Summary: GORE! GORE! GORE!
Review: This is a modern classic. Everything about it is so very stupid, but it is one of the greatest movies ever made. I just love watching this movie. It is very funny. The gore is fakey and has gone overboard, and is a great party movie. Everyone but my grandparents have liked this movie, but they're old, so their opinions don't count(j/k). If your in the mood for a good movie and are gonna have some friends over, pick up a copy of this. Absolutely classic.

Summary: Fun & Guts
Review: This is one of those movies you can watch over and over. Why? Because there is so much action, gore, comedy, and chaos that you will never be bored.As other reviewers have stated, DON'T BUY THE RATED-R VERSION! All the good stuff will be edited out. The good stuff being zombies, over-the-top violence, and general pandemonium. The first five minutes start off violently. This is just to give you a taste of the mayhem that appears later. I must admit that for about 25-30 minutes in the beginning (after the initial scene) it is a little slower (but not boring). These comedic scenes are relevant and are well worth sitting through. I only own a select few movies (those I actually will watch more than ten times) and this is one of them.

Summary: Very gory - very funny
Review: This is the movie a "horror comedy" is supposed to be like! It's so inventive and really funny I nearly laughed my head off when watching it first time. Mama's boy Lionel falls in love with young Mexican girl Paquita, but his mother Vera does not like her son to be drawn away from her by some other woman. While sneaking out the two at the local zoo, she is bitten by a strange Sumatran rat monkey and soon changes into a hideous, pustulant zombie-ish monster with hungr for human flesh. She manages to escape the cellar Lionel locked her in and infects some more vistims whom poor Lionel soon has to look after. The zombie problem comes to its climax when the weirdos bite the guests of a party in Lionel's house - and this problem seems only solvable by shredding all monsters into pieces with a flymo... I really had not expected it to be this gorgeous and visceral (though I was warned before). The acting is quite good, the sense of humour is darkest black, the effects are extraordinary. The gags just come one after the other, so you won't stop screaming with laughter until the film's over. Really, I never thought violence and bad taste could be as enjoyable as this...

Summary: THE BEST GORE MOVIE EVER!
Review: I love gore movies and DEADALIVE IS THE BEST MOVIE out there for gore fans. Non stop gore effects throughout the whole movie. At first I thought how gory and graphic can this movie really be? Once you see it, you will find out. More of a comedy than a suspensfull horror movie but I wouldnt call this a "date" movie either. One of the more gross scenes is the "pudding" scene...not very gory, but just GROSS! You'll know what I mean whey you see it. Another funny scene is with the baby in the park...I laughed so hard. One thing to make sure of is to MAKE SURE YOU GET THE UNRATED VERSION. I accidentally rented the R-Rated version. It was SOOOO edited that you miss all the good parts. To sum it all up, IF YOU WANT TO SEE A SUPER-GORY/SOMEWHAT FUNNY MOVIE...DEADALIVE IS THE MOVIE TO GET! NO OTHER MOVIE HAS TOPPED IT YET AND I DONT THINK ANY MOVIE WILL EVER WILL!

Summary: THE ultimate
Review: I cannot begin to recommend this movie enough, there is just so much to be said about it. bottom line: it is THE ultimate gory movie. It is bizarre, hilarious, and FILLED with literally GALLONS ANd GALLONS of blood and gore. I honestly think it is the goriest movie of all time, but only in a funny way. the violent scenes are so exessive and strange that you just have to laugh. plus, peter jackson's quirky humour makes the film enjoyable in the downtime between grue drenched splatterfests. It also has a bit of an underlying theme of freudian psychology a la Psycho. the only drawback to this ultimate midnight movie is that i really don't think i will be a ble to find a flick to top it in order to satisfy my "jones". the only horror movies i have seen that come even close in the gore factor are not nearly as entertaining because they are serious, and even though i LOVE gore movies, i think that effects like this (and the effects are impressive) only work if the movie has at least a little bit of dark humour. so for any gore fans, and fans of monty pythonish comedy, this should be considered in the highest regard. Also, i fyou enjoy this, then give "story of ricky: a try. it comes close as a contender for goriest/ultimate midnight movie, and it adds the element of oddly dubbed, bizarre kungfu action from hong kong. neither are to be missed. with dead alive make sure to at least get the unrated version

Summary: You may laugh yourself into undeath
Review: Sometimes you just gotta laugh, and this is most definitely one of those times. Informed by every over-the-top horror film from Repulsion to Return of the Living Dead, filled with more Freudianism than a box of Cuban cigars, with more gore than any three Herschel Gordon Lewis movies combined, Dead Alive makes you wonder whether what's bubbling up from the pit of your stomach is laughter or bile way too many times. Paquita (Diana Penalver) is convinced that she and twittish Lionel (Timothy Balme) are made for each other, thanks to her mother's fotunetelling (nice Crowley deck there, I might add). She ropes Lionel into taking her to the zoo, and the two are followed and spied on by Lionel's domineering mother (Elizabeth Moody, doing her finest Joan Crawford impersonation). In the act of spying, Mum is bitten by the Giant Sumatran Rat Monkey, whose bite turns the victim into a zombie capable of animating other zombies and... well, you get the idea. In perfect comedy/horror tradition, the only way to kill the zombies is really, really bloody. Much of the atmosphere of this film is lent by the fact that everyone there isn't taking it all that seriously, and it shows; this is the same thing that lends strength to Return of the Living Dead and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films. As long as everyone behind the TV screen is having fun, you might as well too. I just hope the lawnmower doesn't show up in the Lord of the Rings trilogy Jackson's working on at present.

Summary: you won't be able to get enough!
Review: The acting and plot of this movie is hilarious, and laced with voluminous blood and gore. It has been labeled as "the goriest film of all time" by critics. Some of my favorite scenes include the meat cleaver scene (where a man cuts up hordes of zombies with a kitchen utensil), lawnmower scene (take a wild guess) and graveyard scene (you will have to see for yourself). This is the kind of movie where you could watch it a million times and never get sick of it. If you want non-stop laughs and cringes rent or buy this movie. Get the unrated version for buckets more gore.

Summary: For those who like humor with their gore.
Review: Let it be known, Braindead (aka Dead Alive) is probably the goriest, bloodiest & most violent movie in cinematic history. But it's so over the top & silly, it's funny. You'll find yourself rolling on the floor laughing at this. And most of it looks so fake it's hard to get sick when you see it. Not even the part where the mother eat's the dog comes across as being sad or cruel. You'll just have to see it to believe it. I think the ending lawnmower seen took about 5,000 gallons of fake blood. I just wish Trimark would release the 107 minute version on DVD. I hear it has even more blood and some extra chracter development. But as another reviewer said, those with laserdisc players can find that version on the Japense LD. For for those who like gore (and I mean bucket loads of it) and humor.
