Movie Reviews of Dead Alive
Movie Review: Goriest fright film of all time!
Summary: 5 Stars
On the front cover of this film it says "Goriest fright film of all time". This movie is so gory if it were ever to be shown edited for television then this movie would only be about 30-45 minutes long because, they would have to cut out so much of the gore! When this came out in theatres edited with the R-rating it is a surprise it even got that! It's great that this is on DVD and uncut now because, you get special features but, more than anything else you get the in your face gore that will keep Evil Dead fans interested! If you thought that the Evil Dead was gory wait till you see this little baby jam packed with non stop gore! Sounds like Evil Dead huh? Wrong! The story completely different from Evil Dead! This movies plot is simple but, perfect! There is something called the rat monkey and it has a deadly bite that can turn your into a zombie. That isn't all of the plot but, Lionel's mother has a secret that she has kept from him for years. This movie is great for laughs and gore! You should try eating through the 20+ minutes party scene. I was watching that part at my friends house and he mentioned something about us eating through the party scene. He nearly lost his lunch. Another cool thing about this movie is that the original title of it is Braindead! Buy this if you want an almost perfect horror movie collection!Movie Review: If You Like Gore and Comedy; You'll Love This!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most likely, if you are on this page reading reviews, it is because you know of this films reputation. When I initially watched this, it was about a year or so before "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" came out and I had no idea who Peter Jackson was. Since then I have watched a lot of his early movies including "Bad Taste" and "Meat the Feebles". If you like grotesque and humorous movies and have seen "Bad Taste" and at least remotely enjoyed it, you should love "Bread Dead" AKA "Dead Alive".
This films premise is just completely off the wall, and the idea of a man trying to hide his now zombie mother is just ridiculous, and that's only the beginning, with each seen the film gets more and more ridiculous until the infamous lawn mower finale. There are no words to describe just how hilarious and gory this film is!!! It is one of the rare films I actually had to look away from due to the amount of gore and at the same time in the same scene I might be laughing hysterically.
Containing such amazingly quotable lines as "I kick ass for the Lord!!!!" as quoted by a priest, this movie is the probably the greatest horror comedy ever created, and if you have the morbid sense of humor and the stomach for it, you will absolutely enjoy it!

Movie Review: Gore Galore and Whole Lot More!
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Jackson's Dead Alive is an exuberant roller coaster ride of a movie. I have never, in my entire life of movie watching, ever seen so much gore so enthuasically shown in a film. This movie makes the Evil Dead series look like Disney movies in comparison. Dead Alive is an unbeleviable spectacle of wickedly over-the-top special effects and Peter Jackson's very dark sense of humor. This 1993 Austrailian film, begins as hilarious spoof of Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark and then turns into one heck of homage to Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Once poor Lionel's mother is bitten by a very rare and ferocious rat monkey, she turns into a very one-track minded zombie, and the maddness just gets worse from there. Expect to be impressed by overflowing body parts, squirting ligaments, a holy warrior kicking a## for the lord, zombie sex, zombie babies, blended zombie heads, and one weird Oedipal relationship gone terriably terriably wrong. A must-see for any horror fan with strong stomachs. Dead Alive is unsurpassed in film disgust. The DVD doens't have very many options, but this gem of a cult film is a necessity for those addicted to biazarre, sick, and twisted movies. A horror milestone. P.S. Watch out for the gas emmiting entrails.Movie Review: Requires a new definition for "Over the Top!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie on a whim. Like many people of late I have become something of a Peter Jackson fan, and the only pre-Lord of the Rings movie of his I had seen before this was "Heavenly Creatures." (Also a great movie). I am very pleased with my purchase, to say the least! Yes it is gore and gore upon gore, but more than that it is wickedly funny. I first watched this movie with a good friend of mine, and we both enjoy a good zombie film now and then, so we have seen just about all there is in movie blood and guts . . . or so we thought! This is a whole new level. Thing is, we were laughing ourselves silly throughout the entire film. It is so wacked and crazy ("over the top" is an understatement!) that the gore becomes hilarious (when even a zombie's entrails can't be killed, you've got trouble!). Gross? Yes, but somehow so gross that it's not. If that makes any sense. It's "Dawn of the Dead" meets "Evil Dead" meets Three Stooges meets the Marx brothers meets . . . I don't know what.One thing's for sure: You gotta see it to believe it! In an interview on Charlie Rose Viggo Mortensen and Eljiah Wood said they would love to do a zombie movie with Jackson. Man, I'd love to see that!
Movie Review: Rat Monkey Will Bite You!
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Jackson was king of the splatter horror movies time before the Lord of the Kings trilogy. He made two classic films called Bad Taste and Dead Alive. In my opinion, Dead Alive is a little bit better than Bad Taste, which is also a great and funny movie. The movie's main character is a poor chmuch named Lionel who's practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when Mom gets bitten by a rage and poisonous rat monkey(which is one my favourite creatures in this film) from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh eating zombie. If you don't like The Lord of the Rings movies and you'll love this if you have a really sick sense of homour and splatter horror movies are you favourites. There are many unforgettable highlights on this film for exemple these three: - Flesh eating mother zombie is walking on the middle of the road. Suddenly, streettrain drives over her and mother flies over 20 meters. - Zombie is eating soap and his ear drop to soap. He eats his owns ear!
- Rat monkey makes his own extraordinary and funny noise on the zoo.
I almost died when I watched this movie because Dead Alive was so laughing movie.
