Paul Delos, Bernie Burnt, Nick Tortone, Anne Tzakol, John J. Bridge, Giovanni Arduino

An underground Italian film that pushes boundaries with extreme gore and gross‑out humor, echoing the early work of John Waters. It follows a morphine‑addicted man, badly burned, who becomes a zombie after his bizarre, pug‑ugly sister injects him with contaminated urine. The low‑budget, trash‑y aesthetic turns the tale into a darkly satirical, unsettling spectacle of addiction and family dysfunction.
