Warm Bodies


It is really hard to describe this movie without making it sound really lame.  The concept itself is an interesting one, a twist on the more classic zombie film, yes there was an apocalypse and there are some survivors etc but this is more than just that.  It does not fit inside the genre of zombie horror; it is a romcom at its best. It is sweet and funny, it makes you think, it could almost be an analogy for the situation humanity finds itself in at the moment.  There is not much more to be said without giving the whole thing away.

Having said that it makes you think, don’t think too much when it has finished as at the end of the day it is a film, and there are lots of continuity errors and plot falls so that if you think about it as a story as a whole and try to make sense of it, you will just begin to pick it to pieces and it unravels quite quickly.  It is a film, that is all, enjoy it for that.  

It is a cross between films like Pay it Forward, Shaun of the Dead, and some cheesy romance (all of which the tittles escape me right now).  It is unique and fresh, although it will definitely not be for everyone.

Go see this if you like non committal body language, girls with guns, and warm fuzzy feelings.
