Diary of the Dead

Audience emotional responses are dominated by the intense Fear and pervasive Anxiety inherent in a zombie apocalypse scenario, amplified by the film's found-footage style that immerses viewers in the characters' desperate struggle for survival. The constant threat and graphic nature of the undead contribute significantly to feelings of being Disturbing. Anticipation is high as characters navigate an unpredictable and dangerous world, while Sadness and Empathy arise from witnessing the profound loss, despair, and personal struggles, particularly Mary's emotional breakdown, amidst the societal collapse.
