Boy Eats Girl Reviews

the premise of this movie is slightly different and at least different enough to warrant seeing especially if you are a fan of zombie movies.

a bunch of highschool kids falling in love and bullying each other. love triangles. mistaken moments. typical stuff. then a boy who thinks he is scorned is hanged (sort've hangs himself). his mother who happened upon a secret religious text about reincarnation uses the spell to revive her son. but he is revived as a zombie and zany fun killing ensues zombie style. he bites another guy and he another....zombies zombies everywhere! and they the new quick style zombies with a bit of humor. the uninfected fight back and eventually a love story etc.

there an unfortunately blandness to all of this. the gore, the comedy, the drama, the subplots are all lost in a movie that just drags more than it excites. and its a shame. theres nothing distinctly wrong with the film. the acting is ok, the filming ok, the plot decent, the comedy is a bit flat but not bad (like dead and breakfast). it just takes to long to do anything and what it does do isn't enough to revive it. in the end you're left with a decent movie worth a watch but nothing you'll be excited by, moved by, nor anything you'll come back to watch again.

the worse thing about this movie is that it had so much potential and wasn't able to capitalize on it. oh well. give it a viewing its worth one for something different.
