Exclusive ‘Yummy’ Clip Bursts Out of an Incinerator [Video]

Published

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.

The horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein is headed home to physical media, with the film zombie-walking its way onto DVD and Blu-ray from Universal on April 9, 2024.

Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), Lisa Frankenstein will also be available for a lower price on Digital beginning March 29.

  • Audio commentary by director Zelda Williams
  • An Electric Connection featurette
  • Resurrecting the ‘80s featurette
  • A Dark Comedy Duo featurette
  • 5 deleted scenes
  • Gag reel

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting,” Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos.”

“It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances,” Meagan’s review continued. She added, “As a celebration of teen girls and outcasts who just want to be loved, Lisa Frankenstein ultimately charms.”

Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”) lead the cast for Focus Features, and the new film is rated “PG-13” for “bloody images and sexual material.”

Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Liza Soberano (Alone/Together), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things) and Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room) also star.
