The Zombie Diaries (2006)
Directors: Michael Bartlett, Kevin Gates
Cast: Russell Jones, Craig Stovin, Jonnie Hurn
Brace yourself... This time it's for real.

The film compiles various video diaries, following groups of survivors in the aftermath of a bird flu like virus that has hit the UK. Causing the dead rise and kill. The undead arn't the only problem as some of the survivors are going mad, doing as they please and taking what they want by any means necessary.

I'm watching this direct to video low budget English zombie yarn pretty late, having passed on the chance of viewing it years earlier due to lack of interest, I'm only seeing it now due to recently receiving a sequel. Interesting idea having you follow multiple camera weilding groups, its just a shame the locations they use are all the same bland farmyards and their surounding areas. Instead of say more populated up built places like the supermarket in Dawn Of The Dead. Zombie Diaries just hasn't the same style or substance as the similiar found footage themed zombie film [rec] or Romero's Diary Of The Dead, that said I've seen far worse zombie movies in my life (its a busy sub-genre), it was just too dull for my tastes, so would have to say Zombie Diaries is only suitable for the more undemanding zombie fans.
