Why I Want to See Warm Bodies

01/05/2013

I hope to hook readers within the first four minutes of my novels.

This movie, Warm Bodies, has hooked me in four minutes. It's based on the book by Isaac Marion. What do I get from this clip? I enjoy the humor and thrills. And then I understand the hero and empathize with him. All this happens in four minutes. I suddenly understand being a zombie.

I first saw the trailer (different from the video below) when I went to see the Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 movie. I plan to see this one.

Young adult style of movies don't usually interest me, but this one looks funny. You're right, it's got a strong hook.

I was completely taken by the trailer. Not a real zombie fan myself, but what a unique idea. I immediately emailed my friend who would totally love this and told her we were going to see it.

I'm with the others, I don't usually go for zombie or horror-ish movies, but this character is likeable enough that I'd watch more. Thanks for sharing, Brinda!

I saw this trailer when I went to see Breaking Dawn as well. The screen writers and director did their job well if they're hooking so many people who aren't normally into watching this sort of thing! :)

I, too saw the trailer at Breaking Dawn. Just fell in love with the premise and I'm really looking forward to this one!
