Zombies, Punk Rock, and Brian Austin Green: Everything About ‘Eat Your Heart Out’
Get ready for a cinematic cocktail of chaos, music, and mayhem. Brian Austin Green, best known for his iconic role in Beverly Hills, 90210, is diving into a project that is far from the glitz and glamour of California suburbs. He has joined the ensemble cast of ‘Eat Your Heart Out’, a bold new indie feature that blends the horror of a zombie apocalypse with the energy of a musical comedy.
A Plot Inspired by Real-World Madness
Directed and written by Taylor Morden, Eat Your Heart Out takes us to a small town on the brink of excitement. The community is gearing up to host a massive music festival, but the party takes a dark turn when a dangerous new party drug—inspired by real-world headlines involving bath salts—starts circulating among the youth.
While the drug promises an exhilarating high, the side effects are anything but pleasant. Users are plagued by uncontrollable rage, superhuman strength, and an insatiable craving for human flesh. As the town transforms into a feeding ground for flesh-eating demons, the story follows best friends Jules (Tania Raymonde) and Rory (Breanna Yde), who are just trying to get their punk band to perform their first major gig.
An All-Star Ensemble Cast
Beyond the presence of Brian Austin Green, the film boasts a diverse and talented cast that brings a mix of veteran experience and fresh energy to the screen. The ensemble includes:
- n
- Tania Raymonde (Lost, Goliath)
- Jesse Rath (Supergirl)
- Emily Kimball (Dexter: Resurrection)
- Breanna Yde (School of Rock)

- Steve Agee (Peacemaker)

Practical Effects and Indie Spirit
In an era of heavy CGI, Eat Your Heart Out is returning to the roots of cult cinema. Director Taylor Morden, who previously helmed the documentary The Last Blockbuster, has emphasized the use of practical effects to give the zombies a tangible, gritty feel.
Morden describes the project as a “love letter” to the movies he used to rent from local video stores, combining absurd comedy, heart-felt friendship, and “rad” musical numbers. The film was shot over five weeks in and around Eugene, Oregon, and is currently in post-production.
For those who enjoy the blend of music and horror, this film promises to be a unique ride. You can check out more about the cast’s previous work on IMDb to see how their diverse backgrounds will clash in this zombie-infested musical.
