And so to this weeks offering, EAT BRAINS LOVE… I like the title, a play on eat pray love, that everyone in the world owned, it is directed by Timothee Chalomet's uncle Rodman Flender, Based on the 2013 book of the same name by Jeff Hart and is one of the DVDs that will to Michael with my spare region free dvd player… merry Christmas, mate.

Two high school opposites, stoner Jake Stephens and popular cheerleader Amanda Blake, become infected with a virus that turns them into zombie-like cannibals. They travel across the country looking for a cure. Cass, a teenage telepath, and her partner Tom work for a government agency charged with hunting and killing the infected. Cass develops feelings for Jake as they track the high schoolers. Tom dies in an attack, Cass turns against her agency and joins Jake and Amanda, forming a contentious love triangle as they journey forward, still searching for a cure.

5.2/10 on IMDB which isn’t bad

It is a 5/10 for me.

An annoying ending. It had moments but it was poor. The acting, the story, the obvious plot, I mean why have Jake and Cass have voice over but not Amanda? Why not at least take it to the conclusion? Wouldn't watch it again. It would be ok for some.
