The Worst Film Ever

Admirable film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

With the world ravaged by a deadly virus, a group of filmmakers out in the British countryside doing a story on the events finds a small group of survivors and join up in order to stay alive but soon find a far more dangerous threat than the zombies may be among them.Overall this one wasn't that great of an effort but does have some positives. One of the film's main issues is the fact that there's just so few zombie attacks throughout here that it really drags and lets itself go into spells of extremely bland and dull moments for way too much of the running time. The fact that this one takes a while to get to the village for the first attack is a real shame, and with the seemingly endless wandering around in the car or getting instructions for their trip that it really tends to go from extremes bouncing around in the plot. Likewise, that gets enhanced later on with the constant jumping around in terms of the timeline that this supposedly covers with it never really making any kind of sense what's going on with the film going on through weeks or months at a time before there's anything of note involving them encountering the creatures as the preference on defense and avoidance gives this one the feeling of pure aimlessness as it doesn't really follow through any kind of set patterns in what's going on as it just goes from one piece to another without really doing much of any kind of connection around these events. That also goes hand-in-in-hand with the film's biggest flaw which is the utterly deplorable and inexcusably bad found-footage angle here which just looks completely amateurish and just dreadful here with this one filling in just about every single negative factor hurled at the genre in one place. The jerkiness of the camera is non-stop making this one such a struggle to even make out what's happening in the regular scenes but the action scenes are truly a lost cause in here not only being so haphazardly jerking around in the way they're shot as to be headache-inducing but are oftentimes out-of-focus so nothing is effectively captured or shown, the tracking on the camera makes the picture blurry or not even comprehensible at times and there's nothing more infuriating about this one than being in the middle of a zombie attack that's been edited into indecipherability by the inabilities placed into the finished film by its chosen method of production. As well, the concepts' other underlying flaw in this one being filled with scenes that shouldn't be filmed as trying to preserve a camera at that time instead of themselves really undermines a lot of what's happening here, and these here are what really hold this one down considerably. The fact that the zombies are considered threats and have plenty of continuous action scenes here requiring lots of action to put them down is a big deal of compensation, as there's a lot to like that way with the lumbering creatures closing in on them in some decent action scenes. The quantity is enough to raise it, but not enough to overcome the flaws.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

This did the one thing I never forgive a movie for doing: it bored me. Slow, bad acting and a complete waste of time. I don't know why this was even released and what the writer, director and producers were thinking. Did they watch it before they released it? And if they did, what about this crap-fest made them think it was ready to be released? Heck, I love bad movies but not this one. I can't even say it's so bad it's good - it's just bad.The only good reviews on here must be cast and crew members and perhaps their friends and family. Oh... And I see they made a sequel. Well, cased on this crappy movie, I know I won't watch it.

I can't give this a negative score, because the opening - the faux news parts - actually scared me. That's not something that happens too often. Unfortunately, thats it for scary parts, as groups of people are introduced, usually without us knowing much about them. The first character set genuinely seemed to be overwhelmed and trying to understand what was going on. The other character sets made zero impression. Oddly enough, sometimes the cameraman inexplicably filmed stuff that was helpful to the film audience, yet remained illogical in-universe. At one point group split up. On seeing the others again, the cameraman starts filming because... er, the film audience needed to be informed about the discovery they made. SPOILER TERRITORY: I can't give the film a positive, because a tacked-on ending segment - which is shown out of chronological order, inexplicably - tries being "edgy" and pushes boundaries that haven't existed since the seventies. Yeah, humans can be horrible, can't they? Newsflash: people have already portrayed rape during films. They did it decades ago, actually. You're not taking risks, you're just being tasteless.

I am a great fan of zombies' films and I usually like most of them. Unfortunately, "The Zombies Diaries" is another garbage made with hand- held camera.The film is divided in three chapters and the first one (Diary 1 – The Outbreak) is promising. When a virus originating from Asia threatens England, four Londoners independent journalists make a documentary. When they drive to the countryside to interview Mr. West that owns a farm, there is an outbreak in London and they discover that they are under siege of zombies. The story is interrupted and jumps to Diary 2 – The Scavengers and Diary 3 – The Survivors, with people searching supplies and shooting zombies to survive. None of the segments has conclusion and they are boring and confused. The worst is that it is filmed with hand held camera. This film has just been released in Brazil on DVD and my suggestion is if you want to see a zombie film, see "The Night of the Living Dead" or any other film that will be better than watching this terrible film. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Zumbis – Os Mensageiros do Apocalipse" ("Zombies – The Messengers of the Apocalypse")
