Nice.

Let 2020 be the year that genre cinema reclaims the joy of cinema. In the last 10 years Jan and everyone has borrowed from genre cinema, the result is that it has all become a bit slower, more serious, more critical of society and blah blah blah. The pure fun has gone down a bit, especially in the zombie genre has suffered greatly, with a series like The Walking Dead as a sad low.

That is something that is very noticeable when watching Yummy, a horror film that does not care about all that "genre with added value" hype. A simple premise, some stupid humor and then plodding through the bloody zombies for 75 minutes. It actually feels refreshing, while it is mainly a return to the old setup, but worked out in a slightly more modern way.

It has to be said that the gore looks pretty good, that there are some nice dirty scenes and that the humor is also very good. The story is nothing and the acting is certainly not of the highest level, but that doesn't matter much when a bit of filth is put in the spotlight again. Fingers that are cut off, ribcages that are broken open, zombies that are decorating themselves ... well, the lover of some gore and humor will really get his money's worth here.

Perhaps the film adds just a little too little to the genre, you don't have to put it next to a Braindead, but it is a chunk of overcut film fun, the kind that you actually see very little these days. In that sense, it was just really nice to have seen it once (fortunately, the room was reasonably full with us), hopefully a harbinger for genre cinema in 2020.

3.5*

It's something different from the whiny cinema we're used to here. Alison wants to get rid of her big tits and goes to an Eastern Bloc clinic for a breast reduction with Poepie and her mother. When a zombie breaks loose at the clinic, the gory mess begins. This film certainly does not bring innovation to the genre, at the most a nice addition where the humor manages to work. Still laughing when someone said give me your hand to a nurse who extends the stump of his newly amputated arm. And then the head of Dimitri Vegas . But it never became terrifying, exciting and nerve-racking, 3* for the humor and nice that a Belgian director dares to do this and that the result is not a failure. I expect this film to also catch on internationally.

Very adolescent and mean. Like the unfunny running gag that Alison (Maaike Neuville) wants to shrink her big tits. Or the clichéd way in which both plastic surgery and the Eastern Bloc are taken for a ride. A pity, because this debut film by Lars Damoiseaux looks fine for the genre. A nice game with lighting and claustrophobic spaces, and - not unimportant - the make-up of the zombies looks decent. But it's all so appallingly bland. It also strengthens me in the thought that black humor is ultimately quite difficult to do well. A maker must find exactly the right balance between gloating and yet be able to sympathize with those damned wretches. If it's just about laughing, you might as well put on a movie of a toddler falling off a seesaw or something like that. For example, the unsympathetic characters in 'Yummy' (2019) make the most ridiculous decisions to save their own skin or make money from the misery. It really doesn't make any sense, but makes for an easy-going film that confuses rudeness with humor.
