Summary: Absolutely disgusting. I loved it! :-)
Review: If you like zombies and a bit of humor, you will like this film. It is one of the stupidest pieces of work that I have ever seen. It starts bad and get worse as it goes. There is so much "blood" and "guts" flying around that it makes the Night of the Living Dead look like a Saturday morning kiddie show.And for anyone who says something about the "serious" films such as the NOLD, Day of the Dead, and Dawn of the Dead, and how they are so much better than this film, get a life dude. None of these things are to be taken seriously. They are fun to watch just to see how stupid the director and writers make the actors. If you like splatter flicks, watch this one! :-)

Summary: Silly, sloppy, uninteresting
Review: Maybe because I am more for the serious zombie movies like the Romero's series but I find this movie to be silly, with over the top acting and not even funny. The special effects are cheap and it reminds me of Army of darkness which is also a silly uninteresting movie as well. Overall: BAD.

Summary: The Goriest Movie of All Time!
Review: When I started watching this DVD, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had heard a lot about this being disgusting, bloody, comedic, etc. but I had no idea it was this extreme! As for the gore it is highly unoffensive. However, if you like extremely graphic and close-up realistic shots of violence as much as I do, you will find paradise with this movie. The plot? It concerns a grown man named Lionel who lives with this demanding mother. After she gets bitten by a Sumatran Rat Monkey, she becomes infected and dies. However, she comes back to life as a zombie and eats neighbors, friends and dogs. It is then up to Lionel to destroy the zombie population. P.S.
If anybody explains to you about how romantic the lead characters' relationships are then don't listen to them. This is not the kind of movie you and your girlfriend are gonna want to see on a Saturday night.

Summary: Censors delight
Review: This is an excellent film for all those who love their horror over the top and schlocky. From Peter Jackson (lord of the rings) this, his third film, shows his first move into the budget arena. After Bad taste and Meet the Feebles this was the first film he'd made with money not from his own pocket. It's a shame it's cut by the MPAA by almost 10 minutes. You can pick up the directors cut under the original title Brain Dead. Only bother if you're a compleatest though. Shame about the cuts, still a great move.

Summary: THE BLOODIEST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO WATCH THIS EXTREMELY GORY ZOMBIE FLICK, THEN GO RIGHT AHEAD. THIS IS THE BLOODIEST HORROR MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN. DEAD ALIVE (UNRATED VERSION) IS NOT FOR THE WEAK OF STOMACH. WHEN A MAN'S MOTHER IS BITTEN BY A SUMATRAN RAT MONKEY, SHE TURNS INTO A ZOMBIE AND GOES ON A RAMPAGE, TURNING HER VICTIMS ALSO INTO ZOMBIES. THE MAN MUST FIGHT TO KEEP HIS HOME TOWN SAFE..........OR ELSE........!
IF YOU HAVE A STRONG STOMACH, THEN YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE. IT'S MIXED WITH HORROR & DARK HUMOR, AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS. IT CONTAINS NONSTOP VIOLENCE, GOBS OF GORE, BRIEF PROFANIY, AND LOTS OF GROSS SITUATIONS. VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE ACTING IS SUPERB, THE PLOT IS COOL, AND GOREHOUNDS WILL DEFINETLY GET THEIR MONEY'S WORTH. I GUARANTEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Dead Alive Scores Big Time!
Review: Buy this movie, have some buddies over, get some beer, and order a pizza- your in for a party. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive is THE MOST violent and gory thing you'll ever see, but it also serves up plenty of laughs. Never before have I seen so much blood and gore. The effects in this movie are truly over the top. At first you find yourself saying "That could never happen", but by the end you are so caught up in it, you just take it as it comes, and it comes a lot. On the funny side of things, Dead Alive has plenty of dark humor, like a priest saying "I kick ass for the lord!" while beating the hell out of two zombies. The acting is sub-par, but if your buying this movie, you probably arent getting it for acadamy award winning performences. The acting is of no concern though, as this movie is just so much fun. I would have given it 5 stars, but the extra features consist of a trailer for the movie....thats it. However, do yourself a favor and get the DVD as it is uncut and that is the only way to see this movie (the R version is SO uncut that is drains the movie of nearly all the gore and fun). Buy this and love it.

Summary: Don't be fooled by the uncut terminology used on this DVD
Review: Yes, this is a great film. However I would reccomend procuring a copy of the original NZ release entitled Braindead. The fact is I have both a VHS of Braindead and the so called uncut DVD Dead Alive. Yet the DVD is not only cut, but sceenes re-edited with terrible ill effect on the film. Braindead is the version you want, it helps make the film more coherent, as well as keep things more lively. Some of the jokes which seemed lacking were due to the sceen juxtaposition in the DVD and worse yet the R rated version. I got my copy of Braindead from Blacketst heart which has unfortunately gone under. The only way I know of to get this title is to order overseas from NZ or get the Japanese laserdisc. Warning - don't be fooled by the unrated terminology so blatantly stamped on the DVD - it is edited, and it irks me to no end!

Summary: Dead Alive
Review: This is one of the goriest movies I have ever seen and I have seen alot. The truly wonderful thing about this movie is how campy and funny it is. I showed it to my 13 year old son for the first time this year and he started to feel sick watching it. We stopped it and discussed how all of it was fake but if he really looked past all the gore that it is one of the funniest movies ever made. He now loves it and thinks it is the best movie ever.
This is a must see for all those that like blood and gore and camp.

Summary: Gore is an acquired taste.....heh
Review: Dead Alive is to Peter Jackson as what Evil Dead II was to Sam Raimi, and no less fun. Boasting that it is the "goriest movie", it definitely achieves just that. In fact, it's so disgusting you can barely stand it (particularly the custard scene for me), but so funny, you can't help but keep watching. Not exactly a movie just for Jackson fans, this movie is pretty much fun for everyone, even those for those with weak stomachs. This movie could only disappoint if you were to watch it expecting some sort of high budget blockbuster, like Peter Jackson's Fellowship Of The Ring or this new trend of "teen scream" movies. If you're expecting a fun, cheap, somewhat cheesy movie, good for a laugh and definitely shocking, then you'll get just that. Dead Alive is DEFINITELY worth a watch!
