Synopsis

Genres: Zombie Horror · Dark Comedy · Psychological Thriller · Family Drama (Cult Fiction)

In the gloomy, oppressive apartments of Victoria Manor, timid librarian Lionel has always lived in the shadow of his domineering mother, Victoria. Invoking the name of his late father, she keeps him firmly under her thumb with her twisted maternal love. An attempt to break free with a date turns into a serious accident when his mother intervenes violently. Bitten by a mysterious “rat-monkey” from the colonies, Victoria doesn’t die. Instead, she becomes the beginning of a nightmare.

As a mutant virus runs rampant through the enclosed community, a grotesque, bloody disaster erupts. The neighbors, a cold-hearted nurse, and Paquita, the girl Lionel loves, are all dragged into this nightmare of the living dead. When he watches the woman he loves get devoured by zombies, Lionel completely breaks down. The helpless “mama’s boy” transforms into the “Lawn Mower God of War,” mowing down zombies in a frenzy with a lawn mower and a chainsaw. This horrifying calamity, born of a mother’s pathological love, is not only a grotesque and bloody fight for survival, but also the brutal journey of a soul finding redemption amid endless despair.
