It happened in the little-seen My Boyfriend's Back (1993), and the concept of "undead boyfriend" is back again with Warm Bodies, a certifiably strange but quietly appealing "zombie rom-com" that's based on the novel of the same name by Isaac Marion.
Maybe cannibals can’t compete numerically with vampires in movies, but there have been plenty of them over the years—among the best-known Hannibal Lecter and Leatherface (or, to note a personal favorite, the dad played by Randy Quaid in Bob Balaban’s criminally underappreciated 1989 “Parents”).
Sharing the same bloodline as 1988's craftily fiendish thriller " Grandmother's House " and 1989's tasty horror-comedy "Parents" while arguably besting them both, "The Visit" preys upon the trepidations of viewers in regard to mortality and the often unpleasant process of aging.
Cemetery Man recalls Bob Balaban's 1993 feature, My Boyfriend's Back, but with a much nastier edge.
