Synopsis

Genres: Zombie Horror · Black Comedy · Psychological Thriller · Family Drama

In the suffocating, oppressive apartments of Victoria Mansion, timid librarian Lionel is kept firmly under the thumb of his controlling mother, Victoria, by the shadow of his deceased father and her twisted maternal devotion. A small attempt to win some freedom by going on a date spirals out of control when his mother is gravely injured in a hysterical “accident.” Bitten by a cursed creature from the colonies known as a rat-monkey, Victoria does not simply “recover.” Instead, she becomes the source of rot and ravenous hunger. The virus erupts in the closed community in a grotesque, bloody outbreak, dragging the neighbors, a cold-hearted nurse, and even Paquita, the girl Lionel loves, into a living-dead hell. After watching his beloved get devoured, Lionel plunges into utter madness. The “mama’s boy” transforms into a “lawn-mower-wielding god of war,” armed with a lawn mower and a chainsaw. This is a plague born of twisted maternal love, a blood-soaked survival spree, and a hellish journey in which a soul commits the brutal murder of his mother and destroys itself amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
