Yummy [Blu-ray]

Awesome movie

I was quite pleased with this movie. It strikes a good balance between funny, gory and mean, and the pacing is steady to keep you entertained throughout.Unhappy with her excessively ample chest, Alison (Maaike Neuville) is traveling to a shady Eastern European hospital specializing in discount plastic surgery for her breast reduction. Joining her is her supportive boyfriend Michael (Bart Hollanders) and her disapproving mother Sylvia (Annick Christiaens), who wants yet another facelift.We are introduced to this film’s gross sense of humor when a not-quite-roadkilled animal, with its innards exposed as it still squeaks, is run over (again) splattering across a man’s clothes and face. Between that and Sylvia’s incessant advice that Alison keep and treasure the “gifts” she was given duly inform the tone of the film.While Alison is getting her pre-surgery consultation and prep, Michael wanders an apparently unused wing of the hospital and encounters a patient bound to a hospital bed with a sort of muzzle over her mouth. When he frees the restrained patient, I’m reminded of the ending of Deadgirl (2008) signaling the zombie pandemonium to begin swiftly thereafter.A cautionary tale for the use of stem cell treatments, our Eastern European doctors at this facility are using stem cells to fuel research in rejuvenation. But, like what happened with Resident Evil’s (2002) or Rabid’s (2019) research, it ran afoul of flesh-eating monsters. Have movies like The Rejuvenator (1988) and Re-Animator (1985) taught us nothing?Quite gory with graphic fleshy bites, awesome guts work and squishy head trauma, this movie is a gore-slathered delight. We also enjoy a zombie eating its own intestines and leaking its own consumed ooze, a head gets crushed into chunky chunder chum, a man’s “you know what” gets lit on fire in a rather gross scene, a giant salamander is zombified, and there’s a lot of projectile vomit.Salamander SIDEBAR: You may be wondering why it is that there was a salamander in one of the labs. This may seem random to most viewers. But it’s actually a nice touch. Salamanders are the subject of much research in regeneration and evolutionary biology for their ability to regenerate surgically removed spinal vertebrae (among limbs and other things). This is no joke or exaggeration. In grad school, I took a class under a professor conducting such research and likewise had another EvoDevo salamander researcher on my graduate committee. So really, this zombie salamander was a surprisingly insightful touch.This movie does a good job cultivating awkward laughs. For example, when a recent amputee about to fall to his death reaches with his now-missing arm for help. For his first feature film, writer and director Lars Damoiseaux certainly succeeded at making me smile, wince, grimace and giggle at this gross zombedy. The movie packs a lot of gross effects, a consistent energy and pacing, and a mean ending.

The protagonist is a cute girl who goes to a shady hospital for a breast reduction surgery with her fiancé. The outbreak happens before she can have her surgery (yay 😁) and the whole rest of the movie is about her and a group of people trying to escape the hospital alive. Good zombies that are not too slow, and not too fast. Very enjoyable with an ending that will blow you away.

... you'll just have to see for yourself.For die-hard zombie film aficionados, this might be of interest. Otherwise, there isn't much here in terms to sustain interest through the whole movie.The elevator pitch must have been along the lines of, "It's like, 'Porky's,' only transposed onto the set of "Hostel.'" With that kind of a hook, you can imagine the idea must have sold it selfThe camp humor *groan* that we've come to expect from the zombie sub-genre just doesn't translate this far east of the Danube.

I saw this and since I’m into zombie films I thought I’d check it out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This movie is definitely unique!!!! It is definitely not for the squeamish!!! It’s a lovely addition to my ever growing horror movie collection.

Yummy is one of the best zombie flicks I've seen in years with one of the most messed up endings of any movie I've ever seen. The perfect blend of horror, action and comedy. The gore effects are off the hook and plentiful. Think Reanimator and Dead Alive. My faith in the genre has been restored! 5 stars.

If you were to split this movie into parts, I'd say it was 3/8ths horror, 3/8ths comedy, 1/8th romance tragedy, 1/8th over-the-top-gore (which I like). If you're looking for something like SERIOUS HORROR similar to The Ring or the 2013 remake of Evil Dead, then you're going to be slightly disappointed by the humor elements, which I mentioned were on par in equal parts with the scares. The story line was funny, somewhat run-of-the-mill for zombie movies, and basically not bad. I thought that the acting was outstanding. I thought that most of the special effects were pretty good but there were a few instances where the cgi just wasn't done well... what movie is that not true of though? I was surprised by the ending. Not going to spoil it but I wished it had been happier.Something that I didn't mind (but I know bothers some people) is that you do have to read parts of the movie. The vast majority of it is in English but since the movie takes place in an Easter Bloc country, certain scenes intentionally involve characters speaking in their native tongues. Like I said, this didn't bother me one bit, but I know that some out there might want to know this in advance. They pulled it off well.I've watched it twice so far and likely will do so a few more times.

I saw this movie on Shudder, twice. I liked it so much, I've bought on Blu-ray. It's one of the best horror/comedy gorefests I've seen in many years, really great stuff. Best since Dead Snow. It has great physical effects and minimal, if any, CGI. Kudos to the makers for old school effects. Happy Helloween!

and on thee box it says language English and Dutch very disappointedbut gore was awesome

Jag älskar zombiefilmer och jag vill ha verklighetstrogna effekter. Och jag blev inte besviken när jag såg den här filmen. Väldigt blodig är den. Jag undrar om inte filmmakarna har sett Död Snö eller Braindead (Dead Alive) för de är också väldigt blodiga. Här använde en person en zombies tarm som rep och det har jag sett det förr i Död Snö. Så jag rekommenderar den här filmen om ni gillar blodiga zombiefilmer.

Un peu tirè par les cheveux l'histoiremais ça se regarde...
