    YES! I saw a poster at my local theatre

    It does exist in the UK... Just need to find out when it's showing now

    The website as March 7th - http://www.diaryofthedead.co.uk

    EDIT! - Oh FFS! So they put a poster up in the cinema, but they're not showing it!!! There is no where around here to see it

    Watchu on about Neil? It's all over the West End and nationwide on the 7th. There's more than enough theatres in London showing it.

    Although it's noticably absent from quite a few Odeon cinemas tho.

    London = 2hrs of travelling and nigh on £40 to see it!

    Starting to see some UK reviews now. Not very strong neither. Mainly 2 & 3 out of 5 from mainstream critics with the occasional 4 from genre reviewers. The main problem they seem to have with the movie has been well documented here already. The acting and heavy handed message. A lot of them seem to like the professor though.

    Yup, News Of The World gave it two out of five stars and called it 'Yawn Of The Dead'.

    HEY! That's already been taken!


    As stated many times before, this film is obviously not for everyone.

    Unfortunately from a box office POV the mainstream critics will have the most influence for the casual viewer. Personally i couldn't give a sh*t what they think. Its more of a case of willing the movie to have a good opening weekend. BTW i haven't seen any sort of promotion. Has anybody else? If you do track down the uk reviews be warned. These people don't give a monkeys about spoilers as i've just found out to my dismay.

    The only advertising I saw for the film was the posters AT the theater. There were alot of them. It was a small theater and was only showing Atonement, Diary, and Rocky Horror...

    I don't get it. What exactly is this mysterious criteria that everyone uses to measure "bad acting" nowadays? It's not as though there are any stellar performances coming from those receiving the biggest paychecks.

    At least all you blokes across the pond will soon get to see it.

    That pisses me off! I've heard that you guys have alcohol served in your theaters and we don't! At least not in my area or any that i've seen.

    I would kill to have a few mugs of beer at the theater...
