This girl's dead. That guy's dead... That guy in the corner is definitely dead.

Date: Monday 18th February
Film: Warm Bodies (2013)
Director: Jonathan Levine
Starring: Nicholas HoultTheresa PalmerJohn Malkovich and Dave Franco
Running time: 01 hour, 38 minutes
Rating: 7/10

It's really hard to assess this film without going off on a rant about the modern cinema audience (sit down and shut up please) and select major chain staff (whispers would be nice, thanks), all I know is that I was 100% engaged in this film, and I think it may be because of all the distractions, for what I saw of the film was delightful.

Yes, this is another 'cash in on the Twilight audience with a teen paranormal rom-com', and the storyline is glaringly obvious, however Warm Bodies seems to present it all with a fresh new twist. Perhaps it's because we don't often see teen zombie films or maybe because these zombies aren't stereotypical Hollywood zombies, either way it works for me.

Not every joke was a success, not every aspect seemed to fit. Warm Bodies may be flawed, however it doesn't aim to be anything more than an entertaining film. As paranormal teen romances go I've seen a lot worse.
