Summary: Bloodiest movie of all time?!
Review: If you are looking for the bloodiest movie of all time you have found it!Dead alive is an awesome gore movie and one of few to come out in the 90's.Dubbed by everyone "The Bloodiest Movie Ever".I have to agree.I think if you see this movie you will probably put down the cheesy effects of the the Rat Monkey of Sumatra.But the gore effects start going on in the middle of the movie.Yeh the beginning is a little boring but once the blood starts spilling it don't stop.The bloodiest scene is the lawnmower scene and the priest scene is awesome too.Quote on Quote I kick a** for the lord!And so does this movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You got to see this!
Review: For starters, I am an Australian and like way out there films like Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Apocalypse Now, ect. Gore and Zombie films really interest me and I have seen all the classics. The version of this film I got a hold of over here was titled Braindead and had a running time of 100 minutes. Pal runs at 25fps while ntsc is 24fps so therefore ntsc versions matered from pal are around 4% long, so a true uncut ntsc version runs 104-105minutes.

I won't waste any time explaining the story and can not argue the reputation of this picture as the goriest film of all time, it features more graphic violence than anything else I have ever seen. The gore though is not intended to scare but succeeds excellently in its goal to surprise and entertain the viewer.

There are plenty of reviews for this picture and I won't repeat what they have to say, but have a few points that they miss. Australian viewers will probually see the NewZealand quirks of the characters and find more humor in them than an American viewer. Also I can't understand the fools writting reviews claiming the acting is awfull. I thought it was great. Timthy Balme is unbelievable with a great mothers boy persona and constant freaked out desparation. And Diana Penalver, what a performance. Amazing and flawless! Her acting was stunning in the sheer believability and charm she brings to her character. Every single movment, expression and word of hers has a genuine feel that you rarely if ever see in movies.

Well I'm sure that the acting isn't the reason why you are going to see this movie. And I hope you will see this film. There are many reasons why I recoment this movie, all the gore is there and its spectacular, it has great moments of pure humor, easily the best horror comedy and a damn great zombie film, also its refreshingly different approach to the genere.

All in all the single reason that you must see this film is that there is nothing else quite like it.

Summary: all you need is gore...
Review: Forget everything you've seen so far and prepare for the ride of your life: scream, yell, laugh and clap your hands(be careful not to do that at the same time). This is the best you'll ever get if you want blood, guts and hilarious situations. Check out the "guess who's coming for dinner"-scene and try not to choke. I have always known Peter Jackson was the best director of the last two decades( the most inventive, clever, focused, and talented one), but it is really breathtaking to imagine that "Brain Dead" was only his second major movie (take a look at "Bad taste" and its alien fast food executives and you'll get a glimpse of the scope of Jackson's talent for low budget extravaganza). If you are able to go beyond the guts and the blood in "Brain Dead", you'll also find out why Peter Jackson is the ideal man to bring "The lord of the rings" to the big screen. PETER JACKSON IS GOD.

Summary: Gore Movie
Review: Gore movie, with some parts of black humor, lots of blood and mutilated bodies if you like extreme gore, this movie its for you

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One hell of a great movie!!
Review: What can one really say? This movie kicks more ass than anything I've ever seen! Although I didn't find it that scary, the use of gore made it friggin hilarious!!! You have 2 zombies doing it, a priest "kicking ass for the Lord", and the use of a lawnmower as a zombie-killing weapon. This sure beats the chainsaw used by Ash in "Evil Dead". If you agree that this movie kicks rumpass, either due to it's gore, horror, or humor, than you'll also love "Evil Dead" 1 and 2, "Army of Darkness", "Day of the Dead", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "The Beyond".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining
Review: This is billed as the goriest movie ever and it is difficult to agree. While movies from directors as say, Lucio Fulci, focus one at a time on elaborate gore scenes, Dead Alive has it in more quantity. A lot of blood, hundreds of gallons, and some big time gore scenes combine to deliver the gorest film of all time. It is almost non-stop, and definetly on the bizarre side. This movie attempts to surprise you more than scare or frighten, and does the job. It is funny in parts, and becomes a twisted love story between the 2 main characters. Twisted in that love can blossom under so much gore, and in the situations it does. But,it is a good movie, with a plot different from the typical, run from the slow walking zombies, or stand and be killed. It is a fun romp of gore that doesn't try to do anything, but entertain you, however you view it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disturbingly Great
Review: Sick, Twisted, Disturbing, Funny. Those are the words that come to my mind when I watched this movie for the first time ever. It was so great and awesome. I loved this movie from start to finish. I found the part where the 2 zombies "going at it" particularly funny. And the child that was produced was really cool. I would recommend this movie it your into the sicker types of horror films.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Worth Waiting For
Review: I purchased this dvd with high expectations , only to be dissapointed. It took nearly 3 weeks to arive , has no chapter insert in the box , and the dvd has no logo or writing.

The film itself should be classed a a comedy as it is funny not scary. There is an unusualy high gore content which is good and when puss is squirted into a man's custard is a nice touch.

My advice ,

Buy Cannibal Ferox a much better buy for your money.

Summary: Completely Over The Top!
Review: Having at one time been a gore aficionado, I thought I'd seen it all until I rented "Dead Alive." Like a lot of films in this genre, the plot is loosely based around the premise of the dead coming back to life to battle the living. Unlike most such films, however, the blood and viscera rain down by the bucketful until you almost start involuntary lifting your feet off the floor so they don't get wet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get nauseous... Surely one of the greatest moments in the history of cinema, "Dead Alive" belongs in your video archive.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Likely,the best of it's kind!
Review: Hilarious goings on in Lionel's House when his dear old Mother dies,or do she?Hordes of flesh eating zombies,being chopped up with a lawnmower,bizarre mutations,an unforgettable zombie baby with an evil laugh,and zombie sex!?And a very good transfer from Trimark,make this uncut version a must for fans of the genre!
