Diary of the Dead
2007
While filming a low-budget horror film, Jason (Joshua Close) and his film school friends hear news reports of zombie sightings. As the living dead close in on the film crew, Jason seizes the opportunity to add real blood and guts to his movie. Meanwhile the American government promises to stop the violent uprising, but the relentless zombies gain an advantage by wiping out all forms of communication with the outside world.

Pretty much your standard zombie movie fare, but enjoyable to watch. The filmmaker perspective is interesting. As with most horror movies, it has its fair share of plot holes.
Land of the Dead is still my favorite 'of the dead' movie - in terms of being unique and entertaining. Who can pass up a bad-ass truck and Dennis Hopper?
Not a big fan of the narration and yawn-worthy plot. This could have easily been the outtakes from a real zombie movie. Aside from a few special effects there is absolutely nothing new or interesting in this film
