Mutant Blast

This is Troma done Portuguese style. During an ongoing zombie apocalypse, a female Special Forces member called Maria, and Pedro, a loser with a hangover, try to fight their way through hordes of zombies, but their journey is complicated not only by a masked superhuman with a mission to disarm them, but also by multitude of assorted mutants created by the fallout of a nuclear bomb. Well, what to add? It is a rollercoaster ride of a movie. Objectively, it is absolutely impossible to evaluate, it is simply a low-budget horror-comedy made by B-movie enthusiasts, whose unsophistication and cheesiness do not matter at all, and delivers a plethora of diverse monsters with bizarre capabilities which is downright entertaining. I will have the image of a French-speaking mutant lobster that hates dolphins stuck in my mind for a long time to come. In addition, Lloyd Kaufman appears in a small role here as one of the zombies. I recommend it to lovers of over-the-top low-budget nonsense. [Sitges 2019] (07.10.2019)

A Portuguese film produced by the Troma studio. It essentially amounts to primitive bloody rubbish combining, with no organization whatsoever, zombies, super soldiers, radioactive mutants and the mutual animosity between crawfish and dolphins. The plot, consisting of a rescue mission and military experiments, serves only as an excuse for a series of practical gore effects, supplemented by several absurd ideas, some of which are so off-the-wall and bizarre that they are almost worth your attention (e.g., a two-meter rat splashing acidic milk from its nipples). In general, the film is a garbage dump with self-parodying acting, props done on the fly and stupid dialogues, providing more unintentional than intentional humour. The director and screenwriter can't be denied a certain degree of creative enthusiasm and the ability to make a film at a fairly brisk pace, so at least you won’t be bored, but the only other guiding principle of the film is that you can laugh at all the nonsense.
