I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Simply Perfect
hyped garbage
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
A group of adventurers discover and bring back a deadly rat monkey to a zoo, who can transform their victims into blood thirsty zombies. When a man's mother gets accidentally bitten by the rat monkey, mayhem ensues. Dead Alive, also known as Braindead, was Peter Jackson's third feature after the splatter fest Bad Taste and crude Muppet parody Meet the Feebles. Jackson this time delivers a humorous take on the zombie genre, which harkens to the likes of Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead in its combination of physical comedy with blood and guts galore. Dead Alive is said to be the bloodiest movie of all time and I'm not exaggerating! One of the final sequences required 5 gallons of blood to be pumped out per second! That's absolutely ludicrous! Thankfully it pays off and the film remains one of the greatest zombie comedies of all time.Timothy Balme excellently pulls off the wild physical comedy and in all honesty, he is a runner up for Bruce Campbell in terms of giving the best performance in a zombie horror comedy. There are some insanely over the top moments and you just have to see it for yourself- they're insanely good! Dead Alive/Braindead is over the top violent gory fun that I'm sure you'll enjoy!
This is a hilarious, well-written, romantic zombie comedy with great characters. It must be the goriest film of all time.This is much better than Shaun of the Dead in all respects. Braindead is the best zombie film I've ever seen as well as the funniest comedy horror I've ever seen.
This is quite possibly THE best zombie horror comedy ever released. Runner up would be Dead Sno.But this, this, is a masterpiece. Peter Jackson, who went onto much, much bigger things, has created a masterpiece. There is gore aplenty in this movie, some of it of the gross out type, but there is one scene with a lawnmower that....well, it just MUST be seen to be believed. Let's just say that there are literally gallons and gallons of fake blood used for this scene alone. If you haven't seen it, I won't ruin it for you, but I suggest you run out and get this now. It is just a movie that cannot NOT be seen. Perfect for the gorehound in your family.
This movie is so crappy it's delightful. It's so bad that it's funny. Although it is an interesting concept, the movie is ridiculous. This was supposed to be a horror movie, and gory! NOT! This should be in the comedy genre. Just remember to lower your expectations with this movie and maybe you'll enjoy it. I mean I know it's a 1992 movie, but really?? They could have put some more effort into this one. So much potential, wasted. Maybe if you get a little tipsy or drunk, you could really enjoy this movie. This is one you watch when you are utterly bored out of your mind. I only watched this movie because there was nothing on TV and I desperately needed something to do.
