No, you are not the only one who loved this film. Dont worry about the fools who start typing 'Worst movie ever!' at the beginning of a film and then press enter right before the end credits. These people have no appreciation of what it takes to make a movie and have their smug little checklist of perfection filled out before they even give a film a go. Everyone has an opinion and nobody's opinion is 'right' or it wouldnt be an opinion, it would be simply a fact. We all have things that we draw the line at. For some, its the modern running zombies, for others, its the use of hand held camera. For me, it was the ceiling-climbing zombies in the remake of Day of the Dead: in fact, thats probably what I would consider to be one of the very worst zombie films ever. But even then, theres still something positive to say if you arent a rigid thinking juvenile. The makeup in the Day remake was good, for example. I can see that, but the movie as a whole was hard for me to like in the least. So, let's be a little more open minded, shall we? Any idiot can sit back and make exaggerated remarks that contain no substance whatsoever, but we CAN like something despite it having what we personally perceive as flaws. For the record, I am a life long fan of horror and especially zombies & I enjoyed the slow walkers of Romero, the runners of the Dawn remake, the bio zombies of Resident evil, the manic corpses of reanimator,the decayed zombies of Bianchi and fulci, and the infected people in 28 days/weeks and Rec/quarantine. It IS possible to like a variety of perspectives, that is, if your ego will allow it.
But hey, you gotta love George!

Hi there, Im sorry to say that I don't remember you spectre, but I must have made an impact on you for you to remember me, so thanks! What a compliment!
It's always good to see someone who has so little else to do but to come to a thread which was obviously intended for fans to say how much they love the movie, and then trash it. I think you have proven yourself the exception to the troll-army though,as you obviously know what you are talking about. I mean, you really have a way with words, made obvious by your 5 time use of the hugely insightful word 'crap' and then you blew us all away with 'cinematography'- that's 6 syllables! I'm so proud of you!
To cap it all, you guessed correctly that my name is Lucy! You said that you remembered me but maybe you are a stalker as well, hmmm? If you really are that impressed with me, we should go on a date to see 'Diary of the Dead'!!!!I'm also impressed that you admit that you have a massive ego, that's the first big step to improving yourself.Well done! Unfortunately, that massive ego means that you simply won't be able to stop yourself from responding to this message, so that's our loss. But, maybe you will surprise us with silence, fingers crossed!!!
Back on the topic of 'Diary of the Dead' though, I loved the pool scene and wish that we had seen more of it. Creepy stuff!

Thats a good point Spectre. I thought that too. What I meant by my comment was that I thought the underwater zombies looked cool and was a creepy effect, but it was kinda annoying when they suddenly worked out how to escape JUST in time for the main attack. I actually dont feel that the zombies could EVER get out of there, unless there were stairs. I think from memory that they climbed up the side or up a ladder, both of which seem unlikely.I could be wrong. I thought this movie was great, but by no means am I saying that it is flawless by any stretch of the imagination. :-)
