Dear diary...the dead are back, 9 September 2007
10/10
Author: dre from Canada

I just got back from the world premiere of Diary Of the Dead at the TIFF and all I have to say is that it was Fantastic!!!

I truly believe he made this film the way he wanted it, with no big headed Hollywood studio types to interfere with his vision.

Everything from the filming, phenomenal cast, soundtrack, and yes fellow horror fans the gore. It isn't an over the top gore fest but there are appropriate amounts and interesting kill scenes.

Follow this recipe

Ingredients: Throw in bits of social satire of a world gone or going wrong right now, a brilliant cast and crew, top notch attention to detail and mix with equal part zombies and what you have is a complete George A Romero feast.

Best thing about the above recipe is that it will never spoil as I will not spoil with any details of the storyline....just go see it if you get a chance to.
