I love zombie movies. I hate that annoying hand held herky-jerky motion, especially with night vision discoloration. This film has that stuff, including the opening with a "REC" up in the corner, which was held steadier than the main part of the film. This is the fourth month of the zombie (referred to as "those things" in the film). It is a viral disease and not actually people rising from the dead walking while dragging a leg, just slow moving infected people who eat other people...but not each other. There are pockets of survivors held up in military camps. This one particular camp is attacked by zombies. They escape (along with the guy with the camera) and a woman reporter who is slightly crazy, but not a zombie.HEY! Put the camera down and shoot something with a gun! This movie takes place in England.Their plan is to travel through the forest to minimize zombie contact, head for the town of Hope, on the east coast and team up with another group of supposed survivors. From there, head to Holland where there exists a large colony of uninfected people. The military is disliked by the civilians because of their role in the outbreak cleansing. They encounter zombies and other group of civilian survivors on their quest. F-bomb, nudity, rape, and irony at the end.

World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2 just barely surpasses its predecessor, mainly because of the fact that it recognizes that more than walking around and verbally droning about the possibility of other lands being overtaken by zombies is not substantial enough for a feature film. Directors Kevin Gates and Michael Bartlett actually thrown some plot-progression and some events into the sequel to their Dimension Extreme-distributed film to provide for not only some much-needed life in an undead environment but, thankfully, something to reminds us why we're still watching.The horror genre is at such a treacherous time in its life, where studios have realized the go-to for quick cash comes in the form of remakes, sequels, or the constant ubiquity of ideas such as exorcism and the "found footage" method of filming that true fans must not simply "take what they can get" but look under rocks for films of the genre that will satisfy their needs effectively. The Zombie Diaries unfortunately failed to do that, and looking at World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2, it doesn't improve on too much worth noting. However, it takes considerable risks at being more than a throwaway release and dares to at least be occasionally vile and inexplicable which, at this point in the "franchise's" life, is kind of relieving that, unlike its main focus, is still alive and breathing.This time around, the film takes place about three months after the viral outbreak in the first movie began, and has since wiped out almost all of the world's population, leaving its victims as mindless, literal zombies feeding off the reminisce of the human race. One of the largest surviving groups comes in the form of experienced, well-trained soldiers, whom have taken refuge at a military base in the rural lands of Europe. After months of not coming in contact with any survivors other than themselves and spending most of their time warding off persistent zombies, the base receives communication from another, coastal military base that informs of safety and refuge in a nicer part of Europe. Thank goodness because, in a rather unbelievable chain of events, somebody left the gate to the military base wide open and allowed it to be flooded with the undead, so the soldiers need to make a run for it. The film follows the tight-knit group of fighters as they cross Europe's snowy terrain in hopes of starting a new city or state in what looks to be a promising place of comfort and, at the very least, reliable solace from the undead.The film plays like we're watching video of people playing a game of paintball or laser-tag using large areas of land as their massive playgrounds. The most exciting footage is when we see the gang of soldiers stealthily maneuvering through uncertain land and attempting to avoid potential run-ins with zombies. On top of that, writer/co-director Gates fuels the film with some much-needed elements of excitement and peril, such as scenes of gang-rape, scenes of extreme violence, and Holocaust undertones. It's not that we are particularly gleeful that the characters now have the possibility of being raped in their minds, but it's the idea that something is finally occurring in this previously dead-on-arrival franchise that makes the film quietly remarkable.However, the problems with The Zombie Diaries still exist in its sequel, which are the frequently agitating lack of steadiness in the camera, the occasionally bothersome and frequently interchangeable characters, and the fact that some scenes are way too poorly lit, even if the motive behind the film is to evoke suspense and fear. World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2 is far from a good sequel, but as an improvement on its heavily-flawed predecessor, it does rise from the ashes in some regards to create at least a more watchable film than the first which, the more I think about it, should be the tagline for every sequel to a mediocre or downright awful film.Starring: Philip Brodie, Alix Wilton Regan, Rob Oldfield, and Vicky Araico. Directed by: Kevin Gates and Michael Bartlett.

Hey,this type of filming a movie sucks a big one.It's like watching a very bad home movie shot by the village idiot who couldn't hold the camera still.If they spent a 1.5 million on this piece of garbage they spent 1.4999999 too much.It's a huge waste of resources and money on a project that never should have seen the light of day.Here's a tip if your trying to show realism it''s not realistic for someone to be filming while zombies are chasing you and it's not very entertaining trying to watch a movie that is constantly bobbing up and down ,out of focus or grainy night vision.Please do use all a favor and quit making zombie movies or at least consult with someone who does know how to .(George Romero)

Besides what other people have said..because I too could tell it was going to be horrible after 3 instances of people being obviously stupid and not trying to get away or protect themselves with a bit of common sense in the first 10 minutes.If I had gone to see this in a theater I would've been angry. I'll watch just about anything in the world with zombies in it, and my standards can go pretty low as long as there's some redeeming value. This wasn't about zombies, and we finally turned it off about an hour into the movie after getting tired and depressed from watching a woman be raped for a couple of minutes. I'd liken this to the hostel or saw of zombie movies, but with less of a plot. I'm very disappointed, I think it had some things that could've easily made it into a much better movie if only they'd chosen to done so.
