Warm Bodies (2013) - Love and Monsters

Closing out our series of Love and Monsters (which we did in honor of both After Midnight and Sadistic Intentions being released on Valentine's Day) is Warm Bodies!  After covering such amazing films as Spring and The Shape of Water, Warm Bodies might seem like a bit of an odd choice.  But, despite the fact that the marketing of the movie has gotten it lumped into the likes of Twilight, Warm Bodies is a genuinely good movie that blends indie romance tropes and zombie symbolism of loss of humanity (albeit a bit to on the nose at times), with a dash of classic literature...not to mention a solid soundtrack, some dry humor, and just enough social commentary to keep the movie still relevant today (even though each of these things are, again, a bit on the nose sometimes). Video Monsters is brought to you by the Chattanooga Film Festival and Central Cinema in Knoxville, TN. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, or online at chattfilmfest.org and centralcinema865.com Links for each of these can also be found on our pages, so be sure to follow us at videomonsterpod on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well.  Chattanooga Film Festival 2020 will be April 16-19, so start planning your trip now!!
