      Pity

      Can one DV really reveal the truth? The camera’s point of view is also that of the narrator. Does the narrator’s truth have to be completely true? (Can’t the video be faked or acted according to the script?)
        The cold recording of life is like the impression of an imbecile reporter visiting the families of the victims in the fire. Is it a problem or a topic?

      If I die, I will shoot it, and I will defend the public's right to know to the death.

      The zombie film of George A Romero, the father of modern horror films, had high expectations, but after watching it, I was disappointed, so I tried to balance my mentality. In

      short, the impression:
      the 2DV double-line lens is very artificial, and the lens is deliberately cut and lost. Documentary Movie Realism--Comparing Alfalfa field and death video, there are not many zombie scenes and no courage. When watching, I miss the 2004 version of
      Dawn of the Living Dead, whose...

      The originator, don't put an end to the zombie movie!

      George A. Romero ,
      known as the originator of zombie films
      , chose to make a comeback in 2008
      and caught up with the "DV trend".
      Unfortunately, CLOVERFIELD has stunned us.
      Unfortunately, REC has scared us.
      We have no special interest in "DV style",
      but this It 's not the only reason why this movie failed.

      First of all, it's too deliberate to catch up with this "DV trend"
      to create a "dead to shoot" male lead
      and crown it with a...

      say less

      I watched Birds last night ~ the same portable DV style as CLOVERFIELD, THE MONSTER, REC, it made me want to vomit-_-|| It seems that my cerebellum is underdeveloped?

      But the whole movie ended a little too quickly, without seeing the big scene of the corpse battle (perhaps to whet the appetite for the sequel?). For a zombie movie fanatic like me, the R-rated scenes are a bit less... It seems that it is not as good as THE COTTAGE I watched two days ago.

      A bit of a...

      Bystander off-screen

      Today I’m sharing with you George A. Romero’s zombie film series, "The Diary of the Dead", enmm, a pseudo documentary. This mode is quite familiar. Compared with the large shaking of the death video, the shooting hands are pretty good. Stable.

      The setting of the film is still the situation where people don't know what the zombies are. The resurrection of the dead, eating flesh and drinking blood, seems to be a news farce, but constantly reveals the taste of real events. The...

      Just like "The Walking Dead", the further the plot goes, the more zombies become a secondary issue. The contradiction between recording the truth and survival is more important, and the question of whether humans are uglier in front of zombies has instead become the theme of the...

    Movie plot

    When Jason Creed (Joshua Close) and a group of friends were shooting a horror movie in the forest, they heard news about the living dead who died and would live on the radio. They acted like zombies, and their numbers were rapidly expanding like a plague. Another director, Tony Ravello (Shawn Roberts) insisted that this is just the media making news, but most people feel that the coolness is coming from behind. After the timid male...

    Movie quotes

    • Newsreader: We've come here concerned about people crossing the border into our country. But that's not the problem anymore. The problem now is all those creatures crossing the border between life and death.

    • Stranger: What the hell's with that camera anyway?

      Jason: Uh, home movies.

      Stranger: Who's gonna be left to watch?

    • Tony Ravello: What's with you all? How come you stuck around?

      Stranger: 'Cause we got the power. For the first time in our lives, we got the power 'cause everybody else left. All the folks without suntans.

      Tony Ravello: They'll be back, right? The Army? The National Guard? Somebody's gotta put all this shit back together.

      Stranger: [laughing] The National Guard. Kid, I'm in the National Guard.
