Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies (2013) is a zombie romance with a comic streak you can watch online on iFILM. Jonathan Levine directs, with Nicholas Hoult as a corpse who keeps narrating his own decay.

The world has collapsed into a plague that splits the living from the dead. One zombie remembers almost nothing — just that his name started with R. He shuffles through an abandoned airport, hoards vinyl records, and feeds on the survivors. Then he meets Julie (Teresa Palmer) and, instead of eating her, hides her from the rest of the horde. Something warms in his chest. Her father, a hard-line leader of the human holdouts played by John Malkovich, wants every walking corpse wiped out.

Levine reworks Romeo and Juliet into the apocalypse, where Romeo rots and can barely speak a sentence. The film leans on dry humor and an odd tenderness rather than gore, with Dave Franco turning up in support. Want a horror comedy that roots for the monster? Stream Warm Bodies (2013) online on iFILM.
