8/10
Comedy-Horror at it's best !
15 March 2010
Lionel Cosgrove ( Timothy Balme ) is a shy dude in his twenties who has lived his entire life under the protective wings of his mother. This one day he's off to get groceries and meets this pretty girl who is the clerk at the grocery store. They soon have a date and are heading for the Zoo. Lionel's over protective mom has her thoughts about her son's new love affair so she follows her son to keep an eye them. But the zoo has a new addition a rare animal called a "Rat Monkey". Before she knows it she is bitten. After a day or two the wound has killed Lionel's mother but turns her into a flesh eating zombie. And this is where the fun starts. This flick just has it all. Over the top horror-comedy. You get to see zombies getting it on and giving birth to a zombie baby ! Now how cool is that. You'll get to see a zombie ass kicking kung-fu priest, intestines which can kill, a huge big momma zombie, a zombie with a spine in his ass with the head still attached so it looks like a scorpion zombie, a zombie with her face stuck onto a light bulb so she looks like a jack-o-lantern, a group of zombies getting ripped to pieces by a land mower, and many more which I will not spoil for you. Yes people this is a gore fest you'll never forget !

It's hard to believe that the director of the Oscar winning series "The Lord of The Rings" is behind this all but he is. And to be honest, it works. This movie if very entertaining and I promise, you wont be left disappointed. While this movie can't weight up to the great Special FX you have nowadays, it's way more fun then most of the Hollywood big budget blockbusters.

This movie is a must see for Comedy-Horror fans, but in my opinion everyone should see this one at least once !
