Very subjective post to start with.
i have seen it this weekend ond amazon, and i really loved it. i can't really agree that it was twilight with zombies, for two reasons: first - twilight was a piece of crap and i hated it so much, i refused to watch allmovies that came after the first - and even the first was a tour de force. so i can't actually tell if there are similarites with the other twilight movies.
second- twilight was intended for young girls, if i'm correctly informed. This one however, had no target audience. take me for example-35 year old guy, comic book lover, sc-fi addict, horrorjunkie, western-afficinado, and i enjoy my whisky with a good drama movie. you see - i have a very broad range of genres and movies that i like. same goes for zombie movies. perhaps i'm a bit biased here, cause i love zombie and vampire movies, and actually, trashy b movies are in my favour over big budget production that only care for cgi.
ok - about the moral point: it really depends on how old you are, at what point you ar ein your life, or what matters to you at a given moment. to me, the whole lovestory was just a byproduct, to keep the story going and deliver some observations about todays culture, and mankind in general. i couldn't care less about if the lived happily ever after or not. teenage roamnce wasn´t even my cup of tea when i was a teenager. but the implication here is very strong. the zombies in this movie are clearly a mirror to us, the real world. how we behave, and how distracted and disconnected we are from life, art, love, others. it would have been blunt to tell people with a raised index finger: it's not hmkay to stare all day into your phone screen, hmkay. instead they wrapped the message into a nice funny zombieflic. way more efficient. i laughed a lot at severl scenes and comments that r gave from the off, some were smart, others obvious. but all in all - it was one of the best zombie movies i have seen, which actually had nothing to do with zombies. it was just an Aesopian fable. Give it a try aagin and look at it as a kind of meta reflection on society. it's really not a teenage romance.
