Surprisingly thoughtful

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2017)

I was expecting a slightly dark Rom-Com and got a little more.
What piqued my interest, was the angst filled,hapless R,shuffling through the airport lamenting on how humans used to interact and connect, which switched to the same airport, filled with disconnected humans, alienated and engaging only with their cell phones.
I thought, well , that's an astute observation.
Hought's was a compelling performance, I loved his repulsion at his own inhumanity when he ate the brain of Perry, as seen through Perry's memory. That's some good acting.
I also like that twist, it reminded me of Robert Heinlein's Michael Valentine Smith,(Stranger in a Strange Land) who ate the bodies of the dead in order to absorb their spirit, all in the name of love. You grok?
I LOL'd in real life when the zombies were geared into action, to 'Rock You Like a Hurricane', and we were treated to the (now iconic) Reservoir Dogs slow-mo, except it was in real time- because...hey, they're zombies! They're already in slow-mo!
Also when the makeover to human montage was cut short by the friend shutting off Pretty Woman and saying "It's funny". It is.
And of course, the redemption of the zombies (and humans) and the bonding experience of reconciliation through the love of killing a common enemy.
Yay!
