Drama, Horror, Romance.
It seems to be missing the Comedy tag, for some reason.

[Serpentine]

As I said a couple of weeks ago on Facebook, I sorta really wanna watch this

I found this in the wiki, at the time: "The zombies don’t really talk in the film, so extensive voice-over will be used to express their thoughts.[7] Director Levine sought to expand the zombie mythology by making the zombies better looking than in other films".

Cause voice over thoughts tend to work so well in films. And great, we'll have a girl falling in love with the man who *ate* her boyfriend and can't talk. We might have even worse relationship advice in this movie than Twilight gave us. Which is horrifying in it's own right.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Yeah, but I doubt this movie will be a) taking itself seriously, or b) a gigantic pre-teen phenomenon.

"Just because i'm alive and he's dead doesn't mean we can't be in love!"

[Ravens_cry]

Ah, it's a classic, boy-loves-girl-zombie-eats-boy-zombie-loves-girl romance.
Truly eternal in its scope and themes, a film for the ages.

[Goosefeather]

Please. The one true rom-zom-com has always and shall forever remain this.

[Traab]

"Just because i'm alive and he's dead doesn't mean we can't be in love!"

"What girl doesnt love the strong silent type?"

"I love a guy that can listen!"

[Lord Raziere]

Ah, the classic tale of Zombeo and Juliet and their star-crossed unholy love that will lead to tragedy. for our faith in humanity's intelligence.

[Goosefeather]

Turns out there's a corner of the internet for everything!

[IrnBruAddict]

Please. The one true rom-zom-com has always and shall forever remain this.

Too true!



Lets hope the guy isn't FRIGID in bed.

This could cause quite a STINK with the girls parents.

He could give her HIS hand in marriage. LITERALLY!

Lets hope FRANK WEST isn't the wedding photographer.



And many more bad jokes like this.

[Weezer]

The real question in this kind of situation is not why that site exists, but why you had the link to it.

[Maquise]

Didn' we recently establish that the undead and love don't mix well?

[Orzel]

Lower undead are known cheaters.
Drama!

[Lord Seth]

I didn't even know zombie romance was a thing. Then again, one of the prospective pilots for this TV season ("Awakening") was about a lawyer in a relationship who was secretly a zombie.

[Togath]

from the short description this movie sounds like it could go one of two ways; if they try to make it anything other than a comedy it'll probably fail(come on, how can you have a romance where one character can't even speak?, It would be even worse than twillight, even if they go with horror it would still probably not do very well, as you remove any tension by having a main charatcer not "infected and going to become a zombie" but instead already one), or the other option of having it be a comedy(which might just work, as a good writer can turn pretty much anything into a good comedy if they try from the start to make it one)

[TheArsenal]

I never got that type of humor:

"Hahahaha its funny because other people suffer because of zombies-DATS THE JOKE!"

But again, I have zombie phobia.

[Draconi Redfir]

Bluh i'm probably going to regret saying this, but i think i might watch this at some point. Not on opening night of coarse, i want to support this thing as little as possible. Maybe a movie rental or from netflix if possible.

Just because I’m curious as to how they pull it off, I’m expecting something similar to twilight, but the idea behind it (Zombie retains some if not most of it’s mentality rather then just being a walking eating machine) at least sounds somewhat original. Though perhaps my mind is being clouded by fond memories of “28 weeks later” (one of the characters gets infected early on and follows his children around specifically. He still tries to kill them of course, but he still targets them above all others.)

This.....


What is this? Honastly, I knew that there was going to be some sort of stupid reboot of either A. fairy tales or B. Vampire flicks.

Now this exists. My god, and to think my idea for a Humpty Dumpty movie (All the kings men, could not put him together again.....) was the most idiotic idea I could concive. Jebbus. There is now somthing to rival Shark Attack 3D in my mind as the worst thing I must see.

[Tengu_temp]

The zombies don’t really talk in the film, so extensive voice-over will be used to express their thoughts.

Make it Morgan Freeman and I'll watch it.

Humpty was in Puss in Boots movie.

[Mx.Silver]

I can't help but notice that one of the two writers is credited with the 'novel'. I thought this must be a mistake because surely nobody would have actually written- No, never mind, they did.

[H Birchgrove]

Guess why I came up with the idea of Mindflayer romance? (The Succubus did a very good job at developing the idea, kudos to him. )

[Krazzman]

As I mentioned to my GF, as I saw that thing... anyone who says to me it's a good movie, or I should watch it because the romance is soooo good, deserves my boot...in his/her face...

[kpenguin]

Make it Morgan Freeman and I'll watch it.

March of the Zombies? I'd watch it.

[Pokonic]

In the vein of the Red Riding Hood movie and the like.

It could still be good - because of sheer hilarity and weirdness, or maybe even genuinely good if it's self-aware enough.

[bluewind95]

There are two book reviews linked on Wikipedia. Both are very positive. The idea behind why zombies eat brains is kind of interesting, really.

... That said. Romance. I wouldn't watch or read it. A snippet provided in one of the reviews at least shows it's a lot better-written than one would think. But still.

[Ravens_cry]

Eh, I am growing less and less forgiving of something merely because it is "self aware". While it can be used well, Mystery Men is a nice example, it sometimes feels like merely an excuse.
"Yes, we know we're awful, but we're so gosh darn cute about it, you got to love us!"
It's like when someone screws up and turns and says, "I meant to do that."
