Boy Eats Girl (2005)

Zombie movies are one of my favorite genres of movies. Some may say that zombie movies don't classify as their own genre, however, I respectfully disagree and tell them to go watch Transformers 2. Over the past few years I have seen many different portrayals of zombies, the living dead, and the interact with the remaining living population. "Boy Eats Girl" is a very interesting portrayal of the undead that is very similar in to the film "Zombie Honeymoon".
In "Boy Eats Girl" the main character Nathan is involved with a girl named Jessica who he claims to be in love with. In a strange turn of events, Nathan ends up dying but his mother resurrects him using voodoo magic (the plot is definitely not given as much attention as it probably should have been given). Everything seems fine until Nathan starts craving human flesh and infects one of his fellow classmates with an infectious virus that forces him to eat everybody around him. This causes the virus to spread and take over the town and infect anybody that comes into contact with one of the infected. This of course involves some very gory and gruesome zombie eating scenes with copious amounts of corn syrup and artificial flesh. Nathan takes it upon himself to try and save Jessica from his zombie classmates while his mother finds the cure for the zombie virus in the venom of a snake.
As previously mentioned this movie was incredibly poorly put together in terms of the plot and the plot development. It's pretty much left up to the viewer to find out everything connecting one event to the another, which is fine if you know a lot about zombie movies, like I do. Really the main thing that held my interest in this movie was the incredibly amount of gore and and bodies getting ripped apart. This movie had one of the best multiple zombie scenes I've seen (even better than the helicopter ripping the zombies to pieces in "28 Weeks Later") when Jessica attacks a group of zombies with a tractor and grain harvester which leaves body parts everywhere.
In conclusion, if you're a fan of a good gore-fest zombie flick, check out "Boy Eats Girl" for the gore, and the gore alone. Other than that there aren't many redeeming qualities present. "Boy Eats Girl" gets a 2.5/5.
