He’s still dead but he’s getting warmer.

Humans are alive. Zombies are dead looking humans. Bones are zombies represent death.

Warm Bodies was first published in 2010 as a novel written by Isaac Marion, the novel was seen as a zombie romance. Jonathan Levine directed the film as a humorous new adventure involving zombies and humans living separate life, split by one wall. When Julie and her friends enter the zombie state to collect supplies the two worlds change.

This light hearted film is perfect for a quiet night in. With jumpy scenes which make your heart race for the safety of Julie and R. There is a perfect balance of romance, comedy and horror which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats unsure how the plot will develop.

Comedic values of R, played by Nicholas Hoult, are hilarious, the audience take a liking to R as the narration of his voice is witty and humours. Honestly this is what makes the film interesting. The plot to the story is unusual for a romantic film and also a zombie film, in a positive way.

A positive aspect of this film is that the story begins straight away rather than having to wait for the story to unravel during the film, which is usually annoying.

Warm Bodies has a very uncomfortable atmosphere to it as it includes the colour schemes used as cold colours, such as blues and blacks , creating a cold image, this ties in nicely with the film as it is a zombie film.

The zombie are being healed, by love.
