After a good start thanks in part to young Beetles narration, and the scenes around the memorial when the friends recollect their memories with Wendy. Then when they find her it turns to *beep* and plot feels aimless (like a poor man's variant of Deadgirl & Deadly Friend)

I agree, the first 30 minutes or so kept me interested, then when they find her I found it very hard to watch and struggled through it, then I hoped the ending would save the next hour of boredom I had, but nope it left me wondering what I had just watched.

The whole film reeks of pretension. It has this generic indy soundtrack blaring across every scene, and everyone mumbles in short, hushed, monotoned sentences. It's like some Wes Anderson/Spike Jonze wannabe tried to make a zombie flick.
Deadgirl (which is the movie this film shamelessly rips off) is better in every possible way.

How can "Make-Out with Violence" shamelessly rip off "Deadgirl" if it has a release date 5 months previous to it? DG is September 2008 / MOWV is April 2008.
shareRelease dates mean squat.
Deadgirl just had a longer production period.

Deadgirl Production Dates: May 2007 - June 2007
Make-out with Violence Production Dates: August 2005 - December 2006
Make-out was made piecemeal over the course of three shoots with a script WGA-registered in 2004. It was in Post before Deadgirl was even shot. Deadgirl had a single Production period in 2007. Both were at festivals in 2008 (April & Sept), a little over a year after completion of their Productions.
It wasn't a rip off of Dead girl. And I thought it was a pretty great film from start to finish. Especially after they find Wendy. It started off like a David Gordon Green film(or at least his early work) and went from there. Great little picture.
