Rating: Summary: INSANE!!! Review: Not to be viewed by the sqeamish, Dead Alive is one of the most over-the-top gross out films ever made. Peter Jackson pulls no punches in this gore-fest as we witnesss atrocity after atrocity. The Sumatran Rat-Monkey whose bite causes victims to rise in a zombie-like state gives way to utter mayhem. Horrific zombie killings, self aware intestine, evil babies in blenders, and on and on. One of the few movies to actually make my stomach turn in parts. Aside from the gore, Dead Alive is an EXTREMELY funny film. It is obviously sick and twisted, but sports a Kung Fu fighting priest, a hilariously disgusting Uncle with a urinary infection, and a scene in the park with the evil baby in a stroller that will have you rolling on the ground with laughter. People (who are unfamiliar with Jackson's work) will find it hard to believe that the same guy who directed Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, also gave birth to this film. All in all, an experience like no other. Highly reccomended.ABOUT THE DVD: If you are looking to buy the DVD because you are a fan of the film who might be seeking more about it (i.e. through special features), you'll be dissapointed to find there aren't any special features aside from the trailer on the DVD. :(
Rating: Summary: This Is One Violent Film Review: Peter Jackson's Cult Masterpiece is landmark for many things for its comedy,violence,slap stick humor,and its low buget quality. I could understand why many people would not like this movie. But I am a huge cult film fan and I think its brillent. But for the people who are intrested in seeing it I have a word of warning for you. This films violence is the most graphic violence ever cought on screen and I thought Evil Dead was bad this is extremely worse than Evil Dead its banned in many countrys do to its violence. And has the most violent sequence ever filmed the lawnmower massacre scene it clocks in at about 5 min and 11 quarts of fake blood where used every 2 secounds in thats scene mostly every scene is that bad don't say I didn't warn you. Warning: This film is unrated do to Extremely Extremely Extremely Graphic prolonged Violence Including Extremely Graphic Prolonged Gore. Words can not exsplain the violence in the film you have been warned.
Rating: Summary: NOT FOR EVERYONE!! Review: Now that Mr. Peter Jackson has become a household name with the exceptional LOTR, many people will now be probably checking out his previous works...And what a brilliant piece of work "Dead Alive" a.k.a. "Braindead" is. While not everyones kettle of fish, if you loved the Evil Dead series then this is right up your alley (and probably over it!!). This has got to be the goriest, sickening movie ever, but also VERY funny. A great nights entertainment! Just make sure your not eating anything at the time...
Rating: Summary: A Boy, His Mother, And A Rat Monkey (?) Review: First of all, let me state that this film was probably the last hurrah for the gore-filled late 80's films & whatta way to go! Released in 1992, Dead Alive is one of the most goriest films ever to come out of New Zealand (or anywhere else really!). Taking place in 1957, a rare and dangerous animal, offically known as Simian Raticus (the Rat Monkey Sumatra) is taken from it's home at Skull Island and brought to a local zoo. What the visitors don't know is that this monkey has an infectious bite, one that turns anyone into a bloodthirsty zombie! When Lionel, a young man with a smothering Mother who watches his every move, takes his newly found girlfriend Paquita to that zoo, he gets more than he ever bargined for! You see, while he & Paquita enjoys the zoo, Mother is spying on them, only to accidently get bitten by that monkey (Uh, oh!). After Mother gives the animal the boot (watch & see), Lionel takes her home to get well, but as we all know in these movies, that ain't going to happen! Soon Mother gets ill.......really ill! And the zombie-ness begins! When Zombie-Mom gets loose, she takes a nurse with her, and it ain't to the hospital either! After mom's "funeral", she meets a few more of the town locals, including Father McGruder, who appearently "Kicks (...)For The Lord", and soon we have quite a little Zombie-party going on here. That is until Lionel's house becomes host to an actual party by his money-hungry Uncle Les. But no one tells the party-goers that the Zombie's are the real guests of honor! So what do you do when you have a party with eventually a hundred or so uninvited zombies? You break out the lawnmower and get to "weeding" them out, of course! I think I've told you enough to get your interest in this movie, but if that didn't do it, consider this: I personally own about 75 horror DVD's & Dead Alive is the most goriest, sickest, disturbing, and funniest of my bunch (it's even more of these things than "Evil Dead II:Dead By Dawn"!). The DVD has a nice, crisp picture that's letterboxed, and has a very nice stereo mix too. So, if you want a horror movie that you'll be finding yourself showing everybody you know again & again, then get Dead Alive! You won't be sorry........oh, I almost forgot about the Zombie-Baby! Well, I'll let you get the movie and see for yourself.
Rating: Summary: Very gory and very funny. Review: I will start by saying this: I hate horror movies. They scare the hell out me. But this movie is different. Though this is one of the goriest movies ever made, it is also one of the funniest movies ever made because the gore is so over the top. At first it might not seem that bad, but when you get within the last 30 minutes it gets insane. My favorite part is when a priest starts fighting off the zombies and he says one of the funniest lines I have ever heard in a movie. I had a friend recommend this movie to me and I am glad that he did.
Rating: Summary: Downright Disgusting,Filthy and Stomach churning Sickness!!! Review: This has got to be the horror pride of New Zealand (it's origin).I purchased this DVD out of curiosity and invited some friends over to watch it.What a barf fest!!! This movie pulls out all the stops and just doesn't know when to say stop with the gore scenes.In the opening when the guy falls to ground and the natives yell that strange word "ZIMBADA" or something like that then severe his hand I knew this was no walk in the park movie.Relentless chopping and mutilating and all the madness and mayhem you could ever want in a movie is here in this movie.Please get this one now I promise you will laugh like a hell and wince your eyelids off. Oh yeah and don't forget to bring out the Barf Bags!!!
Rating: Summary: Nuts! Review: This movie is a classic that I grew up on, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. It depicts the story of Lionel, who lives with an over-protective (yet somewhat psychotic) mother who orders him around. Lionel meets Paquita, an innocent (and not very pretty) Mexican girl, and they hit it off inmediately. That is, until Lionel's mother turns into a flesh-eating zombie. If you want to know what happens next, you're gonna have to rent it. The acting is superb, the gore is over the top and the humor is unmatchable by any other zombie movie. This is the definite horror/comedy in the tradition of others like An American Werewolf In London and the recent Idle Hands. A must for all, horror lover or not.
Rating: Summary: Stupid move,, Not Scary at all!! Review: I can'not believe I went and rented (...) this movie at my local Blockbuster!! I was actually told (...) to rent this b/c is soooooooo scary and damn good. Boy was I in for a surprise. Now I notice allot of the reviewers says to get the "UNRATED VERSION",,, and I did ONLY watch the RATED version.... But I am sorry not even the UNRATED VERSION could make up for the storyline itself. This movie is straigt DEAD!!. I am sorry,,, but you all don't know what a scary movie is!! A scary HORROR movie is a movie that will keep you INTENSE and JUMPING to see what is going to scare the hell out of your pants NEXT!! I mean these are scary movies for the 80's: Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Shinning, The Thing. But this movie: DEAL ALIVE needs to be put DEAD,, cause its is no movie work keeping or renting. Sorry but it's very stupid. Trust me on this GUYS and GALS. I am affraid that we got dead beat reviewers on here that were probably bought off to put a good review on this movie!! All I can say is: THIS MOVIE IS STUPID"!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: This is one of the coolest movies that I have ever seen!!! Review: I don't know where this movie had been all of my life. I just recently purchaced the unrated VHS version and it is the coolest, goriest, and most funny movie that I had ever seen. If you are a true horror buff, then this movie is a must for your collection. Not only does this movie have cool special effects, it is just plain awsome. There is no doubt that it is the goriest movie ever made and it actually has some what of a plot too. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Buy this movie today!
