Saved by the undead

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2013)

Wanted to see this film from the moment I saw the trailer at Christmas. I rarely give anything a perfect rating, however, this little gem deserves top marks. I am not a fan of the zombie genre but for the movies message to work, the hero really needs to be a member of the undead. The characters are intriguing and the story is heartwarming, literally! The take away message, or the parable if you will, is that in order to overcome being undead, you have to be human. It is all about relationships and communication, preferably face to face rather than being glued to your smart phone and tweeting your every thought or mundane activity to an electronic cosmos that literally is not a warm body. Will watch this one again and again and can't wait to get the book too!!!
