Zombies are everywhere today.
Some are cool, some not so cool.
This one falls somewhere in the middle.
I told my wife that I expected it to be a "zombie Twilight" but it was not quite as teen lovey-dovey. The film has some cool concepts about the undead that where new to me. The way the lead zombie 'R', played by
Nicholas Hoult, was a normal thinking brain inside his walking corpse. It made for some unique and funny inner dialogue. I also liked the idea of when they eat a brain they absorb and relive that persons memories and feelings giving them a taste of normalcy for just that while. A great motivation to keep eating brains. In the end it did get a bit too cheesy with the focus on the "love" that R had for his normal girl. It took it too far into 'WB' TV show land.
On a new note, I saw an interview with the lead actor, Nicholas Hoult. He said that a pol had been taken with teen girls about who they thought was hotter, the zombie version of Hoult or the real guy...they chose the zombie version.
Our future looms bright....siiiiggh.
