| This movie is AWESOME! I could not stop laughing, it was crazy and brilliant!
Lionel and Paquita are falling in love when his mother is bitten by a "rat monkey" at the zoo. Vera soon succumbs to the beast's poison and transforms into a zombie, killing her nurse and a few others while driving her son crazy. Lionel is unable to kill his undead mother or her victims, since people killed by zombies become zombies, so he keeps them drugged and locked in the basement.
Unfortunately the undead are prone to escaping, but this provides some cherished moments. At one point Father McGruder encounters a pack of zombies and turns into a Kung Fu Master, his Catholic Buddhist Fist style is extremely powerful. Lionel also attempts to take the zombie baby for a walk, in a barbwire lined stroller, and ends up beating it against a swingset! Oh I love this movie...
Back to the plot, Les learns the secret and blackmails his nephew into signing over the house, he is having a party when Paquita finds Lionel. She convinces him to put the zombies to rest but he accidently injects them with animal stimulants vice poison and all hell breaks loose.
The final quarter hour or so is filled with gore flying and every fallen becoming another undead. Lionel saves the day with a lawnmower! Just buckets of tomato paste and body parts flying everywhere! He even defeats the giant and bloated zombie which was his mother. Speaking of mothers - this is the mother of all bad(ass) zombie movies, I watch it often. |

| | If mom's face is peeling off, use rubber cement.
| | Sick old ladies eat dogs, uncooked, whole.
| | Tranqulizers are injected into undead through the nose or eye.
| | I do not need to see a "buckle eye view" of some dude's face while he is urinating.
| | Zombies can get knocked up.
| | Never inject zombies with animal stimulants.
| | An animated pile of intestines should not, repeat not, fart.
| | Gardening tools are very effective against zombies, as are lawn gnomes.
| | Massive carnage is an aphrodisiac. Guts=sex Blood=sex Exposed Spleen=sex.

Father McGruder comes to the rescue in one of the film's many memorable scenes. What deadly style do Catholics use? Anyone?
"I kick ass for the Lord!"

Peter Jackson has made a lot of similar films to this. The first of them <I>Bad Taste</I>, while it doesn't have any lines that are quite the gems that Father McGruder gets to deliver, does have some spiffy ones. Like the vomit drinker who joyfully proclaims, "OH, I GOT A CHUNKY BIT!" Capital fun. Hard to believe that he went on to make <I>The Frighteners.</I>

I must say, this movie was fantastic. Quite a love story, really. Oh, and some zombies and gore. The only downside: do not see the rated version. All the good stuff is edited.

I saw this movie a few years ago and all the blood-drenching perversion made me think of the grandpa of all bloodbath flicks: Blood Feast! Made in 1964, this movie (so I've heard) was the first to use gratuitious gore. Believe me, you gotta see it to believe it. The "plot" revolves around a deranged Egyptian caterer who worships the Blood Goddess Ishtar and is going around collecting body parts from comely young women to bring her back to life ( I swear this is true!). With long, lingering shots of hacked up bodies, awful acting, enough buckets of blood to keep the "Evil Dead" movies in business for another 50 years, and a nice short running time (around 70 minutes), this is one that is dying to be on this page! Please read this and find this movie!! I promise you, it belongs on every bad movie lovers shelf!

I checked out this movie because of your recommendation. This had to have been the funniest movies I've ever seen (except for Mel Brooks films of course)!! Although I don't know how Lionel could have memories of almost drowning, when he was across the room!! How do you see the hand in the water? Or the woman's face?? But I will say... the best scene had to have been Father McGruder's Ass kicking scene!! I love that little catch phrase of his. When did mexicans move into New Zealand??? How can this horrible movie come from the same place as Xena: Warrior Princess? I didn't know a single lightbulb could illuminate a person's features so well. I'm glad the cops got there so soon, and how well they interrogated Lionel and Paquita. P.S.My intestines are prettier than yours!

Ya know, I saw the this movie in the videos stores for a long time now and always laughed at the cover. I never went ahead and picked up and read it though...until I found badmovies.org and found out what it was all about. I went out the next day, and bought myself a copy of this classic. Hilariously gory with a twisted love story. Can't wait for PJ's Lord of the Rings. Just hope he tones down the violence for that one.

This movie is great! Not only is it one of the goriest flicks ever made, it features very good acting, a well-done love story, laugh-out-loud comedy, and inventive dialogue. And it's nice to see somebody kicking ass for the right reason: for the Lord!

Wonderously gorey with side splitting moments of humor. This movie is great! I bought a copy recently, it has come yet but I can only pray it's the unedited version as it even more of a gore fest! Fantastic!
