Dead Alive (also known as
Braindead) back in 1992.
It tells the tale of an overprotective mother spying on her grown son with his first girlfriend when a fearsome Sumatran rat-monkey bites her. When the bite turns her into a zombie, her son tries to keep her locked safely in the basement. But she still turns most of the neighbors into the walking dead. And all bloody hell breaks loose.
