From Belgium comes the extreme zombie comedy Yummy (2019) and the way you look at plastic surgery will never be the same. Alison (Maaike Neuville) and her mother are headed to an Eastern European hospital known for cheap plastic surgery. Her boyfriend Michael (Bart Hollanders) is along for the ride to make sure of her safety. It seems that Alison wants a breast reduction since she’s very self-conscious of her bosom and hates the look and stares that people have given her, her entire life. Her mother, on the other hand is just going to have yet another little something fixed on her.
Immediately when the three reach the hospital, Michael is
uneasy due to the shabbiness of the facility and the lack of professionalism
and cleanliness as he dropped out of medical school but still knows what “should”
happen. While Alison is being prepped
for surgery, Michael and a hospital worker just looking for a place to smoke up
discover a secret lab where a patient is tied up. Michael thinks the woman needs help and
releases her but not before discovering that her entire mouth is missing.
Unbeknownst to Michael, he has released a patient that had
some secret skin grafting down to her that made her one of the undead. As Michael tries to find Alison and get her
to safety, the hospital is soon overrun by the undead. Now Alison and Michael must find a way out of
the hospital with a small group of other patients and doctors before the undead
escape.
So, if you enjoy Peter Jackson’s Braindead or Sam Raimi’s
Evil Dead 2 then this film is definitely for you. It is an extreme gore filled comedy horror
film with heart yet entertains and is anchored by two strong lead actors but
also a huge supporting cast of “characters” that make a lot of the shenanigans
seem fresh and original (even when sometimes they are not). This is a great addition to the zombie films
that came before it and I hope more people get to see this film as Belgium has
a lot to offer the horror genre.
