Review of Yummy

Yummy (2019)
6/10
A solid 6, pleased this zombie veteran...

As a Romero fanboy of nearly 40 years, I feel somewhat qualified to critique all things zombie. Of course, about 75% of all things zombie aren't even worth your 90 minutes but on occasion, a little gem appears.

This movie was obviously made with heart and it shows. Sure, check your brain at the door, it's wacky but there are some truly impressive scenes, both comedically and in terms of gore, tension and absurdity.

Going in with the lowest of expectations, I found the opening scenes to be suprisingly engaging, wierd and funny. The first act as a whole is pretty great. It does feel a big saggy in places and I could list a whole bunch of gripes (shut the door behind you in a zombie outbreak) but overall, it's a blast.

No spolers here, the story isn't really worth dissection but I loved the beginning and end the most.

Definitely worth a midnight viewing. Great job by all involved.
