Love this movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2014)

I'm usually not the kind of person that watches all the newest films and follows all the latest treads. Hollywood likes to group movie trends together. Last year everyone liked vampires, now its zombies. I hadn't even heard of this movie, but my friend really wanted to see it, so I agreed to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised. This was a fantastic movie! It's not your typical zombie teen romance film, It was a lot more than that. I loved the change of perspective. Usually a movie like this would tell the humans side of the story, but this one told the zombies side, which I thought was really unique and I loved it. I think this was the first time I ever felt feelings for a zombie. I also thought the actors were great. I loved Nicholas Hoult as R. He was perfect for the part and acted it out fantastically, you actually believed he was a zombie. Teresa Palmer was good, but not great. I didn't really like her character, but I guess that's not her fault. The character of Julie acted rude and snobby towards R, despite the fact that he saved her life multiple times, It was only till the end that she started to warm up to him, which I thought was kind of bizarre. Over all, this movie really touched me. I thought It was beautiful, mildly funny, and just a breath of fresh air. The ending was especially great. I loved how this movie told that love could even bring the dead back to life, even though that isn't very realistic, but screw reality.
