneath Romero, and instead he understanding what he was capable of he persisted with these film which were just an embarrassment for a horror icon, night dawn and day will be remembered forever, no one will want to remember this intellectually offensive crap.

Its not bad to not know something, It's only bad if you refuse to learn

Agreed, Its clear he just didn't understand the medium of found footage

@@deusdeaconReviews And this is coming from a guy who enjoys Land of the Dead. I maintain that LOTD while not perfect I found it to be a decent watch. I cannot say the same for Diary as it was crap from beginning to end.

Zombies are very cheap and easy to film and found footage is very cheap and easy to film so in my experience I've yet to see anything that comes close to a decent film and believe me I tried.

Deusdaecon Reviews ok, do you review tv shows? If so, please review Lost Tapes, a found footage show that focuses on cryptids ( creatures like Bigfoot and The Loch Ness Monster) and it even has a zombie episode

Theres a zombie section in VHS2 thats ok.

Bert Fechner yes , I know. That part was awesome

I get that romero made great films and if i was talking about those films I would talk about how great they are, but crap is crap romero's legacy is exactly why this shite got so much of a free pass from people in the first place, and i don't agree with that also i am so harsh on this film because romero should've known better this garbage was beneath him.

@@deusdeaconReviews can't disagree with that, the movie and alot of the content is shit. My only point was just that your comments on his pushing a closer look at the issues of the time were pointless. But of course he's pushing an agenda, it was kinda his deal like Ripley being a strong female lead, he just unfortunately started pandering which I won't deny. I just think his later decisions shouldn't reflect on his legacy... that which he's remembered for and which made his career. Also can't stress this enough, you're also a legend in your own right. Looking past any sort of fanboy nonsense and take a REAL look at the work. Much. MUCH. Respect.

Thank you, Nice to see someone without those rose tinted glasses.

It not about whether romero sucked, it was a case of him being a director of a certain time, because films and filming techniques moved on and improved and he didn't, this film proved that because he simply had no idea what makes a found footage film good.

Deusdaecon Reviews I see your point and agree.

You complain about me claiming what I say is fact, And yet you do the exact same thing, you like the film, fine I get that, but that doesn't mean you opinion has anymore weight then mine does, You'll find this film gets a pretty average 50% more or less across the board so its clear opinion is divided, also irony is not just doing the shit you make fun of, thats just being shit.

Deusdaecon Reviews Well irony is irony to me good or bad. But I will say ironically I did subcribe because I love your channel and your videos. I do come off as hypocritical and mean This movie is just a movie I enjoy and I am a huge zombie lover and I really meant no disrespect to you and I apologize but the skit you did with the gun in the review was funny xD btw. Nice job. I do apologize for my mean statement. I think your a pretty funny dude so you did earn a new subcriber.

That is objectively 100% not true.

i booed for both in the theater. if someone said hey lets watch land or diary, i would grab diary. their both tripe.

Well that boggles my mind, Because yeah they're both crap but diary is down right offensive to intelligence, the senses, and the medium of film as a whole.

i think land is way better than diary i think survival is the worst out of them all. i didnt know diary came out in the theaters? i live in new york by the way lol

i see Dennis Hopper and it just makes me sad...he could have saved land just by being in it. but no. ... in the end i am tempted to destroy / remove land and diary from my collection, i will never watch either again, and no one will ever stop by and say "hey . . lets watch land or diary". i think the real question is, if i force myself to watch Knightriders (1981) repeatedly, will it make me forget land and diary? of note: i just recently sat through a viewing of, survival, i hate that too. i can honestly say, land, diary, and survival, exist only to insult my movie going intelligence.
