Eat Brains Love

I searched for Best zombie comedies on Google and in one website this movie was on top. Because it got 100% rating in rottentomatoes. So, I started to watch the film. It started in a good way because it's idea was very good. But at the end it became a forgettable film for me. Mainly because no character is likable here specially the character of Sarah Yarkin, the NBC girl. Her character was the most irritating and illogical. Also male lead acted very badly. Most of the jokes didn't work. Only you'll see zombies eating lots of fleshes, that's all. Finally, this movie could've been much much better with the same IDEA. If you're a Zombie movie lover you CAN WATCH it FOR ONCE. Available on MUBI. © MandalBros.

Zombie movie in a comedy wasn't that many, but this totally screw up as nothing funny. Just boring and bloody eating parts are the only reason I rate 3. Expect it's a comedy but it's not.

This is not new, but at the beginning it does feel quite fresh. Throughout there are some fine zingers and dialogue lines, but it never really achieves or reaches hights that would put thin in another league. It's a fun little movie though and if you are a fan of comedy and horror combined (I know some despise that formula), than you will be satisfied. Having said that, do not expect any super acting or big effects (though for the budget this had, it looks at least ok). If you're down with that, just have ... fun

I loved the film! That other critic doesn't proofread his reviews, therefore his review is void. You've got to be good at what you do before you critique someone else's work.

Eat Brains Love Directed by Rodman Flender. Written by Mike Herro and David Strauss Sometimes you can just tell when somebody who is far outside of the teenage realm writes and makes a movie trying to be cool and hip with those kids. Yeah here we are with the film equivalent of the Steve Buscemi meme. I do admire the effort to make this flow with hyperactive energy. There is style to spare and that is impressive in a subject matter picked over to death. Eat Brains Love is about two teenagers, one who has a crush on the other who become zombies and embark on a road trip while being chased by a governmental agency filled with psychics and trigger happy agents as they find an underground community of zombies trying to live their lives. It's your standard issue road trip teen comedy and it also isn't one of those. Naturally the guy is a pot smoking loser who can't bring himself to tell the girl how he feels. Naturally she's the popular cheerleader with the quarterback bully as his boyfriend. All standard issue boilerplate stuff up to this point. Now how you become a zombie in this film is very different than in previous zombie flicks. You become a zombie through sex. Much like the slow moving, always persistent ghosts of It Follows, it passed through sex. They don't really do much with this other than make a few jokes. The jokes provide some chuckles but mostly groans because it is trying entirely too hard. It is filled with people doing silly things for a joke and it hits those beats you've seen before. It is a fairly short film although not as short as Puppet Master:Doktor Death(59 minutes). It doesn't wear out its welcome but you can also tell it doesn't have much story to tell either. I will say it has a strange opinion on women. They don't seem to have much beyond falling for the stoner. The psychic chasing them and his cheerleading crush. They exist only as it pertains to the stoner character. This is fine, I suppose but it would have made it a more interesting film to flesh them out. They have to be more than archetypes to feel real and the jokes will land more in that way. The performances are all good. Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul knows how to do smarmy like nobody's business. He is always a welcome sight on screen for me. Sarah Yarkin was a pleasant presence. She has some comedic chops and she was better here than in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It does revel in the gore. It has plenty of intestine chomping for anybody who enjoys that. The make up effects work but then again they aren't called on to do much. This movie is fine. It serves its purposes. It doesn't do anything that hasn't already been done and you might not be annoyed by the characters. This is available to watch for free on FreeVee and Tubi. Tubi is a veritable wonderland of a streaming service. I give this movie a C.

It has no ending. Jokes are good. Budget is great! Horror and acting are okay. But. No ending, woulda been an 8/10 if it had an ending. Fun but dumb.

The bad dad joke in the title tells you the level of humor to expect. Sarah Yelkin from "Happy Death Day 2" is the big draw here. The big problem is that this movie suffers in comparison to the films it tries to copy. "Warm Bodies" did the zombie romance way better. "Ahh Zombies" did the zombie perspective better. "Cooties" did schoolyard carnage better. This film sets gore at about 7 and humor at 3. It pales in comparison to it's predecessors. Still, it's not a total wash. Get drunk with your friends and you can still have fun riffing on the cheesy scenes. I did sit through the credits...so I knew who to blame. This brings nothing new to the table. It's not one to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

Cheerleader Amanda Blake (Angelique Rivera ) and stoner Jake (Jake Cannavale ) catch a zombie STD and have lunch at the school cafeteria. It isn't long before they are on the run. They are being tailed by a psychic named Cassandra (Sarah Yarkin) who was more fun than Forest Whitaker. There are several pop culture references. I enjoyed the dark comedy and dialogue and laughed for much of the feature. Niche audience. If you like this one, check out "Night of the Living Deb." Guide: F-word. sex. Fake male nudity.
