Eat, Brains, Love

This film sounded bad but turned out a lot better then expected. Had some funny and very bloody moments. If you can stand some gore then this one is for you.

This movie is aimed at a younger crowd than me, I'm sure. But, it's pretty good for the type of movie that it is. A slightly fresh angle on the zombie theme with pretty good acting effects. They left the ending kinda open it seemed like to me. Possibly hoping for a sequel? If it looks like something you would enjoy, you probably will.

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.

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.

A zombie movie, check. And I am there, as I am drawn to anything even remotely zombiesque.

However, this 2019 movie titled "Eat Brains Love" from writers Mike Herro and David Strauss just wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable movie when it comes to zombie movies. Sure, it was watchable, but that was also about it. I can't claim to think that director Rodman Flender really made anything worthwhile from what was readily available in form of script and characters.

The movie's storyline was straightforward, albeit rather generic. It didn't really offer much of anything extraordinary. And the thing with the characters being able to switch between human and zombie states was just downright stupid, and it was something that definitely didn't appeared to me in the least.

I will say that the acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the limitations imposed from the script and storyline.

The movie did have sufficient gore to make it worthwhile to sit through, which actually counts for something, I suppose. And the special effects in the movie were adequate - but not top of the line for a zombie movie.

I managed to sit through the movie, although this is hardly a movie that I would recommend that you spend your time, money or effort upon. There are far better zombie comedies and zombie romance movies readily available.
