The best (and probably only) rom-com-zombie movie!

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

Last Sunday, the second half of "The Walking Dead" premiered on AMC. Watching the show, you see many zombies being shot, stabbed, decapitated, etc. They are lifeless, have no soul, and have no remorse.
People love zombie plots. "Warm Bodies" is a terrific addition to the zombie film category, because it adds so much originality. The film takes on the point-of-view of the zombie R(Nicholas Hoult), something that has never really been seen in film before. R walks around his post-apocalyptic city with several others who have been turned doing the same routine. Some days he just walks around hopelessly, and others he searches for food in an outskirt of the city. He has a friend he "communicates" with, named M. He also has a hideout of his own he stays in, an a nearby airplane that he keeps collectibles.
One day, R, M, and a pack of zombies walk on the outskirt of town to find humans to feed on. R does not want to, but he needs to survive on it. He feels conflicted about it, but still needs to feed. He comes across a group of humans trying to get medical supplies for their base. After one(Dave Franco) tries to shoot him, R instantly kills him. R likes to eat the brains of the humans, because then he gets to feel human and live their past memories all the way up until their demise. He sees memories with a girl(Teresa Palmer)that seemed to be his girlfriend. R instantly falls in love with her, and he somehow gets part of a human heartbeat going again. He looks forward to see that this girl is actually part of this pack of humans. He puts some blood on her and is able to somewhat communicate that she should follow him and he'll keep her safe.
The girl, Julie, is obviously cautious. She has never seen a zombie communicate, for her father(John Malkovich) leads the pack of humans and has them believing their is never any hope left for the turned humans. Julie is brought with R to his airplane hideout, and he plans to keep her safe.
Every scene with Julie and R is done so well. They have such a chemistry together, even for a zombie and human. Many people have been comparing the film to "Twilight." This is nothing like "Twilight,"for that movie was about a girl's conflictions to fall in love with a supernatural being. "Warm Bodies" is about a zombie being able to fix the zombie race because of his love for a human. I did find the film a little short, for I wished the film would continue. The ending is wonderful, and will leave you smiling.
"Warm Bodies" is probably the best romantic comedy out right now you could see. Go see it and discover an original film with a concept that may seem ridiculous, and turns out brilliantly.
