Great Horror short, 13 August 2005
8/10
Author: Vincent Rocca from Hollywood

I saw an early screening of the Diary and thought at that time it was great.

I've heard that it has been tightened and is now even better.

The short has great make-up effects and a yummy bloody zombie feast. I see the director has worked on many big budget Hollywood flicks in the special effects department. No doubt thoses skills and favors were pulled in for the Diary. Because you usually just don't see this level of talent in shorts.

The shooting locations are creepy and very effective. I dug the dungeon basement. It looks like it cost a fortune.

The direction is solid. The acting is good. The cinematography is solid and the sound (which is most important for horror) is excellent. You can't go wrong with this flick.

I also love the miller product placement. Good stuff.
