Very well executed

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is perhaps the oddest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet to date. The names "R" (Nicholas Hoult) and Julie (Teresa Palmer) should clue you in. The film starts out with first person narration from "R", a zombie. He let's us know he can not connect with people, the theme of the film that zombies are simply people who have lost their connection to other people. If they can regain that connection, they can be cured or at any rate, not smell as bad.In this tale "R" consumes the brains of Julie's boyfriend and gains his memory. This starts a platonic relationship where they protect each other from each other's world. "R" is a horder who lives in a plane. Julie's dad (John Malkovich) is the leader of zombie killers. The introduction of young kids with pseudo patriotic themes is a satire of the "Red Dawn" movies.There are some questions that arise. 1) How do the skeletons, i.e. "bonies" stay together without falling apart? 2) How does a record player operate after 8 years into a zombie apocalypse with no electricity? 3) How does a person see their own face in their own memory?This is a fun film, that drags at times. Will be a welcomed addition to my zombie film collection when it comes out. Almost a prequel to "Fido."PARENTAL GUIDE: No sex or nudity. Zombie Rob Corddry whispers the F-bomb near the end of the film.

It was awful. Hell, the word "awful" doesn't even begins to describe how I felt watching the movie.It's like "what if deadheads wasn't funny and it's ending was stretched to the whole movie".Cheesy, uninteresting, bad special effects & action scenes, idiotic solution to the whole mess. "Make zombies feel emotions and they'll turn human yeehh" NO. Know what? I would have accepted the solution if the movie would have executed it well. But it didn't. God awful movie.You'll like this movie if you're a 13yo girl with "pale guys" fetish, or something of the sort.

I thought this film with Nicholas Hoult in this was really good. Jaysus he really can do a killer American accent that no other British actor can do perfectly!! I felt like the zombies in this really do represent the ones that you see on action video games or action movies. However, there's not much blood or gore in this like yeah its suppose to be a romantic horror movie but there is very little. All you can see is Hoult's character eating his love interest's boyfriends brain but that's pretty much it like!Its a pretty good movie, not my favorite or would consider it the best, but its grand to watch when you have time to kill! Happy Halloween folks!

a strange film. because it ignores a genre rules and the trend. because it propose a different Romeo and a different Juliet and mix love story, zombie's adventures, emotions, humor and thriller in inspired manner. a film who surprise almost in each scene. and that is its great virtue - to transform, in smart manner, a well known story, being scary and seductive, dramatic and using pieces from old fashion romantic comedies. and the entire work becomes , at its end, a convincing pledge for tolerance. because all is at its right place. the make-up, the acting, the story, the atmosphere, the delicacy of gestures, the different aspects of a friendship for survive who remains in transformation scene by scene. a teenage movie, sure. but only at the first sigh.
