braindead (1992)

aka Dead Alive.
It's 1957 in Wellington, New Zealand and Mothers boy Lionel (Timothy Balme), still lives at home with his overbearing mother (Elizabeth Moody).Unfortunately for him he falls for a girl (Diana Peñalver), and his mother being the possessive type tries to sabotage their date. This backfires on her as she gets bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey and turns into a puss ridden monster before dying. All while Lionel tries to hide this from her friends and more importantly his girlfriend. But that's not the end of her, as she rises as a zombie determined to keep her child out of temptation. Whilst Lionel tries to stop her and her infected followers.
Wonderfully inventive and vastly over the top gore-fest of slapstick humour and out and out horror.
