The writer took the idea of Romeo and Juliet (the star-crossed lovers), set it in a dystopian future with Zombies and completely made it his own. <br /><br />It wasn't a beat by beat retelling. It was more taking a theme and running with it. I just liked the references to Romeo and Juliet. I thought it made it more fun.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-82409561822126659362013-08-01T11:42:50.269-04:002013-08-01T11:42:50.269-04:00I loved it too, Steph.

So cute, funny, warm, and the lead was amazing.. <br />It reminded me a little of Shawn of the Dead, which ranks up there as one of the best zombie flicks for me.
