a true rom-com-zom

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2013)

Horror and comedy don't usually make a good combination (there are a couple of exceptions like Shaun of the Dead/Zombieland) but in this instance they've hit the nail on the head. Don't get me wrong, you want need to leave the bedroom light on after watching it but in dealing with the old 'apocalypse/zombie' theme you're automatically entering the horror genre.
Nicholas Holt makes a great zombie, maybe that's a reflection on his natural acting ability. His character is likable from the offset, his Hugh Grant-esque first person commentary witty, heart warming and thought provoking but he also carries off the undead pimp limp with great aplomb.
I love the way the story develops, adds a bit of tension and excitement and then leaves you feeling content and a wee bit fuzzy like anything with a bit of romance in it should.
At the end i turned my other half and we both said 'good film', that rarely happens!
