Warm Bodies (2013)

Anyone who knows me knows that zombie movies are one of my favorite types! and I was not disappointed in the least when I watched Warm bodies.

The film begins with the commentary of a zombie walking around other zombies, just shuffling around, grunting "occasionally bumping into eachother". The unnamed protagonist admits he can not remember his name but he thinks it started with the letter R. There is also a relationship established between the 'walking corpses' and the 'bonies'. The way it works is once you are dead enough what is left of your skin dies and sheds off, all that is left is a black skeleton like figure called a 'bonie'. The bonies are like walking corpses but more aggressive, determined to eat living flesh, and scary as hell!

My favorite part about this movie is that it gave me a new insight to zombies, a new perception of what they are, and what they can be. The protagonist, later named R, is attacking  group of humans like he always does, until he see's Julie, a pretty young lady who he sees in a vision... while he eats her boyfriends brains. He proceeds to wipe dead blood on her face to mask her living cent and take her to his hiding place back at zombie central.

R continues to change, as his crush becomes more strong, his heart begins to beat again, he is able to speak more english. Eventually Julie gets caught, R protects her from his best friend "eat" his best friend grunts, R shakes his head, as disappointed as his friend was, he protected R and Julie as they escaped the bonies, who are not as easily convinced. Eventually they are witnessed by several zombies as they leave holding hands, this sparks something in all of them, and they become  more human.

My favorite part of the movie is when living soldiers come to kill both bonies and walking corpses but find them fighting each other. "which one's do we shoot?" asked one soldier. Even the leader of the army couldn't believe over the radio that walking corpses were helping the humans.

In the end it is discovered that the way to cure zombies is to treat them like people. This offers a huge social comment on any outcast in society, stating that the reason they are outcasts is because they are treated like outcasts. I love this movie and would definitely 100% recommend buying it!
