Description:

A Good Son plunges viewers into a uniquely chaotic and hilarious horror scenario. The film begins shortly after a mother's funeral, when her grieving sons, perhaps for the first time, are genuinely moved to uphold their filial duties. However, their newfound devotion takes an unforeseen turn as their beloved mother inexplicably returns from the dead – as a ravenous zombie.

What follows is an uproarious commotion as the sons grapple with their conflicting desires: honoring their mother's memory versus surviving her monstrous new form. Their attempts to care for her, fulfill traditional obligations, and keep her undead state a secret quickly spiral into a series of absurd and terrifying misadventures. From disastrous meal preparations to frantic attempts at maintaining a semblance of normalcy, A Good Son explores the limits of family loyalty with a sharp blend of dark humor and genuine scares, proving that sometimes, even good intentions can lead to monstrous outcomes.
