I can totally see why you guys think the movie is bad, but you've got to keep the film's shoestring budget and independent status in mind. The acting is bad, but I've seen much worse. The special effects are mediocre, but I've seen much worse. The story isn't all that enveloping, but once again I've seen much worse.
I think Diary Of The Dead is a shining example of what it's supposed to be, and for a cheap ass independent horror film I think it's pretty solid. I know it isn't Romero's best, but it isn't his worst either. IMO Diary Of The Dead accomplished what Romero set out to do, and after viewing the film several times I still think it's a solid movie overall. It's nothing great, but it's not completely forgettable. I think if Romero was able to make Diary Of The Dead with the budget he had for Land Of The Dead it would've been epic. We'll never know for sure, but my hat's off to George for releasing a movie that he had a good time directing. Good for him...
