"Let the bodies hit the floor,Let the bodies hit the floor."

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2014)

With a friend having recently started to dip her toes into the Horror genre,I decided to search around for an easy-going Horror title that she could watch on Halloween.Due to her being a fan of the TV show True Blood,I started to look round for movies which contained a similar comedic aspect to the one featured in the series. Struggling to find any suitable titles,I suddenly remembered seeing a trailer for a fun looking Zombie film,which led to me getting ready to see the warm bodies hit the floor.

View on the film:
Adapting the Isaac Marion short novel,writer/director Jonathan Levine skillfully uses the books inner-monologue to give the title a delightfully quirky comedic bite,with being a rather awkward,very self-conscious zombie whose obsessed with vinyl records and attempts in having full conversations with his fellow zombies.Along with the quirky Comedy edge,Levine also gives the movie a surprisingly sweet romantic nature,which never becomes sickly sweet,thanks to Levine matching sly nods to Romeo and Juliet,with R getting flashbacks to his brain munching skills.
Whilst the film does largely focus on the romance side of things,Levine makes sure that the horror of the walking dead is never left behind,with Levine scattering the movie with fun horror in-jokes, (a highlight being a "cameo" of Lucio Fulci's Zombi) and also making sure to not stay away from the gore,as R finds himself having to take on a bunch of deranged,uber- zombies.
Slowly walking across the screen, Nicholas Hoult gives a great performance as R,as Hoult shows R falling all over the place in his attempts to show new love Julie that he is not a mindless zombie nutter.Tip toeing over the risk of her character being plain and wholesome,the pretty Teresa Palmer gives a lively as Julie,with Palmer showing Julie's unease over being the girlfriend to a zombie who ate who boyfriends brains! Joining R & Julie, Rob Corddry gives a hilarious performance as R's close zombie friend M,thanks to Corddry dragging his idiotic zombie across the floor,as the zombies hit the floor.
