Summary: Exellent!!
Review: One of the best gore/comedy films of all time. Its not as sick as it may sound, its not depressing, Its hilairious, and will make you watch it again and again.

Its about a man who must take care of his stubborn mother who gets bitten by a monkey in the zoo, and then turns into a zombie. And before you know it, all of the other town members turn into zombies!

It has an odd ending.

get the unrated version, which contains about 10 minutes extra gore footage.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So horrible, it's sheer beauty
Review: Peter Jackson remains the king of over-the-top movies! From BAD TASTE to the classic (or is that infamous?) MEET THE FEEBLES, Peter Jackson manages to start with a relatively simple concept and turn it into the most shocking thing you've ever seen. I don't think there's ever been a movie with more blood and gore in it. If you're not sure about seeing/renting this movie, I'll give you three reasons: zombies, lawn mower, and food processor. If you like splattergore, go see this movie, otherwise go rent something a little tamer, like Friday the 13th.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would give this movie 10 stars if I could
Review: This movie is a perfect mixture of dismemberment, comedy and horror in one. If I wasn't laughing I was cringing from the special effects. This is Jackson's finest, though Bad Taste is good as well. The action never stops... Get the unrated version for buckets more gore, thats the only way to go.

Dead Alive was deemed the goriest fright film of all time. I agree.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Braindead
Review: I saw Braindead (as "Dead Alive") and I LOVED it. I thing that the poor reviews from on this film probably came from people who saw the cut versions. I cannot recommend this enough. The gore didn't bother me at all, but I think thats because I'm a huge horror fan and very hardended to such things. To say that this film has nothing redeeming it other than its shock value is very wrong. In stating that, one overlooks the Freudian psychology and symbolism, and the artistic elements. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest horror movies ever made. I suppose more sensitive viewers may not enjoy the gore, but I am certain that viewers a dark, yet wacky sense of humor and an appreciation for subtley will fully appreciate the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disgustingly Hilarious
Review: When I was told this would be the goriest movie I would ever see, I doubted it, but by the time Lionel demonstrates that nothing runs like a Deere, I was already convinced it was true. This movie is sick, twisted, and totally funny. It has a distinct foreign flavor, and the characters are really goofy, so it has a lot of lameness potential to contend with, but in the end, the cheese factor reaches so high, it breaks into "camp", and it's now one of my favorites. If you are a seriously disturbed individual looking for a few good belly laughs, I recommend you add this movie to your collection.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh dear oh dear OH DEAR
Review: No,no no no no no NO. Never ever ever buy this film. It is awful. The acting is not acting, just reading lines the ugly people memorised. The gore is terrible, I could do better with a bottle of sauce and a sponge, and the story is not there. Do not waste your money ever on this terrible film... You have been warned!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Madre de Dios!
Review: This was a helluva fun movie. I'm not particularly attracted to horror flicks, but because of their free-range of ideas and creative methods to entertain on a rather simple premise, excellent ideas can emerge onto film, as is the case with this movie.

Diana Penalver, was excellent, I looked for her other works, but couldn't find any other movies that she did using English as the main language. Timothy Balme, did a good job. Diana, if you are reading this, te quiero!

Judging from the fact that there are 110 reviews on this movie, I should say there is a definite following and this movie is a must in anyone's collection.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Define Gore
Review: Gory, disgusting, bloody, crude, unnecessary, nasty, graphic, gross, vomit inducing, the list goes on for a film like this. If you go into watching this film to use your brain to think, you're not gonna be a happy individual. If you just want to see one hell of a gross film, then I recommend what is literally one of the goriest films ever constructed. Ranging from numerous decapitations in which some are pretty inventive including people literally getting skinned on different body parts to seeing an up close and personal view of the manual removal of one's lungs, Dead Alive is one of the grossest films ever. This film is so nasty that you won't be eating anything red for the rest of the day. It doesn't take itself seriously which is the good thing and it aims for maximum shock factor and truth of the matter is, not only does it succeed, it exceeds that factor. Bloody to the extreme, Peter Jackson's early work is far different from his latest films such as The Frighteners and the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: dead baby
Review: this dvd was great but I think the baby looks to fake and that kills some of the illusion for me. Although its definitly one of the goriest of all time!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dead Alive is gory, funny, disgusting, and great
Review: This is one of the goriest movies i have ever seen if not the goriest and it is awesome. It is also funny with scenes like the baby zombie, the priest fighting the zombies, etc. The last half hour is wall to wall gore with no backing down on being disgusting and it has so many classic scenes like when Lionel massacres a whole group of zombies with a lawnmower. It wuz also made in New Zealand by director Peter Jackson who also directed one of my other favorite gory cult movies called Bad Taste. This movie rulz BUT MAKE SURE U BUY THE UNRATED VERSION NOT THE RATED R VERSION CUZ THEY CUT OUT TO MUCH GORE AND THE R VERSION COMPLETELY SUX.
