Live Love Eat Die
When an obnoxious, meathead womanizer tricks his vegan Tinder date into eating meat,
he unleashes something not quite human.
Vegans are SOOOO annoying. Am I right?
When muscle and meat luvin’ Preston first swiped right for Charlotte on Tinder, it was due to her bikini photos. Who cares about profiles, this brunette’s ‘kini rocked!
But in Michael Kospiah’s Live Love Eat Die, best laid plans go awry quick. For this (initially) romantic pair, the schism starts as soon as they arrive at their cozy, discrete table and dive into ordering their meal. Turns out, this duo are an odd couple from the get-go:
CHARLOTTE
See anything good?
PRESTON
Probably go with the bacon cheeseburger...
extra bacon.
CHARLOTTE
Hmm.
Preston looks across to her, curious.
PRESTON
What?
CHARLOTTE
Nothing.
(beat)
I’m vegan. But it’s cool, I’m not like one of them annoying vegans.
PRESTON
Why would anyone be a vegan?
CHARLOTTE
I actually run a rescue farm.
A rescue farm? Preston doesn’t even know what that is. And after Charlotte fills him in, Preston’s instinctive response doesn’t help their chemistry along.
PRESTON
What exactly do they do there?
CHARLOTTE
I make sure they live long, happy lives.
They usually come from abusive homes, often neglected.
Preston pats on his stomach.
PRESTON
Send ‘em over to me,
I’ll give ‘em a happy home.
Uh, maybe it’s a just a hunch… but this is one hook up that ain’t gonna work.
Things get worse when an ever more irritated Preston makes a deal with their snotty, goth server to play a trick on Charlotte, substituting her Impossible Burger for… well… the real deal!
Hysterically witty, right? Well, no. Charlotte may be wholesome and cute with scorching abs, but things get extremely ugly and gross from there. So much so Preston’s traumatized before the night wraps up.
But then – he’s still got his girlfriend to lean on (yep, the burger-switch should’ve been a clue… Preston’s THAT kinda cheatin’ guy.)
Even if you’re vegan, we guarantee you’ll chew your nails at what happens next. ‘Cause what Preston’s released with his practical joke is about to come back and bite HIM. Big time!
Live Love Eat Die is everything a director could ask for in a horror. Dive in, and bite off all you can chew. ‘Cause this Tales from the Crypt style gem has jump scares. Gross outs. Dark humor… and an ending that’ll have you coming back for (soy) dessert!
