I saw Diary today at the Landmark Nuart theater in LA, The marquee looked great so I photographed it for posterity. Then I noticed on the poster outside the box office that GAR will be in person tomorrow night at 7:30 so I bought a ticket to come back. I first saw the original Night in 1968 when I was 8 years old. For some reason my grandmother thought it was a appropriate film for an 8 year old. Even though it traumatized me and I had a fear of cemeteries for several years, I came to love the work of GAR and the genre in particular. I have never watched a GAR film that I did not enjoy in some way. Martin is my favorite vampire film. As for Diary , I liked it a lot. I did not dislike Land, but I did feel it was the weakest of the series. I would rate Diary now as the 4th film in the series, if you can call it a series. My rating would be as follows:
1. Dawn (the 156 minute version is hands down the best Z film ever made)
2. Night
3. Day
4. Diary
5. Land
I also think that Tom Savini's remake of Night was just outstanding and Zack Snyder's Dawn was excellent as well. So I hope all of you GAR fans enjoy Diary. If I get the chance to meet GAR tomorrow I plan to ask if there will indeed be a sequel to Diary. Best Regards

I would say...

1.) Day
2.) Dawn
3.) Night '90/68'
4.) Diary
5.) Land

I hate though to group Diary in with the other films because it is not part of them and I know that it will be confused with them. I also feel bad to put it on the bottom of the list because it is not at all a bad film.
