Not only are there some nice and scary bits scattered throughout the anthology, there are also some of the most bizarre and mind-boggling short films I've ever seen.
The film does a good job accentuating Daniel's emasculation and possible psychological break before firmly establishing an otherworldly influence on the events in the house.
There's a lot to like here just in the concept alone, but the combination of Levine's clever script and Hoult's heartfelt performance that really brings Warm Bodies home.
Of course there are booby-traps galore, tons of gore, and a strange guest-appearance by Alphas' Erin Way as the freaked-out Stockholm Syndrome victim Abby.
It all goes a bit off the rails as it steamrolls towards an action-packed conclusion involving more Nazi killing, a race against time, an impending nuclear strike, and some weird pseudo-science and occult madness.
I also found it refreshing that in a zombie film landscape that thrives on an atheistic nihilism, [REC] 3: Genesis expands on the idea of the previous films that the zombies are a demonic infestation.
