This is both the funniest and the goriest horror movie I have ever come across. It's also the _only_ horror movie my wife will watch (we own the DVD and have watched it together multiple times). Not for the squeamish!

**A disgusting movie. Not recommended after meals.** What can I say after seeing this movie? Guess I shouldn't have seen this after dinner. The film is disgusting, perhaps one of the most disgusting I have ever seen. I say this for the worst reasons. It really is a film that makes you vomit due to the images and situations it presents to us. It doesn't scare us, it never scares us. And no, it never makes us laugh, so it's not a comedy. It's a piece of cheese, but full of mold. The film relies heavily on special effects and makeup to work, so we can't expect great performances from the cast or a solid script. The story is banal, and centers on an elderly woman who turns into a flesh-and-blood-devouring zombie, and her difficult relationship with her son. I don't feel, therefore, encouraged to talk about the cast or any of the actors, as each of them is amateur and unhappy in the work they do. For all this, I have doubts that the film has been seen in many cinemas outside English-speaking countries. I believe that fans of gore-laden horror will have some good reasons to like this movie. It also seems safe to me to say that certain audiences will appreciate the attempts at black humor that are rehearsed. However, I think I fit in with the vast majority who prefer not to know this film or never have seen it.

Hahahahaha! I'm still laughing from just how gross-out Sir Peter Jackson's first two films are! He sure has come a long way since then! Just imagine if the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, as well as King Kong, were helmed by him back THEN! =)
