SPOILERS Zombie sex. Strange. Over the top. Funny at times. Overly long last scene.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched Peter Jackson's 1992 film Braindead, or Dead Alive as it was known outside of New Zealand. It starts with a zoologist capturing a Sumatran rat-monkey hybrid out of Skull Island. I'm glad I didn't miss the title card announcing it takes place in 1957 as it helps explain how the characters don't question what they're seeing more. I found the scene with the zoologist explaining to the local tribes that he has a treaty which to them was a piece of paper, only to have to bring out a machine gun to make his point. The beginning sets the stage that the ride is going to be a little silly. Once the zombie portion starts Braindead gets really gory, but it's competently made. The hijinks are top-notch. It's just a charming and delightful film.

This schlocky, infamous dose of early ‘90s body horror waves its admiration for the _Evil Dead_ films like a flag. More specifically, it sets out to emulate the campy humor, cheeky one-liners and gross-out special effects of Sam Raimi’s slapstick screamers. As story goes, _Dead Alive_ only provi More

I made it 57 minutes into this 97-minute film and just couldn't take anymore. I absolutely love a good cheesy B-movie and I always enjoy a good splatter/gore/zombie film but this...This was just over-the-top ridiculous, to the point of being completely UN-enjoyable. It wasn't the splatter, the blood More

One of those typical cult films that over time has become overrated by the internet. This is Peter Jackson's attempt at some _Evil Dead 2_ type comedy/horror, but the results are decidedly mixed. I had a hard time getting into the first 30 minutes because the script has no idea how to engage us with More

**A disgusting movie. Not recommended after meals.**

What can I say after seeing this movie? Guess I shouldn't have seen this after dinner. The film is disgusting, perhaps one of the most disgusting I have ever seen. I say this for the worst reasons. It really is a film that makes you vomit due t More
