TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Michael Ledo 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.

Frame-By-Frame I rarely give up on a film midway because I do my research before watching. Unfortunately with this one I just had to. It may have been a different take on the zombie theme (a zombie with feelings) and starred a couple of credited actors but sorry, it just did nothing for me. The story was ridiculous and took the zombie theme to a new higher unbelievable level. The usual display of intelligent people doing stupid things. After an hour the film seemed to be going no where and by then I'd put it in the category of pointless movies. Off button pressed. My score: 1 out of 10 Not recommended.

Chappy Watched So I'll start off by saying that this film does have Twilight themes to it but is 1000 times better and manages to tell a better film in one movie as opposed to four.The film starts straight away; there is no dwelling on how it all happened or even how far into the world it reaches.If you are expecting a Walking Dead, Dawn Of The Dead or Resident Evil level of zombie, flesh, blood and violence then you are going to be disappointed. This is a different take on zombies; they still eat flesh but it's a lot more toned down than any of the previously mentioned titles.The film is narrated by 'R', as he spends his days hanging around an abandoned airport, on the outside he is sluggish and struggles to even get one word out but he seems intellectually capable and aware in his mind. I did find it weird that these zombies are more functional than most, having the ability to open door and play records.It's also different to see that when the zombies eat a person's brain, they get their memories, feeling and emotions and there are also two types of zombies; the more human ones that can evolve or the 'bonies' that gave up on life and just become an empty shell.It has a really good cast with most of the focus on Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer and Rob Corddry but with Dave Franco, John Malkovich and Analeigh Tipton rounding out a good group of actors.The soundtrack is also worth a mention with songs by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein, Roy Orbison, Guns N' Roses and Bon Iver.An enjoyable movie that should at least be watched once but I wouldn't be against watching it again.

Kirpianuscus 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.
