    84C MoPic/84 Charlie MoPic

    Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Diary of the Dead and 84C MoPic?

    But instead of American soldiers being overrun by Viet Namese guerrillas, Romero has college film students "shooting" marauding zombies in first person perspective.

    I'll run through the list of similarities.

    1.) 84C MoPic = platoon drop into hot zones via helicopter
    1.) Diary = students drive into hot zones via winnabago

    2.) 84C MoPic = main character's perspective shown mainly through camera lense
    2.) Diary = main character's perspective shown mainly through camera lense

    3.) 84C MoPic = platoon is overran by Viet Namese guerrillas
    3.) Diary = students overran by zombies

    It's a Viet Nam movie filmed in first person perspective, long before that Blair Witch crap. I recommend you see it. I'm sure it is the closest movie to compare Diary of the Dead to, atleast stylistically.

    Sounds interesting, but I think they missed the marketing boat with that title.

    By that rational, you could sum up 99% of movies with this description:

    Good Vs. Evil
    "[Our] object is to secure self government by the republicanism
    of our constitution, as well as by the spirit of the people; and
    to nourish and perpetuate that spirit. I am not among those who
    fear the people. They and not the rich are our dependence for
    continued freedom." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.
