The Zombie Diaries *spoilers*

I love zombie movies. Some of them are nothing more than gore-fests, but most of them have a purpose - to show us how dark humanity can be. In the zombie apocalypse - which is the natural outcome of a disease like this - it is the actions of the survivors that typically are supposed to haunt us the most.

28 days later and 28 weeks later both capture this idea perfectly.

But the Zombie Diaries haunts me the most. The zombies are traditional, mostly non-threatening, walking dead who can be killed rather effortlessly, but are of course dangerous in hordes.

What is haunting in the Zombie Diaries is the collapse of the groups of survivors. I don't think that any of the main characters make it out alive (maybe one), and they are killed by other survivors (one accident, two groups on purpose). It's an insane movie.
