The premise

In the early part of the 21st Century, an unknown virus began spreading among the populous. Within weeks it had engulfed the entire planet, from the smallest communities to the greatest cities. Upon the death of its host, the virus would reanimate the corpse until it was no longer able to support itself. Soon the planet was infested with a new threat - the undead. So begins our journey into the dystopian world of the zombie diaries.

Horror Vault's take

Shot in the raw, handheld style of found footage, The Zombie Diaries plunges viewers into a Britain overrun by the reanimated dead after a catastrophic viral outbreak sweeps the globe. The film weaves together multiple perspectives from survivors struggling to endure in a world that has fundamentally and irreversibly broken down. Its low-budget authenticity lends a grounded, documentary-like dread to the carnage unfolding across the UK countryside and beyond. Fans of slow-burn, character-driven zombie horror will find plenty to unsettle them here.
