When his domineering mother is bitten by a rat monkey, which turns her into a flesh eating zombie, a shy, put-upon young man does his best to keep her and her ever increasing number of victims sedated and under control, all of which makes his budding romance with a young Spanish woman rather difficult to maintain, in Peter Jackson’s blood-splattered and campily hilarious rom-zom-com.
