Such a frustrating disappointment
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
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.
The best thing about this was Samantha Mumba as a school girl.The plot A guy accidentally commits suicide after he thinks (wrongly) that Sammy does not want a bit of his snake. Then his dear ol' ma resurrects him with a voodoo book she happened to find in the church she was cleaning. He bites some one and they turn into a zombie but will the ma finds a cure can she save Nathan and cure the world before the end of the movie? The Acting. Samantha was great and it is pretty good for a comedy movie. For a horror movie I would give this negative marks as they were feeble. The zombies themselves were terrible with minimal make up. The effects Pretty dire, a little bit of blood her and there and some naff makeup. Comment. Feeble attempt to make an Irish Shaun of the dead. It is a very limp by the number comedy horror movie. Only worth renting to see Samantha Mumba as a schoolgirl. 6/10 for a comedy 4/10 for a horror movie
Summary: A mother brings her son, who died in a drunk accident, back to life using a voodoo ritual. The bad thing is, he develops a taste for human flesh.Review: Irish zombies, for a change. Fun to watch a high school lovers quarrel in a zombie environment. Of course the teens are played by actors in their mid-twenties, good old Melrose Place style. It's hard to tell, actually, if this movie takes place in Ireland or the US. I noticed back in 2002 that the Irish are getting more and more influenced by the yanks, it seems that trend continued. High school prom, cheerleaders etc. Better look to the UK for influence. Acting is OK, editing good, special effects very good. Especially the scene where Samantha Mumba takes down the zombies with a harvester - memorable! Btw, what's up with Samantha, it looks like she's growing a beard, dark shadows around her mouth.Highlight: The HarvesterNotable Actors: NoneGore Level: 4/5
This review contains minor spoilers.Remember Shaun Of The Dead? A funny zombie comedy with laugh out loud moments. Now here's Boy Eats Girl starring former teen pop star Samantha Mumba trying her hand at acting, and failing miserably. The movie follows 17 year old Nathan who is in love with Mumba's character Jessica. He's finally plucked up the courage to tell her and guess what? He dies.Coincidentally, Nathan's mum found a book of voodoo magic prior to his death. Fancy that! So she decides to resurrect him using a spell from the book. Big mistake love. Nathan comes back as a zombie, eating human flesh and whatnot and the zombie curse manages to infect his whole neighbourhood.Blatant rip-off of Shaun Of The Dead? Possibly. Okay, yes. But it's not all that bad. There are a few chuckles along the way and the makeup is pretty decent for a movie with such a limited budget. But other than that it's pretty damn awful.First of all, the title is majorly misleading. Boy does not eat girl. In fact, the boy doesn't even attempt to eat the girl. Despite being a zombie he only manages to bite one person and the scene in which it takes place is pretty dull anyway. I would highly recommend avoiding this at all costs, but if you are intrigued online stores are practically giving this away.http://ukmore.tk/
