Peter Jackson's zombie masterpiece that is simply the goriest 'mainstream' movie ever made.
Lionel is a downtrodden mommies boy, dominated and humiliated by his overbearing Mother regularly. He is also falling in love with a saucy shopkeeper called Paquita.
Lionel decides to take Paquita to the zoo, only to discover that his mother has followed them but, happily, his mother gets bitten by a rat monkey that unbeknownst to them is infected with a deadly tropical disease that turns anyone infected into a slavering zombie.
Cue some hilarious scenes as Lionel tries to keep it quiet, uiltimately failing, and simply marvel at the lawnmower sequence as all hell breaks loose.
Gory, funny, irreverent ("I kick ass for the Lord"), this is an outrageously good horror movie.
Gore hounds, this is a must see slice of splatter gold.
