A zombie film for teens that is actually very enjoyable for adults!

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2014)

A zombie named R saves a beautiful girl named Julie, but kills her longtime boyfriend in the process when he needs to feed. After initially being reluctant to trust the Zombie, Julie learns to have fun with R. Their love story might just transform the current state of the world. I honestly wasn't expecting much with this film when it was announced. It seemed like P.G nonsense that I would dread. I started reading positive reviews for it and suddenly, my expectations began to rise. I never thought the "friendly" zombie type could work. I'm a big believer in zombies being threatening, so naturally I thought the idea was ludicrous. Guess what? It worked in a big way. This is mainly due to the fantastic chemistry between Teresa Palmer & Nicholas Hoult. Palmer is lively and gorgeous. Hoult is an absolute star with his portrayal of R. The two manage to make it all work. I thought Rob Coddry stole the show as a fellow zombie. He's proving to be one of the best comedic actors going today. It isn't just the acting, it's the story as well. Don't be warded off by the P.G rating. It is genuinely a very heartwarming film. You'll find yourself smiling throughout the movie. My only major carp is the ending itself. I thought they rushed things a little bit, and they could have gone a lot farther with it. It was still enjoyable, though.
8.5/10
