Signed up for a Netflix account the other day. So excited, going to watch all of the Children of the Corn movies. After doing a little questionnaire, Netflix came up with a list of movies they thought I would like. I came across the zombie movie Boy Eats Girl. I've heard of this movie before and the trailer looked promising along with the movie description. Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations. The movie is based in Ireland, which explains their Irish accents. Nathan, the leading man's mom Grace, works in her local church painting pictures. She stumbles along a hidden room filled with old statues of Christ and snakes slithering around.
While looking around the room that she has no business being in, she finds a book about ancient Voodoo. If you found a book about Voodoo, would you take it home or leave it alone? Personally, I would live it alone. I'm not messing with that shit. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. She decides to keep it cause you never know if you're gonna need a book about Voodoo anytime soon. Nathan hangs out with two other guys at school, Diggs and Henry. They're not really part of the popular crowd.
The popular girl Cheryl is a slutty bitch and the popular guy Samson is a douche bag jock. To put the cherry on top of that delicious sundae, Cheryl and Samson are boyfriend & girlfriend. How's that taste? Taste good? Then there's Jessica, the girl Nathan wants along with the rest of the guys in school. Don't know why, she's not that pretty. After Nathan hears made up stories about her fooling around and her not showing up to their little hangout. Nathan decides he wants nothing to do with her, seeing her in a car with another guy acting like she's giving him a blow job helped him make that decision. What do you do when you find out that the girl or guy you love is supposedly out fooling around with someone else? Get angry, punch a wall? Put on Titanic and cry your eyes out? Oh, that's what I do.
In Nathan's case, he gets drunk and tries to hang himself. Ha, like that's going to solve everything. His mom storms in knocking the chair out from under his feet, causing him to fall and break his neck. Lucky for Grace she stole that book of Voodoo. She performs a spell bringing Nathan back to life, not knowing the consequence that follows. You see, bringing someone back to life isn't always the best idea. When they're brought back from the dead they come back as zombies. The saying "What's dead should stay dead" fits perfectly in this situation. Seriously, haven't you seen Pet Cemetery!? This begins his quest to profess his Zombie Love for Jessica, which was kinda blah. I was expecting this movie to be a more raunchy version of My Boyfriend's Back. Another balloon popped.
He bites Samson in self defense and now he's a zombie and he goes off biting people, turning them. They get chased to the barn, trying to fight off the zombies and Nathan gets bitten by a snake that his mother threw at him. The snake venom was the cure and changed Nathan back to a human. That was kinda cool and kinda weird. The movie ends with Nathan finally getting what he really wanted, Jessica. Boy Eats Girl didn't live up to it's title. He didn't eat anyone, he didn't try to eat Jessica. They really should of called it something else. Besides being a let down of the type of zombie movie I wanted it to be, it wasn't terrible.
The acting was fairly decent, they all had Irish accents, huge turn on. It was pretty gorey which will make the gore hounds proud. And, they had some funny one liners that usually came from Nathan's friend Diggs. With my hearing aids, it sounded like his name was Dicks. If you like gorey zombie movies then I suggest Boy Eats Girl. If you're looking for a awesome zombie movie to own, find something else. This movie was a one time watch only. Two if I'm really bored and I can't find something better. I give this movie 2 1/2 out of 5 Skulls.
