Zom-coms (zombie comedies) are a dime a dozen -—Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, The Dead Don’t Die… the list goes on — but there aren’t all that many zom-rom-coms. Romance and the living dead don’t tend to mix that well, but one underrated example of this unlikely sub-genre is now streaming on HBO Max and you should definitely check it out. The movie in question is 2013’s Warm Bodies.
Based on the YA novel of the same name by Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies is probably the only retelling of Romeo & Juliet that takes place in a zombie apocalypse. X-Men‘s Nicholas Hoult stars as R, who may seem like your typical stumbling, groaning ghoul on the outside but on the inside, as we learn through his narration, he’s surprisingly intelligent and thoughtful.
