He was a teenage zombie, forced to fight his urges to feast vs his need to be accepted by his peers. He goes to high school but is forced to move constantly as he keeps turning schools into legions of zombies. He keeps falling in love but when he becomes intimate (eats her brains) and she turns into a zombie like him he loses interest. Then he meets 'The One' and must fend off other zombies to protect her. She exudes teenage angst but in the end, chooses zombie life to be with him. He is eventually forced to walk a lonely road with his dad through an apocalypse of epic proportions, still searching for his one true meal, his mom.
I was talking to someone else recently and we mentioned the rise in the zombie flicks as of late...just wondering if it is a push in that direction or just a coincidence.
