Warm Bodies has been described as "doing for zombies what Twilight did for vampires," which I assume means the zombies therein will take their shirts off a lot and fight homoerotically over some whiny bitch both of them are way better than. Okay, so it's technically cheating as the film isn't out until early next year, so bite me (not in the brains). "You wanted a Beast?! Well I'm the real McCoy! Oh, just IMDB me already." Nicholas Hoult as "R" in Warm Bodies (2013) On the way he falls under the influence of a director who is delighted to be able to put a real zombie in her zombie film, as well as a whole host of men who want to test just how stiff Otto is by bedding him, discovering too late that his taste in men is actually a taste FOR men.Ĭrisfar dominates the movie with a vulnerable performance (well, as vulnerable as someone who fucks/eats/fucks again his lovers can be), and you can sense the real sadness behind those pallid eyes every time he fails to realize "beefcake" is an expression.Ģ. Otto is a zombie whose last memory is of sexing up his boyfriend, so he goes on a cross country trek to find his lost love. In other words, it's a cross between a zombie film and a hardcore gay porno.īelgian actor Jey Chrisfar toplines as the titular Otto, a nice enough young man who wakes up on a highway with a) no money b) no clothing and c) no pulse. Like all his films, Otto is a mix of a legitimate genre piece and… masculine adult entertainment. He is Dead People though.Ĭanadian director Bruce LaBruce, upon seeing that seemingly everyone with a camera, some Halloween makeup, and the ability to groan "braaaiins" was making a zombie opus, hopped on the undead bandwagon in 2008 with this charming little film. The one on the bed is neither Otto, nor Up. Jey Crisfar as Otto in Otto Or, Up With Dead People (2008) Even if you do find a fresh-ish zombie you wouldn't mind getting fresh with, the bits you like will almost certainly fall off in the heat of passion (and if you're really unlucky, lodge in you, prompting an "I fell on it in the shower" ER visit).ġ. Then there's the whole smell factor: gasses emitted by corpses include Putrescine, Cadaverene and Repugnine, a clue that they're not exactly being bottled and marketed as Calvin Klein's new must-have fragrance. As walking corpses, zombies tend not to be included very often when erotic fantasies come to mind (excluding those of certain morticians and senior Republican senators). This year we've picked a somewhat daunting monster to find attractive. Now, PIC's resident mad scientists-Andrei, the Washingtonian oncologist who looks like a TV wrestler, and me, the Aussie entomologist who prefers to pin and spread hot guys over insects-are tackling the Top 5 Sexiest Male and Female Zombies. They're baaaa-aaack! For the past three Halloweens Andrei Trostel and I have tackled cinema's most voluptuous vampires, washboard-abbed werewolves, and wellsome witches.
