Reviews
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Claudio Carvalho The restorer and single mother Grace (Deirdre O'Kane) is working in an ancient church and she finds a hidden crypt with a voodoo book of resurrection. However, Father Cornelius (Lalor Roddy) asks her to go home and forget her findings.Her son Nathan (David Leon) is a sensitive and shy teenager bullied by Samson (Mark Huberman) at school. He has a crush on his friend Jessica (Samantha Mumba), but he does not declare to her. His best friends Diggs (Tadhg Murphy) and Henry (Laurence Kinlan) schedule a date of Jessica with Nathan. However her father grounds her in her bedroom and when Nathan calls Jessica, her father tells that she has dated a good looking guy in a car.Jessica flees through the window, but Nathan and Jessica fail to meet each other. Jessica takes a ride in Kenneth's car and Nathan believes that she is dating the schoolmate. He goes home, drinks whiskey and puts a rope around his neck. When Grace comes home, she opens Nathan's bedroom door and accidentally she hangs her son. Grace resurrects Nathan, but soon she finds that something did not work out when her son bites Samson and his schoolmates start eating each other. "Boy Eats Girl" is an unoriginal Irish comedy about a group of zombies that are not living dead, but teenagers infected by the bites of their schoolmates that follows the American style with Irish accent. This B- movie entertains, but is not funny enough for a comedy or frightening for a horror movie. The lead actress is miscast for the role of Jessica and the slut Cheryl is never naked along the story; therefore one of the basic rules of a B-movie is broken. But there are also funny dialogs that make laugh. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not Available
shtove Pretty good comedy-zombie-teen thingie.The soundtrack is all US adolescent angst, but doesn't create horror/suspense effects. The production is fairly high quality. The characters are built up nicely in a steady first 30 mins.Major problem is that the director has no clue how to deliver a jump. Several opportunities were fluffed, and although there was decent gore the horror element was missing.I think there were problems with the screenplay as well - maybe fewer characters could have delivered the same story and tightened it up, made it more satisfying. Plus Samantha Mumba is a honey, but she doesn't get any good lines.The humour was goodish, with two LOL moments. The guy on the toilet bowl saying hello when the hero breaks down the toilet door with one blow of his fist. The best was with the blond bitch (Sara James) hiding in the closet with two guys: "I think we should stay here till dawn. Doesn't sunlight kill them or something?" "That's vampires." "There's vampires too?" The comedy sidekicks played their parts well, so you will have a smile on your face.I straight horror, but this was enjoyable.
joemamaohio Not quite as good as "Shawn of the Dead," but still not too shabby.In Ireland, young go-nowhere teen Nathan pines for upper-class best friend Jessica, but is too nervous to show his true feelings. It takes his two friends, Diggs and Henry, to force the two to meet privately.A severe misunderstanding occurs, and Nathan is more distraught than ever. That night, in a drunken stupor, he decides to end his life.His mother, who works at the local church, comes home and finds him dead, then uses a book she found at the church to bring him back to life. But, of course, there's one little glitch in her plan...He now has a thirst for blood.He gets into a fight with a fellow schoolmate and ends up biting him, turning him into an undead. While Nathan can contain his blood lust, the person he bit cannot, and he goes to infect the entire town. Now Nathan needs to get to Jessica before it's too late."Boy Eats Girl" is a refreshing move away from the traditional zombie movies. First of all, Nathan isn't a brain dead bloodthirsty zombie...but in actuality still a teenager, who still has feelings and coherent memories. Also, there is a cure for the people who've been turned, unlike most zombie movies where there is no cure. Finally the subtext of the forlorn love between Nathan and Jessica just adds to the entertainment value of the film.Sure, it's no Oscar-worthy movie, but it's definitely worth a watch.
some-user 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.
