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. Set against the backdrop of a summer of cicadas and melty milkshakes, the film blends elements of up-beat teenager melodrama with the strange gravity of classic coming of age stories. 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 bright and beautiful friend Wendy. When a drive through the countryside surrounding their posh suburban community leads to the discovery of her bizarrely animated corpse, the boys secretly transport the zombie Wendy to an empty house in hopes of somehow bringing her back to life. At once humorous and tragic, this odd tale offers a fresh perspective on the supernatural and a heartfelt look at the sorrow of loss and the pain of growing up.
