Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
atinder This movie got the bad taste out of my mouth, after seeing blood car, this movie however is was fun movie.Even this movie had stereotype teens, who looked like they in mids 20's playing teens, if you can get past that. You end up really enjoying this movie.A boy declares his love for his girlfriend, only to die the same night. He is brought back to life by his mother, as a flesh-craving zombieI found this movie so-what Original, with mum bringing back her son after he killed himself.Also enjoyed some really decent funny moments, that work really well with the rest of the movie.There were some really good bloody messy scenes, which were fun to watch. 7 out of 10
MrGKB ...with the only thing of note about it being that it was made in Ireland, and given the over(t)ly earnest attempt to imitate American cinema/TV, its Gaelic origins hardly matter.If "Boy Eats Girl" really had a $5mil budget, the bulk of it must have gone to one of its ostensible leads, pop singer Samantha Mumba, who had a moment in the sun in a smallish part in the mostly-wretched 2002 remake of "The Time Machine," and apparently came away from the experience with the idea that she's an actress. She's not, and her casting in this bit of romzomcom dross is ample proof of that. She qualifies as a pretty face with a certain zaftig appeal, and, I'm sorry to say, not much more.The rest of the cast doesn't fare much better, and as is always the case, the blame must be placed squarely where it belongs, on the inept shoulders of the screenwriter, although I suppose the questionable efforts of a visionless director might also be to blame. The listless, threadbare plot, such as it is, focuses on a pathetic pretty boy who can't seem to score with the girl of his dreams and opts for suicide to relieve his miseries (apparently, he's never heard of masturbation). Mom resurrects him, though, thanks to a handy-dandy book of spells she's stolen from a nearby church, only she somehow overlooks a missing portion of the potion and ends up with sonny-boy as a slowly degenerating, infectious dead thingamabob who soon spreads the zombie meme to his classmates. The ensuing mayhem, delivered with all the finesse of a hamfisted school boy, features little in the way of hilarity, virtually no suspense, no horror, no pathos, and certainly nothing in the way of a fresh take on the genre. There's plenty of gore, which is eventually released in such paroxysms of spew and rubbery body parts that this viewer could only suspect that someone was trying desperately to make up for the paucity of everything that had gone before; none of it works on any level at all.I'd give "Boy Eats Girl" (said title, btw, being an insultingly brazen example of misrepresentation) an even lower rating if it weren't for a certain level of professionalism concealed within the thing. The cinematography is able, if derivative (pointless dolly shots that do nothing to advance mood or plot, for instance), and the sets and locations, costumes, and so on are miles ahead of most exploitation cheapies, but none of it is of any avail. The best intentions still end up you-know-where.Boredom viewing only. Utter waste of time otherwise.
Scarecrow-88 A restorator uses a book of voodoo(..created by missionaries excommunicated by The Church)she finds in the bowels of an old monastery to resurrect her son after he's accidentally hung in his bedroom. The ritual was performed incorrectly, setting off a zombie outbreak that ravages a city as those bitten become bloodthirsty, flesheating, soulless monsters attacking everyone in sight. The Irish take on the zombie genre, adopting a clever title, but little else in the movie is overly original. Zombie fans often put aside originality if they get their grue, and "Boy Eats Girl" does in fact deliver plenty of ultra-violence, but a good deal of said carnage occurs off screen. The film's highlight would have the be the showstopping splatterfest where Jessica(Samantha Mumba)gets inside her father's tractor and mows through an array of zombies, with blood and body parts scattered all over her yard. The film features a romantic subplot between lovelorn Nathan(David Leon), the one whose mom brings back from the dead, and Jessica, whose pops forbids her to see him. Nathan's pals Diggs(Tadhg Murphy)and Henry(Laurence Kinlan)also factor into the plot as humans running for their lives..soon finding themselves trapped in the loft of a barn with Jessica and Nathan(..who is fending off the gradual effects of his "illness", unlike others he seems to have the ability to fight off the zombie virus)as zombies collect below. Sara James is high school sexpot Cheryl with eyes on Nathan, whose boyfriend Samson(Mark Huberman)is the typical bullying brute who likes to punish our hero for catching her attention. Samson is the lead zombie, not unusual for the genre, and often heads the charge with a gaggle of the undead not far behind. Conor Ryan is Kenneth, a sleazy jerk who considers himself quite the ladies' man(..a gag involving oral sex with a girl he mistreats plays out as only the zom com can provide), causing mischief which works as a catalyst towards the rift between Nathan and Jessica. The use of a snake bite as it pertains to a possible cure for the virus is a bit hard to swallow, but the way the zombie outbreak is concocted in the film's plot, such a development seems only fitting.
some- I didn't expect an awful lot from this film, I sat prepared to just go along for the ride and take whatever enjoyment I could from the experience. Which is why I'm so surprised it left me quite this disappointed.There were one or two moments that aroused a vague smile, but it fell far short of anything I'd consider comedy. The acting was, for the most part, painfully wooden... movements so deliberate and self-conscious that you'd think you were watching the rehearsal... constantly jolting me out of the (generous level of) suspension of disbelief I was affording it.The plot was uninteresting, tired and boring. I felt nothing for any of the characters, they all could have been eaten or horribly killed and I wouldn't have cared in the slightest.This is a bad film, plain and simple. The only recommendation I'd give it is to someone I disliked.
