I just found out THE DIARY made it into its first film festival, the FAIF Film Festival, premiering on October 12 of this year at the Mann Chinese. I was surprised it took this long because when I saw it during its completion screening last June I saw a true gem.
The acting is top-notch, the cinematography incredible (a great example is when the Jonathan character is outside and you can see his breath since it's so cold really conveyed a sense of dread during that scene, another example is when Billy went to bed and there's the blue moonlight hitting hit face, with the orange lighting behind him, adding a nice contrast), the cabin used in the secluded woods was also a very nice touch (it is eerie when you go to a cabin and can't hear any of nature's sounds). I enjoyed the makeup effects on the zombies too, especially on one of the actresses in the film. It made her very sensuous and beautiful.
This film is truly something everyone should watch when it makes its premiere next month. See it everyone, you won't be disappointed!
