Rating: 5 stars
Summary: buttkicking in buckets of blood!
Review: One of the goriest, funniest films I ever hope to see. Don't get the rated version, though - to fully appreciate this movie you MUST see the unrated in all its gory - er, glory...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: must-see romantic comedy (with horror elements of course)
Review: Braindead (Dead Alive's original title) is the best Gore-film you will ever see! It is breathtakingly hilarious, horribly bloody, absolutely inventive - and probably the only splatter movie you can watch with your girlfriend...well...almost! It even beats Jackson's own Bad Taste in gore, fun and style. A must-see!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get it. See it. NOW
Review: It has been some time since I saw Dead Alive, but it is great. Silly. Gory. Fun. STRANGE. In my experience, no other film uses such huge amounts of animal tranquilzers so beautifully. I am about to buy myself a copy right now.....YOU DO THE SAME (because it sure is a challenge to find it for rent!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dead Alive Eats up others
Review: If you are a fan of the Evil Dead Triology, then Dead Alive is a definate keeper. Ten times the gore, ten times the laughs. How can you go wrong with Rat Monkeys and Zombified babies. Make sure you get the unrated version when you buy this movie. All horror fans, get this one now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly awsome video, if you can stand extreme vioence.
Review: This video is blood soaked from start to finish. With some of the best visual effects ever used. Even though this film has an extremly graphic nature, the blod and gore do not take away from the plot. A very well done peice. Very enjoyable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I kick @$$ for the Lord"
Review: Undisputably the goriest film ever made; and one of the funniest as well. A great combination. Killing zombies with a lawnmower, kicking a baby zombie around a park, a skinless creature checking himself in the mirror (!), a kung fu priest.... I don't wanna give away anymore. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sensitive portrayal of an insecure man overcoming adversity
Review: Sure, this movie has more blood than a GWAR tour and it made me laugh harder Calvin & Hobbes but it's also finely written, intelligent film with surprisingly sublime Freudian sub-plots. Jackson directs it mostly straight-faced and that's what makes it so appealing. Beware of the ultra-edited R-rated version, insist on NR.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bring your barf bag :)
Review: The biggest mistake you can make when watching Dead Alive is to assume it's a horror film. Actually, it's a parody of a horror film, made with such perfection that it is mistaken as one. What Peter Jackson has done is created a movie with the most ways zombies have ever been destroyed, culminating in a climax that consumed six gallons of fake blood _per_second_. Instead of shying away from the more disgusting parts of murder, Jackson's zooms right up close, so we see a man's arm actually getting chopped off. Don't worry, the effects are rubbery enough that you shouldn't lose any sleep. Get a bunch of friends together and pop this one in. I never heard more simultaneous cries of horror and laughter before.

The DVD doesn't contain any _real_ bonuses besides the (hopefully) standard widescreen format and trailers. The colors are bright and crisp, and the blood runs red :).

Rent it tonight, and buy it tomorrow!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOTHING QUITE LIKE IT. ANYWHERE.
Review: Somewhere in New Zealand Monty Python and Freddy Kreuger got into a head on collision with a Mack truck and Peter Jackson had a video camera on hand. Somehow this film manages to be both the funniest and the most disgusting movie I've ever seen in my life. Nothing can gross me out now. I'm immune to anything on screen. Five stars. --the good doctor

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is fan freaking tastic!!!
Review: What other movie can you watch a priest get up and kick arse for the lord? This movie is the best and the ending scene leaves many of the goriest behind!!
