Yummy

Un festival de gore belge ayant lieu dans un hôpital d'Europe de l'Est où une jeune femme accompagnée de son petit ami - Josh Brolin en plus jeune - vient se faire réduire la poitrine. Un divertissement comique, parfois stupide, parfois drôle, avec un rythme enlevé et du sang à profusion. Les personnages sont moyens, mais le niveau de zombie et de brutalité les compense. Un projet enthousiaste et réussi pour un premier film réalisé. (13/10/2020)

A nice bloody zombie killing spree set in a Belgian hospital. A young couple travel to a shabby hospital specializing in plastic surgery. The protagonist would like to reduce her overly large breasts, but instead of surgery they will be fighting for their lives against blood thirsty zombies. I was a bit bothered by the actors, who perform rather poorly and the fact that they speak English just makes the whole thing worse, but fortunately the horror is action-packed enough, the make-up effects are good, the gore is substantial and there's plenty of it; there's even some nudity, so as an entertaining romp Yummy works more than well. Too bad the humour rather passed me by and it's not really suspenseful or atmospheric either, but considering this is probably my first horror film from Belgium, I'll be nice. Story***, Action****, Humor**, Violence****, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Suspense**. 7.5/10. (29/06/2020)

Darwin Awards: The Movie, or if the characters would just close the door behind themselves, there would be no zombie apocalypse. Then again, it is actually refreshing to watch the slaughter of a bunch of assholes and idiots instead of the usual good guys and innocent victims. Nevertheless, a lot more could have been made of the environment of a questionable plastic-surgery clinic, as well as of the characters themselves. (23/08/2020)

It took me a while to decide on how to rate this mixture of genres, but I finally settled on two stars. It didn’t really work for me as a horror film, and there wasn’t enough humor for a comedy (despite all the effort). The filmmakers obviously didn't even try to pretend that it wasn't a B-movie (which I appreciate). On the other hand, it's true that the quality slipped even lower at times. Anyway, I've seen worse.
