The zombies that keep popping up on the screen and the page these days symbolise everything from socio-economic oppression to technology-fuelled alienation, or so it is said.

The movie Warm Bodies, a No. 1 film at the United States box office, opens in Singapore on Thursday.
In it, British actor Nicholas Hoult is R, a boy who meets and falls hopelessly in love with a girl named Julie.
