The premise
When a Sumatran rat-monkey bites Lionel Cosgrove's mother, she's transformed into a zombie and begins killing (and transforming) the entire town while Lionel races to keep things under control.
Horror Vault's take
When a bizarre exotic creature sinks its teeth into his domineering mother, mild-mannered Lionel Cosgrove finds himself in a desperate, losing battle to contain the undead carnage spreading through his quiet New Zealand neighbourhood. What begins as a personal family crisis spirals into something magnificently, grotesquely out of hand. Peter Jackson's pre-Hollywood splatter masterpiece gleefully cranks the gore dial far past eleven, cementing its reputation as one of the most extreme — and wickedly funny — horror comedies ever made.
