An Off-Beat Paranormal Romantic Zombie Flick!

Rating: 7/10 (6 June 2013)

I enjoyed 'Warm Bodies'. Sure, its off-beat, not the usual boy-girl love-story, but at least this one is innovative & nicely executed. It may not appeal to all the romantics out there, but it still charms.
'Warm Bodies' Synopsis: After R (a highly unusual zombie) saves Julie from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world.
'Warm Bodies' is based on Isaac Marion's novel of the same name. I haven't read the novel, but cinematically, it surely arrested me. The narrative is slow-paced & very moody, but the entire zombie-human love-story is hard not to like. The characters, living or dead, are interesting to watch.
Jonathan Levine's Adapted Screenplay works in most parts, while he Directs the film with style. Cinematography is mesmeric. Editing is crisp. Make-Up is amazingly done. Art & Costume Design, are faultless.
Performance-Wise: Nicholas Hoult is excellent as R. He holds the film! Teresa Palmer is her usual self. Analeigh Tipton is brilliant. Rob Corddry is earnest, while John Malkovich proves once again how great an actor he is.
On the whole, 'Warm Bodies' is certainly a must see.
