Diary of the Dead Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
It's clever, or at least clever enough to keep you going and interested from start to finish. It just isn't scary.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
It's one of the least scary films that [Romero's] made -- but still entertaining, and very, very gory.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It seems sacrilegious to dismiss a zombie movie by Romero, who's been blending horror and satire since 1968's Night of the Living Dead. But his latest approach feels uncomfortably behind the curve.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
This time out, [Romero's] heavy-handed intellectual concerns get in the way of a perfectly good fright flick.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A movie in which victims wander as aimlessly as their undead stalkers.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's rough around the edges, dirty in the middle, and stained through with a sort of nihilistic humanism that ultimately unsettles more than the lurching undead themselves.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
The movie suffers from the same malaise Romero diagnoses in society. It's just too mediated to be scary, despite its zeal for gore. You can't feel the characters' fear, and they don't seem to feel it either.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
We want to high-five Romero for finding new ways to off his lifeless marauders.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Hardly top-drawer Romero. In fact, it may be his worst zombie film yet. But even bad Romero is a far sight more interesting than the coolly sadistic guts-porn that currently passes for mainstream horror.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
The times have changed, but [Romero's] unflinching portrait of humanityâ(TM)s innately self-destructive tendencies hasnâ(TM)t frayed a bit.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Diary of the Dead works much better as a horror film than as social commentary. Which is no shortcoming - a good scare is a good scare, no matter what the medium in which it's delivered.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
You may not believe in zombies, but the unnamed dread in the air of Diary of the Dead is recognizably believable, because we live with it now.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Romero may have something to say, but if he's going to be saying it like this the only zombies he's going to find are the ones past out in the theater from disappointed disgust.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Full zombie satisfaction.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
The message is muddled, but the zombie master still knows how to make a gripping, graphic, grossly funny horror flick.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The way Diary of the Dead chooses to deliver its gore, you know you're in the hands of a grown-up uninterested in the excesses of the Saw or Hostel pictures.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Moderately scary, moderately amusing, intermittently dull and obvious, Diary of the Dead is not groundbreaking, nor even ground-quaking.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This one belongs with the leaders of the scare pack. Isn't it time that we give Romero his due? It's hardly an accident that Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Simon Pegg and Wes Craven recognize Romero as a master. He is.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Though the premise requires a fair amount of indulgence, it also allows Romero to recapture the indie spirit of his landmark debut.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Ultimately, the unanswered --- and possibly unconsidered --- question is if Romero is lambasting the exploitation of death, how does that reconcile with his entire career?
