Jake (Jake Cannavale) is a bit of a nerd and not exactly the most
popular guy at his high school - and he's secretly in love with Amanda
(Andelique Rivera), who's very high up in the popularity chart and thus is
sort-of dating the top jock of the school. So basically, the two have
nothing in common - until one day in the cafeteria they attack their
fellow students, bite them to death and feed on them before making a hasty
escape ... and suddenly they have to realize they're both zombies, and the
only good thing about this is that their condition only comes to the fore
occasionally. Thing is, zombie hunters Tom (Jim Titus) and Cass (Sarah
Yarkin) are on their tail, so they have to skip town and either find a
cure or go into hiding - which is a bit of a problem because Cass is a
telepath. But Cass starts to have feelings for Jake, which buys our
fugitives some time. Rather by accident, Jake and Amanda find abode with
a couple of lesbian zombies (Kristin Daniel, Kym Jackson), who give them
some pointers as to how to survive as a zombie and not kill everyone in
sight, but soon enough they're on the run again - and start to have
feelings for one another ... which really throws Cass off, as she wants
Jake for herself - and this is where things get complicated ... Eat,
Brains, Love might not be the re-invention of the wheel as such, but
it does offer a new approach to the zombie genre, combining it with
elements of road movie and high school romance, and in approach it's
actually rather hilarious, delivering the scares with as many laughs,
without ever going for moronic or purely gross-out humour. And a solid
cast and subtle direction make this a very enjoyable genre movie.
