Summary: Classic Gore Fest
Review: Why I had not seen this film earlier on is a mystery to me, as I am a huge fan of the horror genre. Knowing that this film was essential viewing for any true horror fan, I rented it with great expectations. I was not disappointed. I was wondering when I rented it however if all the gore was being hyped up, and if I would be let down. Once again, I was not disappointed. The gore factor of this film was precisely as they had made it to be, over the top. From the disgusting "custard" scene to the lawnmower finally, it was terrific! Of pleasant surprise was the dark humor of this film. I found myself laughing out loud more than once. All said I would give this film a 4, or perhaps as much as a 4.5. I highly recommend this film to any horror fan, or those persons just looking to view a fun film without an intricate plot. GOREY!

Summary: I Guess There Is Such A Thing As Funny Gore..
Review: After reading all the great reviews for this movie, I went out and purchased it. I usually don't take any chances buying a movie unless I have seen it before, but this one sounded too cool to pass up. I must admit I wasn't too sure how I would hold up seeing all the gross scenes mentioned in the other reviews, but the weird thing is the gore is so over the top that it isn't really that gross at all. It seems more cartoonish than real, and the only scene that made me a little sick to my stomach was the Ear in the Pudding scene. The guy playing Lionel was actually pretty good and I was surprised by how good his performance actually was. My favorite scenes are The Kung-Fu Priest, the Zombie baby's first stroll in the park, and of course the Lawnmower blood bath. So if you want to see a very entertaining movie with over the top gore, freaky special effects, and some very funny dark humor moments, check this movie out.

Summary: wow....
Review: this movie was by far the worst movie i have ever witnessed in my existence. the story was terrible, the concept of a 'rat monkey' starting a chain reaction was beyond stupid, and the blood was just annoying to watch. unfortunately im unable to recover the 97 minutes i killed to watch this. then again, i was led to believe that this was supposed to be a horror movie. as most are aware of, a good horror movie has not yet come to pass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: dead alive
Review: this movie totally kicks [butt] the most goreiest movie I have ever seen in a long time. Sorry Jason I think this even has you beat the acting [stinks] but what do you expect from a b grade movie? and also its one of Pete Jacksons first movies more known by the Lord Of The Rings. Dead Allive is a must to in my pesonal opinion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Return of the Lawn Mower Man
Review: This is one of those films people either love or hate. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground for a movie of this calibre. Peter Jackson, the film's director, deserves kudos for successfully walking that very tricky tightrope of balancing horror and comedy.

The film revolves around Lionel, a young man who's life is controlled by his very domineering mother. After "Mum" is bitten by a rare rat monkey, she dies and turns into a flesh eating zombie. Lionel then attempts to care for his increasingly decaying mother while trying to keep this particular "family skeleton" in the closet. His efforts, however, are hampered by his mother's growing number of victims (all of which Lionel also attempts to hide while fending off their attacks) as well as a greedy uncle who wants to get his hands on Lionel's inheritance. Lionel's one ally is Paquita, a young woman who believes Lionel is her one true love. When Lionel's uncle discovers the coven of living dead in the basement, he blackmails Lionel into handing over his entire inheritance to him. This sets the stage for what has to be the bloodiest finale in film history.

Although this sounds like your traditional "hard-core" horror flick, the story is crammed with sophmoric humor, sight gags and just plain light-hearted silliness. The entire cast play their roles with tongue planted firmly in cheek, never taking the material too seriously. Jackson and company are clearly having fun with this movie. The film is completely successful in intergrating the horror and comedy elements, which is no small feat since those are two genres which don't normally go hand in hand. The film's comedy actually makes the gore easier to take. Lionel's ingenious use of the lawn mower is inspired. The finale features a reverse C-section that has to be seen to be believed.

Jackson's debut film "Bad Taste" is quite similar to this movie but in "Dead Alive", Jackson displays a much stronger style and flair. It's clear when comparing the two films that Jackson has learned a lot and developed a stronger sense of confidence in helming a film. This film may not be for the squeamish, but for anyone else, all you have to do is turn off your brain and have a good time. The reason I gave this a 4-star rating instead of 5 has nothing to do with the movie itself but rather with the DVD which does not provide any extras other than the basics that come with most DVDs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!!!
Review: For those who don't like gore this one might be worth the few extra trips to the bathroom. Or better yet just have a bucket on stand by so that you don't miss anything. Gore aside, though there is a lot of it, the comical highlights of this movie are vitually non stop.
It's about a man in his mid 20's who is still living with his oppressive and overbearing mother. While at the zoo she is bitten by a Sumatran Rat Monkey, a very rare animal and one who came into existence in an interesting way. The bite causes the mother to become a, you guessed it, zombie! The chain reaction starts when she bites her nurse and the whole things begins to snowball until there are literally hordes of zombies. Without going into to much detail and giving away all the best parts, this movie is full of animal tranquilizers being dispensed by nazi scientists in hiding, zombies being butchered by lawn mowers, zombie priests having sex with a zombie nurses, zombie babies running rampant in the park and a climax that is funnier then anything you will ever see again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best I have Seen Yet!
Review: If you like blood and humor this is the movie for you! The combination of graphic violence and humor had me in stitches. I have not yet came across one person who has seen this film that did not love it. Has to be the bloodiest film ever. If you liked ANY of the "Evil Dead" series, you'll love this one!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: WOW.. What a gorefest...
Review: This has to be one of the funnist movies ever... The gore is REALLY extreme. BUt the humor is funny as hell. When I saw it I wasnt expecting what I thought it would be. I laughed my ... off at the slightest scenes of humor... But I almost puked at the ending but the zombie baby was something. The sound isnt great at times but its still easy to hear. But be warned this contains grapically extreme grewsome gore and violence and some lauguage and nudity. Buy this Buy this Buy this....
