User Review
Intestines can really kill you.
Rating: 10/10
This is by far the best horror film I have ever seen in my life. This movie
has everything - a horrifying rat monkey, a baby zombie, zombies having sex,
gratuitous violence, extreme gore, a super fighting ninja priest, an evil
annoying mom that turns into a zombie, a womanizing relative that is a
pathetic loser, an old psychic that predicts the future, and lastly someone
who takes care of them all. Oh, I can't forget to mention an inspirational
scene with a lawnmower too. Overall I give this cinematic masterpiece the
highest review, me throwing up in the bathroom afterwards from absolute
disgust.
