Featured review
I've seen a lot of Zombie movies, a subgenre that I think has been overdone but I keep going back to it to see how different can your storytelling be?
I'd always heard good things about this movie and finally got around to this 'cult classic', and I see it's got that status. This was a zombie movie like none other, you've got to watch it to find out why.
This, as the card says, is a romantic comedy with zombies. Didn't think you could introduce romance and humor in zombie movie without making it a "Scary Movie" but huh, they've done it, and have ended up making a very deep movie out of it, with all sorts of social commentary.
If, like me, you've been sleeping on this movie, don't. Watch it soon and read up on what people have to say about it to enjoy it even more.
