  Diary of the Dud.
  
  Awful. Even in a genre where paper thin plots and mediocre acting is the norm, this still gets it all wrong. I love zombie movies, but I thought this was poor. ... read more »

  Appalling film!
  
  This review has been removed by the reviewer because the film is so dire it doesn't deserve the depth of detail this review once had.

  School Production
  
  Don't know what to say really. Some really bad acting throughout. It felt more like a school production than a real film.

  Truly bad!
