Truth be told I am not much of a fan of zombie movies. I mean at the root of it they aren't very frightening to me because in a traditional sense you should be able to out run them and if you don't it's all about a blunt object to the head. Yes eventually you will run into problems of no food and all of that but there is no winning in a zombie apocalypse there is only delaying the inevitable which just doesn't seem scary to me. Warm Bodies manages to bring a new perspective on a pretty tired genre, in that you sympathize with the zombies and they are the good guys. Sure it's weird to see the female love interest fall in love with a zombie, but because of the inner dialogue that the audience participates in you know he isn't a mindless corpse with only brains on his mind. If you want a traditional zombie thing go ahead and watch the Walking Dead instead, but I am ready for something new if we aren't just going to get rid of the zombie genre entirely.
Rating: B+
This is the only zombie movie that I didn't want to see after watching the preview.
