As we all know, you can't choose your family, but Rina has drawn a very bad lot. When she finds a hand in a casserole dish in the fridge, she is astonished: her Māori parents are cannibals and so human meatballs are on the menu. A group of escaping criminals, who take the family hostage, soon realise that they have messed with the wrong people. From then on, they have their hands full trying not to end up in the next casserole themselves.
How we laughed when Peter Jackson's early film characters fought their way through centimetre-deep puddles of blood and innards, while a zombie mob gone wild wants nothing more than to have a party and a narcissistic intestine is up to its mischief. What began with BAD TASTE has been part of the everyday life of horror films since BRAINDEAD at the latest, and admittedly, one of its most beautiful aspects. Cool, brutal, incredibly crazy and yet not uncritical of its subject: this is fun splatter the way we love it!
