      Matt Kelemen Las Vegas CityLife GEORGE ROMERO REALLY HAD NOWHERE to take his zombie franchise after 2005's Land of the Dead -- but he made this year's Diary of the Dead anyway.

      martin a An enjoyable film, A man and his wife fall on hard times as he loses his job and they have to move in with the mother in law who hates him and is a total cow. The mother in law keeps saying that if her daughter leaves him she has lots of money. The mother in laws best friend also is due to stay, but things break down and the son in law plans to poison the mother, but the friend turns up having had to walk from the bus depot has a heart attack upon arriving, he then has an idea to kill the mother and swap the bodies, but the mother falls in an argument accusing him of killing her friend. On top of this there is a creepy man next door who keeps watching the house and is friends with the mother. Very enjoyable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A desperate man attempts to seize an opportunity to free himself from his overbearing and insufferable mother-in-law. Not only does he become a victim of his own inescapable cover up and deception but also discovers the torment of his mother in law extends from beyond the grave. Pretty good even if it lags at times with character actor Hector Elizondo showing well. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member What a piece of crap. The acting is so awful I couldn't even finish the movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Better late than never right? Hey it was Valentine's Day.... Click on the pics!
