Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Blistering performances.

I have watched almost every horror movie of all time and plenty of found footage movies too. And I can safely say this is one of the worst of both genres. I usually am not very harsh on horror movies and found footage films but this one is executed so bad it is unbelievable. Lets talk about the weaknesses of the movie. 1. Acting: Worst acting performances I have ever scene in a horror movie. Even zero budget indi horror movies have better acting. A one particular scene features an extra giving the worst ever acting performance as a zombie of all zombie movies ever made. It is even worse than a scene in "Shaun of the Dead" where some characters, very poorly, pretend to be zombies, for comic effect. I am not exaggerating. I am sure, some of the actors just simply gave up after reading the script and dialogues.2. Dialogues: Oh my God, this movie literally has the worst dialogues I have heard in any movie, TV series or any other media. Not only are dialogues bad and cringe worthy but they are also very weird and meaningless. Characters are saying things that don't even make any sense at all. Very often, things being spoken don't even have anything to do with the situation.3. Characters: As I previously said, I have watched almost every horror movie ever made and even by horror movie standards the characters in the movie are most stupid of all. They, coupled with highly nonsensical dialogues, are so bad, they remind you of A.I. video game characters from early 2000s games. Trust me, they are that bad, I am again not exaggerating, just watch a scene where a female character is being chased by a zombie in the woods. Her whole behavior is what you would expect from a AI character in a video game. Not a single likable character.4. Story: Was there any? Read the synopsis on IMDb, thats all the story there is, nothing else, not even an ending.5. Cinematography: It was very bad. Even for found footage movies standard, it was very very bad. Not too shaky or any thing, just bad. A found footage movie is supposed to look amateur but this one looked like they were trying to shoot it to look like amateur by not shooting it like an amateur.If you want to watch a horror movie, skip this one. If you want to watch a found footage movie, skip this one. If you want to watch a zombie film, skip this one. Now lets talk about strong points of the movie:NONE.Watch this only when teaching someone, how not to make a horror/ found footage/ zombie movie and also to show how not to write script/ dialogue/ characters.

I don't understand why this movie enjoys such a vast following with cameos from the greats of horror. This movie was so poorly acted. We made fun of it the entire time thinking it would eventually get better.The pace of the movie is slow. Not in a "slow burn" way, just in a way where we spent the whole time wondering if it was a joke. The main character, Deborah, was either written so poorly as to be completely unconvincing, or just acted terribly. We expect a lot from our zombie films, especially from someone as prestigious as Mr. Romero, but this was just so upsettingly bad. The very end of the film has the best moment in it, and I won't describe it so it doesn't ruin anything for someone who might still want to give this one a go, but it is too little too late. In my opinion it's not a good use of your time.

I liked this one quite a bit, more than I thought I would actually as I'd been expecting a fairly low budget/cheesefest of a movie. If you don't analyze anything too much this ends up being a fun ride though; following a group of collage film students who are shooting their own low budget horror film and inadvertently begin documenting the early days of a zombie apocalypse. It becomes a bit of a road trip movie with ravenous walking corpses at every stop and filmmaker "Jason" documenting first-person style the horrors they witness in an obsessive and unflinching manner. Even as his friends die he keeps filming.The story is decent as are the special effects, I mean this ain't' no 'Walking Dead' and it is very much a B movie but the zombie kills are fun and unique; the melting head covered in acid comes to mind and the opening scene at the hospital is also really good.Horror king George A Romero definitely has a style and as writer-director here, if you're a fan of the genre this is worth checking out. 10.13

A group of college students from the University of Pittsburgh are filming a horror movie in the forest when they hear of an actual zombie epidemic on the radio. So, instead of a horror film for class credit, the main cameraman, "Jason Creed" (Joshua Close) decides to record a documentary for human posterity. Granted, this is not the best zombie movie George A. Romero has ever directed. The acting was uneven and the pace was rather slow throughout the movie. Likewise, the ending was also disappointing for a couple of reasons. First, the story was told by "Debra Moynihan" (Michelle Morgan) in the past tense which tended to take away some of the surprise value. Second, the decision to eliminate one of the characters by having her simply drive off could also have been handled better. It almost seemed like they were short on film and had to end the movie as soon as possible. Even so, I will take an average zombie movie like this one by Romero over some of the current low-budget zombie films on the market any day.
