Aijón (Miguel Ángel Aijón) is thrown out of his parents' house, until he "makes something of himself". His idea of that though is to try to produce a film, & he soon hooks up with his best buddy Scurf (Miguel Ángel Aoaricio) - a radioshow host who has just been fired from his job, so they can cook up something original, & soon they are joined by Carla (Mayte Navales), who claims to have some connections to the film industry, & promises to help them, even though they don't even have a sibngle page of script.

Meanwhile - maybe on another plane of reality - the zombies are loose, a gang of undeads created by Entrecot (Santiago Segura), a mafiaboss & antichrist who provoked a gang war in order to get enough corpses to create himself a willing army of thugs, & it seems that Scurf has sold one of them, Johnny Maldad (Raúl Sanz) - his personal arch-enemy no less - Aijón's appartment to finance the film ... but then there's Goblin (Nacho Rubio), who has some personal vendetta going on against Entrecot, & who somehow drags Aijón into the proceedings by having him film the execution of Johnny Maldad & friends, as a friendly messaghe for Entrecot.

After that though, Aijón gets more & more into writing his script while Scurf & Carla are getting dragged more & more into the zombie-business, even being abducted by Entrecot's gang & only just being saved by Goblin.

After that, Carla (naturally) wants out, which is when Scurf notices he is in love with her (by doing the jerk-off test, if you know what I mean ... yup, it's just what it sounds like), & by serenading under her window with an incompetent heavy metal combo, he even gets free access to her more private regions ... which is when Aijón calls Carla that he has finally finished the script (bad timing) ... which is when Scurf is kidnapped by Entrecot's zombies again, & locked in with a cute redhead (Salomé Jiménez), while Carla can just get away & back to Aijón, asking him for help ... which is when Goblin calls Aijón, & identifies Carla as Fists, a killer in Entrecot's employ, & Aijón can only just lock her in & get away before something nasty happens.

Later, Aijón & Goblöin meet up at the graveyard where Entrecot is hiding out, & plan to attack his place head on, when they run into Carla again ... who turns out to be not Fists at all - & Goblin would know because Fists is his ex turned rogue, turned Entrecot's zombie-assassin. So Fists is still on the loose - & of course she turns out to be the redhead locked in with Scurf ...

In the finals pretty much everyone shoots (or otherwise kills) everyone else, Scurf is shot by Entrecot, Carla is killed by Aijón's mum (María José Moreno) - who has been turned into a zombie too -, Entrecot is shot by ... Fists, who has not forgottebn that she's in love with Goblin, but somehow both her & Goblin are shot as well ... & in the end, only Aijón is left alive to tell the tale ...

& he tells the tale to producer Santiago Segura (playing himself in addition to Entrecot) who likes it ... but wants more nudity & a happy ending. So in the end, Scurf gets together with Carla ... & maybe the whole Zombie-tale was just taking place in the head of Aijón ...

 

Despite the fact that zombie-comedies/parodies more often than not are doomed to fail right from the start, & gross-out jokes more often than not backfire, this zombie-comedy/parody full of gross-out jokes does work surprisingly well ... & the reason for it might be that it tells an original story rather than trying to hang up a few jokes along a formula story, & it uses an unusual way of storytelling, never quite making it clear how much of the goings-on are real (inside the reality of the film's narrative), & what is only taking place in whose head ... but despite all that, the movie noever forgets to entertain & tell its story despite everything.
