KC Horrror Club Movie Outing

Warm Bodies

Details: 
February 9, 2013 2:00pm (Time subject to change, check Facebook)  

Hey everybody!

Let's get together for a Horror Club pre-Valentine's day movie. We will meet in the theater lobby approximately 45 minutes before the movie start time. I will adjust the time once the movie schedule is posted. 

Synopsis:

A funny new twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world. © Summit
