Eat Brains Love

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.

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.

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.

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

Or that is how it seemed.

this zom-com was typical. average jokes, average cgi, average acting, average kill shots. i was getting into it and was excited to see what was about to happen... when all the sudden the credits started rolling.

hmmm sequel? or sopranos ending?
