Yummy: A Delightfully Gruesome Adventure
Picture this: a young couple, full of hope and dreams, decides to embark on what they think will be a simple trip to a hospital in Eastern Europe for a little cosmetic enhancement. What could possibly go wrong? Well, if you guessed “everything,” you’re not wrong! Welcome to Yummy, where the only thing getting lifted is your stomach contents, and the only thing more inflated than the prices is the body count!
Our main characters, a lovely couple with aspirations of beauty, step into a hospital that looks like it hasn’t seen a janitor since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The young woman wants a breast reduction—because apparently, they’re just too much to handle—and her mother is tagging along for a facelift. Because nothing says family bonding like undergoing surgery together in a creepy, rundown hospital! Talk about a family affair!
As our dear boyfriend wanders through the abandoned wing of the hospital (because, of course, that’s where all the fun happens), he stumbles upon a woman tied up on an operating table, looking like she just lost a battle with a particularly aggressive beauty treatment. Naturally, he decides to play the hero and frees her, not realizing that his act of kindness will unleash a virus that turns everyone into bloodthirsty zombies. Oops! There goes the neighborhood!
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the boyfriend’s soggy heroics kick off a full-blown zombie apocalypse. The doctors, the patients, and yes, even the mother-in-law, all become part of the undead buffet. It’s a buffet where the only thing on the menu is chaos, and everyone’s invited! And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to see a zombie mother-in-law? That’s the real horror story!
As our couple tries to navigate their way through this blood-soaked mess, they find themselves in increasingly ridiculous situations. Imagine trying to escape a horde of zombies while simultaneously dodging awkward conversations about cosmetic procedures. At one point, our heroine even has to fight off a zombie with her own breast implant. Talk about a twist of fate!
By the end of this wild ride, you’ll be left wondering if the real horror was the zombies or the realization that you’ve just witnessed a film that’s essentially a slapstick zombie comedy with more gore than a butcher’s shop. Yummy serves up a feast of absurdity where every scene is a reminder that sometimes, the quest for beauty can lead you straight to the grave—or at least to a very messy afterparty!
So, if you’re in the mood for a film that combines slapstick humor with a generous helping of gore, look no further. Just remember: when in Eastern Europe, maybe skip the hospital and stick to the local cuisine—at least the food won’t try to eat you back!
