A Zombie Romance. Why?

While immensely popular, the Twilight saga clearly has debased and watered down the vampire legend. Rather than being monsters, they are merely another type of "bad boy" for young women to fix. Unfortunately, zombies may be the next "bad boy" type. The Examiner discusses an upcoming move called "Warm Bodies":

We’re not given an exact date on when the zombie apocalypse but Earth has been taken over by zombies. There are a very few human resistance groups still out there just trying to survive. The story of “Warm Bodies” is actually told through a zombie named R. He goes through his day like every day in the airport where he’s lived for awhile. He wants to remember what he did and where he came from.

A group of resistance fighters show up close to the airport to get medical supplies. R and a group of zombies set out to find food and run into the group of humans. During the fight all the humans are killed except two girls. R sees one of the girls and instantly has love at first sight. He wipes some zombie blood on her and tells her to be quiet. He gets her all the way back to his airplane that he stays in from time to time to keep her safe. He finds out her name is Julie and that her dad is the head of the local resistance group.

Julie agrees to stay with R for a while until it is safe for travel. R really just wants to get to know her and notices that he’s able to talk easier and that he’s able to start to remember things. Julie notices the changes but doesn’t think her dad will fully understand that zombies are coming back to life. She ends up leaving R when they get close to the city to protect him. R heads back to the airport but is met half way back by his only friend who tells him all the zombies are changing because of him. He also informs him that the zombies who have turned into skeletons are chasing after them. R decides to take the zombies to the city to help the humans fight the “bonies”.

 Ugh....
