Warm Bodies
Dir: Jonathan Levine
2013
***
The Zombie genre has been done to death, excuse the pun, so trying to make an original film on the subject these days is pretty difficult. With Warm Bodies, director Jonathan Levine has achieved just that, although he has done so in changing what a Zombie actually is. I'm going to raise my hand here and say 'Cheat'! The rules are clear, you can bend them but you can't break them, this is not a pure Zombie film. Still, I did enjoy it, it wasn't the film I expected from director Jonathan Levine and I don't think it's as good as his previous work but it has its place and was a pleasant alternative. I think I would have preferred a less happy ending but it is what it is.
