Peter Jackson master of subversive comedy presents the story of a hapless young man whose overbearing mother gets him into a heap of trouble when she catches a bizarre zombie virus and starts turning innocent passersby into walking corpses. This grandiose splatterfest features loads of unforgettable stomach-turning effects. Highlights include a ghoulish bloodthirsty baby zombie mutilation progressive putrefaction and an off-the-wall undead mating scene.
