Boy Eats Girl

Boy Eats Girl is a 2005 horror-comedy film directed by Stephen Bradley and starring Samantha Mumba, produced and shot in Ireland.

Grace's son, Nathan, attends the local high school with his friends Henry and Diggs.

Meanwhile, Henry and Diggs, fed up with Nathan not asking out Jessica, force the pair to meet after school.

Just as he dismisses the idea, Grace enters and knocks over the chair Nathan is standing on, causing him to be hanged.

Grace returns to the church and performs a ritual from the book, which brings Nathan back to life.

The ritual seems to have gone well, despite Nathan not remembering what happened, however Father Cornelius soon warns Grace that the book was damaged and those who are resurrected by it have the urge to eat human flesh.

At school, Nathan hears Kenneth lying about what happened with Jessica the previous night to Samson and another friend, Shane.

At night, everyone heads to a school disco, where Nathan soon becomes more zombie-like and bites Samson before returning home.

Jessica is attacked by zombies in her house, including Samson, but she overpowers them and manages to escape.

Director Stephen Bradley cast Deirdre O'Kane, his wife, over her objections that she was too young to convincingly play the mother of a teenager.
