Exclusive ‘Yummy’ Clip Bursts Out of an Incinerator [Video]
While originally slated for a premiere at the SXSW Film Festival this past March, Shudder will unleash the Belgian horror-comedy Yummy on their streaming service this coming Thursday, June 25th.
The film, which was directed by Lars Damoiseaux, is said to be “an orgy of blood, action and fun” in which a young couple travels to a shabby Eastern European hospital for plastic surgery.
In this exclusive clip that takes place in a morgue, a man hears a noise coming from inside of the incinerator and is hit with a burst of terror…
In the film, “A young couple travels to a shady Eastern European hospital for plastic surgery. The young woman wants a breast reduction. Her mother comes along for yet another face-lift. Wandering through an abandoned ward, the boyfriend stumbles upon a young woman, gagged and strapped to an operating table; she’s the result of experimental rejuvenation treatment. He frees her but doesn’t realize she’s patient zero and he just caused the outbreak of a virus that will change the doctors, patients, and his mother-in-law into bloodthirsty zombies.”
“We weren’t interested in zombies that evolved or had special powers or whatever,” Damoiseaux tells Bloody Disgusting. “Although fast-moving and crawling on all fours, the zombies in Yummy are quite old school, dumb, human meat-craving monsters.”
As for inspirations, Damoiseaux cites Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste/Dead Alive and the Evil Dead trilogy, adding that “We used 28 Days Later as reference material for the way we wanted the zombies to move and behave, and with the SFX make-up guys we used the title scene of Zombieland and bits of Day of the Dead as a reference for the way we handled the biting/flesh-ripping stuff.
“And of course, there is a big homage to Edgar Wright’s brilliant Shaun of the Dead in Yummy,” he teases.
Watch it on Shudder tomorrow.

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
