Yummy

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)

Yummy, like a Belgian zombie horror, will represent Europe quite well and it's definitely nothing to be ashamed of. Just like the recent Croatian film, "Water, Blood, Rakia, and a Zombie Epidemic," Yummy is a successful horror comedy that benefits from great effects and masks. When it comes to the comedic aspect, the script relies more on primitive and vulgar humor rather than something with a more refined depth, as seen in the Croatian case. However, the original setting, bloody gore, and funny, surprising ending will please. Overall, it's basically average entertainment. (25/08/2020)

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.

This nourishing Belgian gore-fest is set in an Eastern European hospital, to which a woman comes for breast-reduction surgery, accompanied by her boyfriend, who resembles a younger Josh Brolin. Yummy is comical, sometimes dumb, occasionally funny and properly bloody entertainment with a brisk rhythm. The characters are average, but that’s offset by the level of zombie material and brutality. For a directorial debut, Yummy is a well-made, exuberant movie. (13/10/2020)

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)
