Ask yourself a question...
If someone went out for the day, say to the countryside, took a camcorder with them and videoed everyday mundane things (wobbly views of cars, houses, fields, trees and the like), would you want to watch all 80 minutes of it? If the answer is 'NO' then whatever you do, make sure you NEVER watch 'The Zombie Diaries' because basically that's all it is. And don't be fooled into thinking that because it's a film cool and exciting things have to happen, because they most definitely do not. It's just a few people with a camcorder and nothing really happens.
You could make this film yourself in 2 hours.
Seriously, you could.
I'm not joking.
Honest.

What can I say about this? Nothing about it is inherently bad (well okay, most of the acting is, but aside from that very obvious fact); it's mostly just a very plodding even boring film of often silly, predictable nothingness. You have your standard stereotypes everywhere, but none of the characters are in any way likable, which in itself doesn't necessarily cause me a problem and maybe this is just the type of film where no one needs to be liked, but either way. It even fails to explore the nature of a cult more deeply (or even at all), which was a wasted opportunity.
One last thing, I've seen a few mentions of this being realistic. My a**e is it realistic! People seem to think that if a film's made on a low budget with no special effects and bad acting that it's realistic. Please stop mistaking hard to watch with realism.

I think you'll find they misspelled the title of this movie. Only a few letters out, but it should've been BOREDOM, because that suits it down to the ground.
It did start off with a nice dark tone, but never went anywhere and budget restrictions can hardly be blamed because there's no problem with the look of the film, it's simply the screenplay that's lacking.
That's about it really, barely worth even a rental as you're not missing anything.
P.S. I'm sure that by now most people are aware that IMDb reviews are a breeding ground for hype from the people involved in the film itself, if not then beware of all the high ratings/reviews a lesser known film receives, especially early on when the film's newly/barely even been released. You have been warned!
