background
Derek Landy commissioned Element Films for the script "Zombie Love" in the 1990s. In January 2003 it fell into the hands of director Stephen Bradley. Filming lasted until 2004. Boy Eats Girl was funded by the Irish Film Board and the Isle of Man Film Commission. The splatter effects were created by Bob Keen , who had also created the effects for the film Hellraiser - The Gate to Hell .
The film was initially not rated by the Irish Film Classification Office because it contained a suicide scene. Ultimately, however, the scene did not have to be shortened and was approved for ages 15 and over.
In Germany, the film was released in 2007 as an uncut FSK16 version. However, an FSK18 version with the same content is also in circulation.
Reviews
A year before the release of Boy Eats Girl , the similar horror comedy Shaun of the Dead was released , so that the film was repeatedly compared to this reference work. Parts of the film are obviously based on Peter Jackson's braindead .
“A little original attempt at a zombie comedy in the wake of the sub-genre that relies on tried and tested gags. The drawing of the Irish school environment is surprisingly believable. "
