The Worst Film Ever

i must have seen a different film!!

Fantastic!

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The opening scene is ridiculous. It literally follows the "idiot going outside to investigate a noise" cliché that was ridiculed in the movie Scream. The idiot of course leaves the door open. Zombie enters. Kills family. Stupid.The character in that scene, nay, the screenwriters of this t.u.r.d. need to win darwin awards. This movie is so stupid. It's actually dumber than the first one, the zombie diaries. Both are awful examples of found footage films, well videos not films.Do not waste your time. This film, and the original movie, both suck.

THE ZOMBIE DIARIES is probably the worst shot-on-video zombie movie out there, and there are plenty to choose from. So why they bothered making a sequel to that nonsense I have no idea. WORLD OF THE DEAD offers up more of the same, i.e. a semi-talented team of amateur film-makers shooting a non-existent storyline out in the countryside, replete with poor script and indifferent performances. It pains me to report that these films are British.The basic plotting involves a squad of soldiers battling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. They have frequent encounters with zombies, who probably the least-frightening versions of the undead you'll have seen since one of those old 1930s films. It doesn't help that the actors playing the undead are singularly poor, you'd have thought it wouldn't be that difficult to play a zombie.Unfortunately, the main thrust of the storyline isn't about the walking dead, but rather a gang of vicious rapists who go around abusing and then killing women. There are a lot of protracted rape and misogynistic scenes in this film, which makes it a gruelling and unpleasant viewing experience, and about the opposite of what I'd call entertainment. It's a piece of trash, nothing more.

World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2 just barely surpasses its predecessor, mainly because of the fact that it recognizes that more than walking around and verbally droning about the possibility of other lands being overtaken by zombies is not substantial enough for a feature film. Directors Kevin Gates and Michael Bartlett actually thrown some plot-progression and some events into the sequel to their Dimension Extreme-distributed film to provide for not only some much-needed life in an undead environment but, thankfully, something to reminds us why we're still watching.The horror genre is at such a treacherous time in its life, where studios have realized the go-to for quick cash comes in the form of remakes, sequels, or the constant ubiquity of ideas such as exorcism and the "found footage" method of filming that true fans must not simply "take what they can get" but look under rocks for films of the genre that will satisfy their needs effectively. The Zombie Diaries unfortunately failed to do that, and looking at World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2, it doesn't improve on too much worth noting. However, it takes considerable risks at being more than a throwaway release and dares to at least be occasionally vile and inexplicable which, at this point in the "franchise's" life, is kind of relieving that, unlike its main focus, is still alive and breathing.This time around, the film takes place about three months after the viral outbreak in the first movie began, and has since wiped out almost all of the world's population, leaving its victims as mindless, literal zombies feeding off the reminisce of the human race. One of the largest surviving groups comes in the form of experienced, well-trained soldiers, whom have taken refuge at a military base in the rural lands of Europe. After months of not coming in contact with any survivors other than themselves and spending most of their time warding off persistent zombies, the base receives communication from another, coastal military base that informs of safety and refuge in a nicer part of Europe. Thank goodness because, in a rather unbelievable chain of events, somebody left the gate to the military base wide open and allowed it to be flooded with the undead, so the soldiers need to make a run for it. The film follows the tight-knit group of fighters as they cross Europe's snowy terrain in hopes of starting a new city or state in what looks to be a promising place of comfort and, at the very least, reliable solace from the undead.The film plays like we're watching video of people playing a game of paintball or laser-tag using large areas of land as their massive playgrounds. The most exciting footage is when we see the gang of soldiers stealthily maneuvering through uncertain land and attempting to avoid potential run-ins with zombies. On top of that, writer/co-director Gates fuels the film with some much-needed elements of excitement and peril, such as scenes of gang-rape, scenes of extreme violence, and Holocaust undertones. It's not that we are particularly gleeful that the characters now have the possibility of being raped in their minds, but it's the idea that something is finally occurring in this previously dead-on-arrival franchise that makes the film quietly remarkable.However, the problems with The Zombie Diaries still exist in its sequel, which are the frequently agitating lack of steadiness in the camera, the occasionally bothersome and frequently interchangeable characters, and the fact that some scenes are way too poorly lit, even if the motive behind the film is to evoke suspense and fear. World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2 is far from a good sequel, but as an improvement on its heavily-flawed predecessor, it does rise from the ashes in some regards to create at least a more watchable film than the first which, the more I think about it, should be the tagline for every sequel to a mediocre or downright awful film.Starring: Philip Brodie, Alix Wilton Regan, Rob Oldfield, and Vicky Araico. Directed by: Kevin Gates and Michael Bartlett.

I am a big fan of the genre, however this was a terrible effort. A sequel to a narrowly passable film. Full of poor acting, plot holes and is hard to watch physically and mentally. Shot in night vision for some part (very poorly shot) made the first half and the ending part hard to watch. A group of poor acted thugs, depicting disturbing scenes of rape and murder, this is zombie horror, somehow it begins to border on being a disturbing snuff film. Also the original idea is the hand-held camera is on too keep track of the post apocalyptic world, when under heavy zombie attack, murderous gangs and other peril i doubt there would be a semi steady handed guy filming.
