Summary 
R is a zombie who can't remember his name or his former life. He goes through each day the same way, barely moving, and barely communicating with his fellow zombies. When he saves Julie, a human girl, from his fellow zombies, though, he begins to fall in love with her. As they spend more time together, R begins to develop more human characteristics, but to all of the humans except Julie, he is still seen as a threat.

Evaluative comments 
This movie is extremely hilarious and entertaining. In addition to this, parts of it are also very sweet, as the romance between R and Julie begins to develop. It preserves a lighter tone for the most part, and its twist on the traditional zombie genre is refreshing and captivating. Balancing romance, horror, humour, and the paranormal, this movie has a wide appeal.
