Diary of the dead or as it is called by the students who supposodly made this film "The death of death", the movie is essentially about a group of film students who are making a horror film in the woods when they hear the news that the dead are returning to life, they then turn their cameras to the real life horrors that they see before them.
Unlike "The blair witch project" or "Cloverfeild" the cameras in this movie are not very shaky, being that they are students the cameras most of the time stay still, and also it is treated more like a film rather than just old home video footage by the way that it is edited, like a student film, and whilst your watching in many places you begin to think it's real, or at last I did, Until I reminded myself that it's fake especially in some places when CGI is used.
Romero obviously was taking a look at the media and about how every different news channel or blogger on the internet has different veiws to the truth and that with every blogger and News channel there is potential lies and there is really no good veiw of the truth, which if anything is the message that this film might be trying to put out, but all I say is, beleive what the fuck you want.
So all in all this movie is a big leap from the Big budget celebrity packed Land of the dead and back to good old fasioned indy film making, it's very well written, very well acted and well........ very good every thing to be honest with you and to what I have seen of the documentary style filming so far this is by far the best.
