Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Cortechba Overrated

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

RevRonster Also called "KFZ: Kentucky Fried Zombies," "Die-ner" is probably one of the worst films I've ever seen.The script was probably written in crayon and, I'm theorizing, the entire film was made to just try and milk some money out of zombie and horror fans because absolutely no effort was put into this film. Sure, one could argue that a lack of a budget was to blame (clearly this movie was made for about 10 dollars and change) but, after sitting through it, I would argue the entire film was made just to try and make some cash off of people seeing the halfway decent box art on the DVD and decided to spend the 5 bucks it will put them back after they pull it from the bargain bin.There's not much of a story to speak of (and the plot clearly forgotten about) and, not surprisingly, the acting is terrible--unless you're talking about the main character, the annoying serial killer who tries (and fails) to be charismatically cool. However, the actor is a tremendous source of amusement as it is obvious he thinks he's the greatest actor to ever live despite looking like he moonlights as a Bud Bundy impersonator.The zombies in this film were lazily created, the camera work is painful to endure and look at, there's no horror or comedy to speak of in this poorly defined dark comedy (it's just insulting to even attempt to classify this one as such) and the entire movie is just a gigantic waste of time and it's only real purpose seems to be as a reminder of all the things you could be doing that would actually end with something productive and a better use of your time.This movie is lazy filmmaking at its more obvious.

Uriah43 A serial killer named "Ken" (Joshua Grote) walks into a diner during the late-night shift and kills three people. When two more people, "Kathy" (Liesel Kopp) and "Rob" (Parker Quinn) also come into the diner he decides to kill them as well. But before he can do that a policeman by the name of "Duke" (Larry Purtell) just happens to come in too. So while he is pretending to be a new waiter, all of a sudden the people he killed (and hid away) come back to life as zombies. At this point the film begins to get strange. Anyway, I thought Joshua Grote did a decent job as far as that goes. But the plot appeared to drift rather aimlessly and the film just seemed to lack cohesion. For example, when the zombies were first encountered it seemed that Ken, Kathy and Rob were more surprised than shocked or terrified. Likewise, the zombies should have been more frightening. Anway, when I first decided to watch this movie I thought it was a zombie-comedy. But the humor wasn't well-developed in my opinion. So what was left was a comedy without much humor and a horror film without much horror. In short, I would recommend this to zombie enthusiasts only--as they're probably the only ones who might find this remotely interesting.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all, I don't understand how this movie can end up with "KFZ - Kentucky Fried Zombie" on the movie cover. It just doesn't make sense, and is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.I enjoy zombie movies tremendously, and tend to sit down and watch just about anything even remotely zombie. And it is extremely rare that I have to give up on a zombie movie. Unfortunately I had to give up on "Die-ner (Get It?)". Why? Well because of the horrible acting, and the even worse make-up and effects. The zombies in this movie were so bad that I was laughing most of the time. You just got to love the "let's paint their faces gray, but forget about the neck and the rest of the body" mindset. It is just so 70's and 80's, and it doesn't work in this day and age.The story in "Die-ner (Get It?)", well as far as I got into the movie, then it is about a loner coming into a late open diner and having a conversation with a waitress. But he turns out to be a killer and does what he does best. More late night visitor come to the diner. But those killed just will not stay dead, but come back as zombies.Zombies? Well, gray face-painted shambling corpses! I am certain that there is an audience out there for these kind of low budget zombie movies. I, however, am just not part of that audience. And I am more than certain that I will never make a second trip back to this movie to finish it. I made it about halfway through and gave up out of sheer boredom and stupidity radiating from the screen.Yawn!

Paul Celano (chelano) First I want to point out the only actor I enjoyed 100%. That was Joshua Grote. Now the rest of the cast was pretty good at their parts. Not all the zombies though, some of the zombies were pretty bad. This film has a lot of dialog in it and Grote is speaking most of it. His character is not all there in the head and he did a great job of acting that way. I enjoyed watching him talk. But too much talking in the film lead to being a little bored. There was a couple gore scenes, but no real excitement. The scare factor was low too. Also there was some things that they touched base on in the film that were never resolved. One important thing had to do with Grote's character and I wish they would of resolved it. But overall it was a fun movie to watch. But it had just as many good moments as bad ones.
