Romeo and Juliet Zombified

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2013)

I feel like most people missed the connection between this movie and the classic romeo and Juliet play. Obviously all the names R, Julie, Perry, M and the plot with opposing families give this away. The real difference is that instead of dying together in the name of love, they become alive together. With R being a zombie his coming to life is literal but even Julie who was sad and lonely in this post-apocalyptic world finds herself at the end because of R. This movie is the untragic comedic zombie romance version of Romeo and Juliet. I think if they would have advertised it more so in this way people would have understood it better and probably enjoyed it more. As for the movie itself the effects were good. Music was fun. Kept me interested the whole time. Just a fun zombie romance for people who are tired of the same old stuff.
