Director: Jonathan Levine
Star-crossed lovers and zombie invasions aren't new. In fact, those story lines have been recycled for years. However put them together and you get Warm Bodies: an movie that does not gratify on originality, but its uniqueness to create a new angle on stories that seem to be set in stone. Starring somewhat unknown celebrities, it gets in the genre game and favorably makes it a hit. This could have been made with famous people and it would be a certified box office hit, but when made with two people easing their way into the industry, it was a gamble and it paid off. While it is not anywhere on my top favorite movies, Warm Bodies deserves a two thumbs up.
