I have a feeling not many people here will enjoy this. The first half of the movie is a romance with not much dialogue and some dark sort of overtones, a gothic romance if you will. The second half is probably more appropriate for this site than virtually anything I post here.
There are many ways a movie can be bad, but one of the most stirking is when there is a serious architectural flaw in the whole concept. Imagine if you will if Black Sabbath performed "iron man" with the wrong notes so it sounded like circus music instead of evil. and you have to watch as they pound out the riffs to the opposite of their intended effect.
In this case, the whole doomed romance and love beyond the reaches of death becomes remarkable slapstick comedy. you wonder how on earth the actors didn't stop themselves from laughing. SOMEONE must have known that there was at least the POTENTIAL that the ultra serious tone could be undermined by the logistal problems involved with having a relationship with a zombie.
I think they actually could have pulled this off if they had taken a less straightforward approach, maybe had more ambiguity in the "is he really dead or is she just imagining it".
Instead it's "Zombie, I'm home!" .
other than this massive defect which sinks the movie, it was alright but not really my style and not terribly ambitious in that it is mainly a paperback type romance , albeit a GOTH one. It's still for middle aged ladies. some very nice music and scenery though.
