 Rated 5 out of 5!
Oh yeah baby! I kick butt for the Lord!
Simply the goriest, funniest, sickest, and silliest horror flick ever made! I love it. It’’s so unbelievably funny. If you’’re not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you’’d better steer clear of this wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of New Zealand-born writer-director Peter Jackson. However, if nonstop mayhem and extreme violence are your idea of great entertainment, you’’re sure to appreciate Jackson’’s gleefully inventive approach to a story that can judiciously be described as sick, twisted, and totally outrageous. The movie’’s central character is a poor schmuck named Lionel who’’s practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when ol’’ Mum gets bitten by a rare and poisonous rat monkey from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh-eating zombie, Lionel has the unfortunate task of keeping Mama happy while fending off all the other zombies that result from her voracious feeding frenzies. If you’’ve read this far, you’’ll either be crying out for censorship or eagerly awaiting your first viewing of this wildly clever and audaciously uninhibited movie. And while director Jackson would later achieve critical success with his fact-based drama Heavenly Creatures, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider Dead Alive a must-see movie. BLOOD, GORE, CHEEZE, AND FUN! Rated 4 out of 5
You have to see this to believe it
Imagine the goriest movie you’’ve ever seen, then at least double it. Then imagine that it’’s a comedy. Then imagine that it all works, and you’’re about as close to a description of this film as you can get.Sheer lunacy abounds, and some of the gags are truly funny. There’’s no point in trying to go into them, you wouldn’’t believe it anyway. (Wait until you get a load of the zombie baby). Suffice to say that you don’’t want to leave this planet without being able to say that you’’ve seen this film once.
