Warm Bodies: a zombie love story

Zombies are usually portrayed as mindless, brain-hungry monsters.

Never, however, are they seen as romantic, comedic or relatable like in the new movie “Warm Bodies.”

The film is based on the book “Warm Bodies” by Isaac Marion.

The story is centered around a self-aware zombie named R, played by Nicholas Hault (“X-Men: First Class”), who spends his time listening to vinyl records, wandering around an airport and occasionally sharing grunts with his only “friend,” who is  played by Rob Corddry (“Hot Tub Time Machine”), on a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Although he is not capable of doing normal human things, the audience is able to hear all of his thoughts.

R’s routine is changed, however, when he meets a survivor named Julie, played by Teresa Palmer (“I Am Number Four”), who sets off a transformation in him that will change both of their worlds.

In addition to the corpses in the movie, there is also enough gore to make the faint of heart turn their heads away.

They still live off human flesh and brains to survive.

However, R does not let his appetite for human flesh stop him from protecting his dear Julie.

Julie’s father, who is the leader of the remaining humans, is very stern, but he allows her and some friends to venture into the corpse infested area to get medicine.

This is where Julie meets R, and the story begins to take an unexpected turn.

You would be amazed at certain things that happen in this movie.

What happens will make your heart just… I’m going to let you figure this one out for yourself.
