10 Hidden Comedy Horror Movie Gems You Need To Watch

10. Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies tells the story of a zombie called R (Nicholas Hoult), who's been shuffling around an airport with his flesh-eating companions for eight years. After encountering the beautiful Julie (Teresa Palmer), R finds his heart beating for the first time since his zombification. R hopes to develop a romantic relationship with Julie, despite the obvious dilemma that he's dead and she's not.

Although Warm Bodies received positive reviews and turned a decent profit, it seemed to come and go without making much of an impact. Because the majority of zomcoms try to emulate Shaun of the Dead, it's refreshing to see Warm Bodies approach the same subject from a different angle.

Rather than churning out formulaic jokes, the film focuses more on sharp writing and delving into the connection between the leads. The story has the exact right amount of humour that creates a lighthearted atmosphere, without undermining the seriousness of the apocalyptic situation.

Even though the story does the whole "who is the real monster?" shtick, the concept is explored creatively, so it never comes across as cliched.
