Zombie stuff (books, TV shows, movies) are my guilty pleasure and whats more (and I haven't watched warm bodies yet so I don't know how successful it was) they cant be romanticised like vampires and werewolves.
They are humans reduced to the most basic instinct, eating things. That it. And I love it! The cheesier the better as far as I'm concerned.
Just as a proving point of how bad it can get and me still love it, I have actually read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and loved it and then thought it would be a good idea to purchase and read Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. I got about a chapter in, it was terrible, terrible writing, terrible premise, terrible shoehorning in of the extra plot, which no doubt Pride and Prejudice and Zombie had also, but without zombies, there was not the suspension of belief that I would have otherwise.
And who can blame me being taken in with opening line gems like:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.It is just brilliant. I can't get enough of it.
