Warm Bodies (2013)

During a 'feeding encounter' Zombie R (Nicholas Hoult) saves Julie (Teresa Palmer) from becoming lunch, he shelters her from harm and soon they form a bond and friendship.

It's a romantic Zombie horror flick (a Rombie?) This is a very good twist on the old Zombie genre, yes the Zombies are your classic Romero "Dawn Of The Dead" type, shuffling along, blood drenched, looking for lunch, but this flick takes it in a new direction, are the Zombies becoming human again over time and not deteriorating into the feared and ferocious "Bonies", what you would call a 'mutant' Zombie.

A zombie flick with a soul and a firmly beating heart.
