Truly one of the best black comedy gross out films ever. Set in 1950's Wellington, this silly romantic comedy gone to the grave is a sick, twisted, and riotously funny tale of a young man, the woman he loves, and the mother he can't escape. Throw in a hundred or so zombies, a kung-fu priest, a Sumatran Rat Monkey (don't ask) and mix with thousands of gallons of blood and you're sure to see why this movie still plays in theaters around midnight across the world.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat movie!
This is the second best zombie film put out over the last ten years (Junk being #1). Peter Jackson knows how to put out a movie, plain and simple, thats the bottom line nobody compairs to him. The only thing that keeps me from giving this movie 5 stars is that the gut puppet looks really fake in the park scene. If you have not scene this then either get it know or go back to watch Valentine and Urban Legend.

This is a great B movie, I bought the DVD and originally was worried they cut a few parts out from the first time I saw an uncut version when it first came out. Anyway, It has all the parts(literally) where I almost cough my guts up from laughing watching the scene in the bathroom where the the zombee's inners let one go. I recommend this movie for all those horror and blood fans, it also a romantic story too. Great for any collection.

In terms of blood and sick humor, "Basket Case" and "Evil Dead" can't compare to DEAD ALIVE. In the unrated version, blood gushes like crazy, and in the overseas version called BRAIN DEAD (not to be confused with the older Bill Pullman-starring film), there's a funny scene of two zombies impaled on a broomstick making love, and there's more gore in the oh so wonderfully bloody finale. It's a wildly hilarious and gross splattter epic, the one to end them all.

Great example of an awesome, fun, and brainless movie. The plot is ridiculous and the acting is horrible. But the comic nature of this movie more than makes up for it. If you haven't seen Dead Alive, i strongly recommend that you correct your error. Also, I recommend being drunk while watching it. It only enhances the experience.

New Zealand director Peter Jackson is a one of a kind. Every one of his movies asides the passable Frightners is a classic. Get them all and be hip for life. This film, also known as Braindead is utterly fantastic, the goriest, funiest, horror movie ever. See a baby being blended, see a fist come through the mouth of a screaming woman, see people eating custard with bits of someones face in it. My god, can you stand it? I loved it, and you will too. Buy a copy for your mom. Peter Jackson has just finished doing Lord Of the Rings, what a friggin genius.

Universally villified as the bloodiest movie in existance....this movie can be summed up in one word: fun. What do you get when you get a submissive son, a meddling and overbearing mother, a disease-infested-rat-monk
ey, and an army of flesh-hungry, crazed zombies? You'd have to see it to believe it. Dead Alive leaves little to the imagination, consistently conjuring up new and inventive ways to hack and dismember the undead minions. Definitely a movie intended to humor the viewer, despite having the literally gallons of gore. The zombie-fighting priests who "Kicks ass for the Lord!" is priceless. A must see!Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBLOODIEST MOVIE ON EARTH

"I kick ass for the lord". This line says it all. Where else but in Dead Alive can you find a priest who knows Kung-Fu, zombie plague inducing rat monkies, and a gore factor higher than any other horror movie out there. With zombies having sex and spawning baby zombies, this movie is outrageously funny. You have to see it for yourself.

I'm sure that every gorehound has seen this Peter Jackson (Bad Taste, Meet The Feebles, The Frighteners) film by now. Just in case you haven't, the plot is simple: Lionel's mum has been bitten by a rat-monkey (see the movie for an explanation) which carries a disease that kills its host. The infected dead return to life to prey on the living. Kind of like the Romero films with a twist. Another twist on George Romero's zombie epics is that instead of keeping the dead out...Lionel tries to keep the dead IN!
This film is a little slow in the beginning but makes up for it later on, especially after about 30 minutes into the film. Tons of gore flies everywhere. The lawn mower scene will surprise you with as much gore that is spilled in that scene alone. If you like comedy and lotsa LOTSA gore, you won't go wrong with DEAD/ALIVE.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSoft Horror and very humorous
This movie is extremely funny and scary at the same time. No one is more funny in this movie
