WARM BODIES (2013)

Cast

Plot

Typical story: boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy is unable to articulate himself properlywhen ingirl's presence. The difference here is that the boy in question, 'R', is a zombie who's midway through chomping through said girl's boyfriend's brains. More Romeo and Juliet than Romero, Warm Bodies's undead feet are placed firmly in teen romance territory,creating a smartmetaphor for adolescent angst and self-doubt, and whileneither as inventive or as outright funny as fellow rom-zom-coms Braindead and Shaun of the Dead, it nevertheless has plenty of charm in its own right.
