While Shudder unleashed the Belgian horror-comedy Yummy on their streaming service this summer, RLJE is bringing the gross-out zombie horror home on VOD, Digital HD, DVD and Blu-ray October 6, 2020.
Directed by Lars Damoiseaux, the film is said to be “an orgy of blood, action and fun” in which a young couple travels to a shabby Eastern European hospital for plastic surgery.
In Yummy, “While waiting for his girlfriend to come out of surgery, Michael stumbles upon a terrified young woman, gagged and strapped to an operating table; she is the result of an experimental rejuvenation treatment. Offering to help her escape, he removes her restraints but soon realizes he’s just unleashed a virus that will turn the entire hospital into bloodthirsty zombies….”
“We weren’t interested in zombies that evolved or had special powers or whatever,” Damoiseaux previously told Bloody Disgusting. “Although fast-moving and crawling on all fours, the zombies in Yummy are quite old school, dumb, human meat-craving monsters.”
As for inspirations, Damoiseaux cited Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste/Dead Alive and the Evil Dead trilogy, adding that “We used 28 Days Later as reference material for the way we wanted the zombies to move and behave, and with the SFX make-up guys we used the title scene of Zombieland and bits of Day of the Dead as a reference for the way we handled the biting/flesh-ripping stuff.
“And of course, there is a big homage to Edgar Wright’s brilliant Shaun of the Dead in Yummy,” he teases.
Here’s an exclusive look at the brand new trailer for the home video release, which includes the making of Yummy.
