Plot Summary
MAKE-OUT with VIOLENCE is a genre-bending tale of a boy trying to fulfill his unrequited love for a girl who has risen from the dead. It tells the story of twin brothers Patrick and Carol Darling, newly graduated from high school and struggling to come to terms with the mysterious disappearance of their friend, the bright and beautiful Wendy Hearst. When a drive through the countryside surrounding their suburban community leads to the discovery of Wendy's mysteriously animated corpse, the boys secretly transport the un-dead Wendy to an empty house in hopes of somehow bringing her back to life. As the sweltering summer pushes on, they must maintain the appearance of normalcy for their friends and family as they search for ways to revive the Wendy they once knew, or, failing that, to satisfy their own quests for love amongst the living and the dead.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Filled with clear, bright images and moments of skewed genius, this delicate debut effortlessly evokes those languid summer doldrums, when even a rotting girlfriend is better than no girlfriend at all.
Fresh: The film invests in spacey horror tropes one moment, plunges into absurdist adolescent angst the next and begs questions every step of the way, but just about holds together.
Fresh: Inventive without being twee, quirky without being overly Wes Anderson, and suffused with a late-adolescent sense of longing as palpably felt as it is understated.
Rotten: Make-Out with Violence is a horror movie given the generic low-budget art-movie treatment.
Customer Reviews
Great music, an unusual, sad zombie love story
Wow, a very interesting film. It has wickedly good soundtrack, apparently recorded by main filmmakers who also work as band members. It's sort of familiar but unique take on a high school romance genre with effective overlay of post-George Romero zombie film. The actress who plays the zombified "It" girl is absolutely gorgeous but she is apparently a grip (!?) for the production... sincerely amateurish, surprisingly well-made, heartfelt and kinda chintzy all at the same time. Too bad it is not offered in HD as the Blu Ray presentation seriously kicks butts.
