The Angry Video Game Nerd said it best, "not everything your idol does is gold".

That is an understatement.

I am not sure if this movie was really needed. It goes back to the start of the zombie outbreak, and to me cannot really be considered a part of the first four films. It is more like a reboot. A very poor attempt to connect with the internet generation. It is also the first time in the series where the characters are not adults. They are either high school or college students. I am not really sure. But they are not really frightened of the zombie outbreak but are concerned with filming it, while making silly remarks in response to the danger.

The found footage gimmick does not really work as the footage is not found. It is filmed with the purpose of releasing it to the public. Which does not make sense as it is a global outbreak so people would be well aware of what was happening. I am sure that if the dead rise from their graves we will not be taking time out to watch a student film with narration to figure everything out. When the evening news lady gets eaten by a corpse on television, I think most people would go into panic mode and probably give social media a rest.

We had high hopes for this one as the concept was promising, but it just fell flat. Romero's obsession with the internet continued in Survival of the Dead where people were still online and posting youtube videos well after the world had collapsed. Not sure how it remained online but hey, it's only a movie.
