Sort of Argentinian Bad Taste Very cool! Doesn't look all that great, but the incredibly crazy camera work makes it all very entertaining. Lots of colorful gore that would look better today (quality) but nevertheless remains nicely cheeky and quirky.

Too bad about the terrible soundtrack. Otherwise this is a find for the real underground work in the horror genre. Home garden and kitchen movie that turns out to be very funny, smooth and dirty. I am now very curious about the sequel from 2001!

Disappointing Argentinian no-budget mix of Bad Taste (1987) and Dèmoni (1985).

The film is apparently supposed to be very funny (boxing scene, karate scene, juggling with brains, the overacting and exaggerated sounds of the zombies), but actually very rarely is. In terms of gore, it is actually all rather meager. The best scene is in the beginning of the film (the boy who wakes up with all that skin sticking to his bed). For the rest, the kills are not creative enough. Most of the kills are done by means of syringes. The last 10 minutes make up for that a little, but by then the damage has already been done.

For a film that lasts barely 60 minutes, it's all very boring. Not so surprising, because if the gore and humor aren't good enough, then you're not left with much of a film that was apparently made for 120 dollars. Andreas Schnaas does that a bit better, from what I've seen of him so far. I don't think he would have done that potentially great kill with the lawnmower off-screen either.

Respect for the enthusiasm of the cast and crew to start such a project with pretty much no budget, but I honestly found the result to be very mediocre. Too little over the top gore and unsuccessful humor. Strangely enough, it is considered by fans of no-budget shot-on-video fans as one of the nicer SOV movies. It also gets a very decent rating here and on IMDB in that respect.

An Argentinian SOV zombie horror, low budget too, then you shouldn't really pay attention to the quality or the chaotic images of course. I mainly noticed that they had a lot of fun with it, that's something too, but that doesn't mean it was all good either.

Especially in terms of content, a lot of chaos. As if they wanted to add a lot of horror elements that didn't necessarily have to do with zombies. For example, vomiting zombies or zombies that start slashing. There was very little line in it. Not very consistent either and too much of a jumble. Oh yeah, at the same time they also wanted to be funny.

Some blood and gore, not always visually top, but filth is filth, one might have thought. Fortunately, this one only lasts a little over an hour, which was more than enough.
