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. Mar 17, 2008 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher [A] tad too self-conscious about the 'importance' of its 'message.' Mar 7, 2008 Full Review Joshua Tyler CinemaBlend Social commentary is laid on so thick and often it becomes muddled. Jan 20, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

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!
