Warm Bodies Movie Review

As a whole, these characters have relevance today because each of these characters individually can be realistically portrayed and believed. These are situations that anyone could be in and the way that they actually challenge the positions they are put in is what helps us to continue to break down gender boundaries shown here still today.

Movies are a necessary form of entertainment especially for the genre of horror, as they induce an interest in the culture of horror. The movie Annabelle, includes many iconic images which are used in film such as blood and dolls. The doll is the most essential object for the film as it causes suspense, misdirection, and terror to the characters as well as the audiences. Various camera angles are used throughout the film to create different scenes. Specifically there are a few camera angles that stood out, because they created more suspense and terror. The first crucial scene in the film is when the doll, Annabelle, is introduced. A medium long shot of the couple is used while they are in the baby's room, to show that they are in the comfort of their own home. John (the husband) presents his wife, Mia with the doll as a gift because she has always wanted it (Annabelle). A medium long shot is still being used to signify their comfort in the room, this creates suspense

The music really accentuated the spookiness of this part of the film because it made the viewers feel scared and as if something horrific was about to happen. The second technique, high-angle shots, was used when the mother was crying on

The original film is eerily presented in black and white and uses mood influencing silences, long pauses, and various sound effects to depict the hallucinations. Furthermore, the angle of the camera is positioned below the actors, which intensifies the feeling of horror. Visually, the film using ‘chiaroscuro lighting’, which is designed to cast shadows and contrast light with dark to dramatically intensify the gloominess of the films context. These film features are necessary because the actual murder, dismembering and disposal of the corpse portrayal is relative tame and largely left up to the viewer to determine what is actually happening. The dismembering in particular largely relies on the viewers memories of the opening scenes where the younger man is preparing a chicken for his dinner by grizzly hacking

During the film Steve Spielberg uses music, a mysterious shark and camera techniques such as simultaneous track and zoom, long shot, close up shots and medium shots to build suspense, tension and scare the audience.

Zombies aren’t supposed to exist. But what if they do, and we interact with them every day? Chuck Klosterman’s essay, “My Zombie, Myself”, compares everyday life to the task of killing zombies. Through elaborate metaphors, quotes from zombie experts, and a strong call to action, he successfully appeals to pathos, ethos and logos to convince his readers. Klosterman argues that even though modern life is monotonous, it is possible to escape the monotony.

Suspense is a crucial ingredient in the making of horror and thriller films. The significance of suspense in horror films is to bring out the “twist or unexpected moment of realization that makes someone scream and one's heart race. In the film industry, there are various types of genre, but as different as films may seem, they all have one element that links them all together. That element is known as Mise-en-scene. Mise-en-scene is a French phrase that means “putting into the scene.” Mise-en-scene includes elements such as setting, lighting, costume, and figure movement and expression (acting).

The film is centered around the use of a hand held camera as the family use the camera to investigate the supernatural forces. This helps the audience to feel more connected with the film as we are in the characters viewpoint. When the characters within the movie uses the hand held camera their movements are shaky showing inexperience but it is also a convention of horror films as it helps build tension and also causes the audience to be anxious as they wonder what will happen

The zombies that George R. Romero showcases in Night of the Living Dead (1968) now dominate the film industry as the prototype for the undead: the mindless corpse that is void of its prior consciousness. And the preferred food source of the undead has become like law for any pop-culture universe about zombies—even undead superheroes will eat people in the comic books from the Marvel Zombies series. As the prototypical zombie thought experiment, the Night of the Living Dead allows the audience to confidently respond to any questions about the undead’s identity, actions, or morality by referring to that void of

Warm bodies presents a post-apocalyptic setting filled with brain eating zombies. R, a zombie, is one of the main characters. R is naturally hungry for brains because he is zombie. However, when R sees Julie during an attack he doesn’t want to eat her brains, instead R as an urge to protect Julie from the other zombies. Throughout the movie R keeps falling in love with Julie. This strong love allows R to reobtain his prior humanity. Also this love spreads like a disease causing other zombies to also reobtain their humanity. Although regular zombies are getting better, there is still a large conflict presented by “Bonies”. Bonies are zombies that are so far past resurrection they aren’t affected by the love disease, which is spreading through

INTRO “What’s wrong with me? I just want to connect” Pretty ironic right? A dead teen, unable to speak, living in a zombie infested abandoned airport… wants to ‘connect’? Warm Bodies is a (literally) heartwarming romantic comedy, directed by Jonathan Levine. Filmed in a post-apocalyptic setting, it follows the story of R, a corpse who wants to overcome his state of alienation and unite humans and corpses.

Not only do Zombies raise disputes concerning consciousness, but they also raise questions about other elements of people. The philosophical zombie problem is one of the most compelling and nightmarish of all the philosophical problems. It cuts to the heart of how we relate to the world and how we relate to people, and it is obviously a very practical issue. While no one really believes that we are surrounded by clockwork people going through a set of motions as if they were a real person, we do very often relate to someone going through the motions of trying to help us when they have an insidious motive, or wonder how sincere someone else is when they say that “I love you.” It is an open neurological question as to whether or not something

Suspense is one of the biggest themes throughout the whole movie. The angles from the camera and the soundtrack of the film are the things that makes

This is taking a different route from what people know as the ‘traditional’ film style of fast-paced action and heroic characters. The ambiguity of the film allows the viewers to form their own impressions with the visuals and music given. Much like when one beholds a painting or listens to a music piece, written explanations are not needed. Each viewer perceives the film differently than the

Horror films are known for their ability to scare audiences, to get the audience’s hearts racing, their blood rushing. A good horror film will cause viewers to be on the edge of their seats and having their perception of reality distorted as they attempt to understand the unraveling plot of the horror film. The tone of the film aides in the amount of suspense that a horror film produces, since a much darker film will create a more suspenseful atmosphere than one that is more focused on campy monster makeup. But the tone of a film is determined by the sound of the film, or in other words, the score. Sound or music in a horror film, or the lack thereof, make the intense scenes and without the addition
