Dead Alive

1992
Comedy
Suspense/Thriller
1h 44m
On a quiet street, in a small town, pure evil has come to stay. An innocent young man forced to care for his domineering mother finds the task a whole lot more demanding after she's bitten by the cursed Sumatran rat monkey. Passing the point of death, Vera sucks friends and family into her gruesome existence among the living dead and Lionel is sent spiraling into a ghoulish nightmare. Now a crazed zombie, she soon infects enough people to make it difficult for Lionel, still the faithful son, to keep the neighbors from suspecting that something is terribly wrong. (Lion's Gate)

So bad it's good and actually pretty funny in parts. As strange as it sounds you can see Peter Jackson's impressive style in this movie, it's just carefully hidden among a bad movie.

Dead Alive is the quintessential gore film of it's time period. Nothing's held back. Brains, blood, bones, puss, skin, organs, limbs...everything is all shown in such an over-the-top repulsive way. You'll definetly regurgitate on this one if you and violence is not a good clash. And just when it looks like the ridiculousness is over, it doubles the mayhem, making for some more bloody fun. I only have one last word to say to conclude this review: Lawnmower!

An utterly hilarious goregasm, drenched in blood and viscera like few other films in history. It's wonderfully over-the-top and bizarre, showing huge early creativity from Mr. Jackson, and the makeup and zombie/gore prosthetics and special effects are ingenious, nothing short of Oscar-worthy.

Haha holy shit! This is the goriest movie I have EVER seen. The finale is so fucking AWESOME! I puked a few times, but that made the 'experience' even better. I couldn't stop laughing during a particular scene (which everyone probably knows already, but I still won't spoil. Even if it's the trailer video, I just pretend I didn't see that). See it for yourself and be prepared to be blown away. It's even better the second time.

This is the goriest, most gut-wrenching, funniest, disgusting, puke-inducing horror movie ever filmed -not even to mention extremely quotable lines. Dead or alive, this calls for divine intervention!

Horror is not my thing, exploitative gory horror even less so, but it's hard not to get caught up in the absurdity of this film. There are so many incredibly over-the-top moments in this film that it would be impossible to recount all of them in this review. My favorites were the "I kick ass for the lord" beatdown, the zombie baby loose in the park, and, of course, the final monster - the grossest, and maybe funniest, thing I've ever seen in my life.

A delirious genre-defining splatter treasure that manages to be utterly revolting and absolutely irresistibly hilarious at the same time. The tone and pacing are just spot on and the effects are insanely inspired. Pays homage to silent comedy, social satire, soapy melodrama, horror conventions and trick movies in variously wonderful ways. A truly loveable film made with big, warm, gore-pumping heart.

I have a hard time defending this film's gore and anarchy - because really, what's the point other than gore for gore's sake? - but the fusion of zombie sex, zombie babies, comedy, a lawnmower scene and an Oedipal complex at the film's core really make this a unique experience that will never be done again. For better or worse. Actually, probably worse.

Call me haughty, but I just don't have time this kind of shit. It's watchable and I see the appeal, but I'll be closing the book on this one.

Dead Alive (Braindead) is my favorite horror film and a big part of what originally got be interested in movies and in horror specifically. It's just so insane, hilarious and over the top, yet directed with master craftsmanship. The gore effects are just astounding and have yet to be matched, not just in quantity, but in quality and creativity. It embraces its goofiness, it accomplishes what it sets out to do with pinpoint precision, and it's just about the most entertaining movie ever made.

I refuse to believe that it's possible to be a horror fan & hate this movie. Dislike maybe, but definitely not hate. A trippy horror-comedy-romance packed with oddball characters, all-out gore effects, super inventive zombie kills (& designs), & a manic charm that makes its admitted faults so easy to overlook. On top of all that are great performances, steady direction from Jackson, a fun & clever script, & plenty of one-liners to remember. A splatterific good time that's a must-watch.

The grossest and goriest comedy ever made, but also one of the most entertaining! Braindead is the perfect mix between slapstick and gore(since evil dead named splatstick). Every scene is a new clever but still innocently immature grossout classic. I doubt there will ever be a better goremovie.

Wildly, grotesquely ugly forerunner to Edgar Wright is a triumph in pushing the "gross-meter" to 11 and beyond, but semi-wastes its creative visuals on a frantic and incoherent screenplay, turning the film into an exhausting parade of vaudevillian routines and negating any story thrust. The grotesque designs (and Jackson's gleefully demented sense of humor) do make this well-worth seeing, especially if you can handle full-blooded cringe-horror.

One of Peter Jackson's first films is also one of the funniest, grossest, and best horror comedies this side of the 2000s zombie renaissance. Lots of great slapstick/physical humor, and has a perfect niche vibe to it.

A movie with a purpose. The purpose is, "let's see how many gallons of fake blood we can use." This is such an awesome movie experience that I would recommend this to anyone who can stomach it. It has the most gore you will probably ever see (yet it's more funny than disgusting). Hats off goes to the effects department that made a lot (awesome gory moments) out of a little (money/technology). Probably shouldn't watch it with your girlfriend (unless she's awesome) but your buddies will dig it.

If you have no problem with gore, this is quite a hilarious ride. In fact, almost everything is done to comedic effect, even though the shit they pull in this movie can only happen in the horror genre. However, any sense of realism at all goes straight out the window; probably around the time the kung-fu priest starts fighting zombies.

Essa mais absoluta obra-prima que é Fome Animal estreava há 30 anos no Festival de Toronto. A primeira vez que o vi foi no Cine Trash da Bandeirantes nos anos 90, às vezes acho que essa é a obra máxima do Peter Jackson, mesmo todo mundo sabendo que amo O Senhor dos Anéis. E ainda é deslumbrante 30 anos depois, tanto como o gore é filmado, tanto o viés psicanalítico da narrativa. Um deslumbre. DVD.

Braindead is a film that wears out its welcome far too early, but because it's just so over-the-top and you'll be unlikely to see anything like it, it's worth a watch. It's funny, it's gory, it's often disgusting, but it's something that you want to be able to say that you sat through it. Is it a great film? I don't really think it is, but it's something you just have to see regardless. At least this is a film that will make you feel something, even if, as in my case, it was the need to vomit.

An instant classic of the zombie/gore/comedy genre, even if it does possibly owe a little to the Evil Dead trilogy. The joys of DeadAlive are manifold: its perpetual kooky humour, its homages to the romantic melodrama genre, its absolute unpredictability of plot, and of course the set pieces, by which I largely mean practical effects / costumes / puppets / animatronics. 3 or 4 in a horror film would be good going, but Jackson unleashes another spectacular one on us virtually every 5 minutes.

The stylistic shot of the lawnmower blade from the ground up had foreshadowing written all over it. I was unsure how it would be tied in, but I was looking for it. I didn't have to search very hard because it was foreshadowing one of the bloodiest scenes of what might be the goriest movie of all time. I have to say this type of practical effect, and almost cartoonish gore, is very fun to watch. I recommend people watch the documentary "Nightmare Factory" to increase their enjoyment of practical

Reminds me of early Sam Raimi (only stupider, less talented). The climax is epic, but I can't decide if it's worth the time put in to get there. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time.

Way over the top with all the gore and sometime pretty sick. But worth a watch for some laughs.

"Dead Alive was Jackson's ticket to the Horror "Hall of Fame". It counts to the goriest but coevally funniest Flicks of this Genre. I've seen this so many times but never get rid of the rough jokes. Ash got his Chainsaw Arm, Lionel his Lawnmower. Hilarious^^

Great visual effects but it's too fucking frantic, too poorly scripted, and too poorly edited--so much so that watching it made me angry.

The delightfully gonzo tale of a lovestruck teen and his zombified mother, Dead Alive is extremely gory and exceedingly good fun, thanks to Peter Jackson's affection for the tastelessly sublime.

So over-the-top with gore and zombified horror, it's very entertaining, especially on Halloween night!

The relentless camp gives it a lightness, a deliriousness, and a rapid pace that no other horror movie can claim. It's cartoonishly grotesque in a watchable way, though, like a cartoon, it often feels like just a strung together series of gags. In that way, it carries the legacy of Evil Dead, The Toxic Avenger, and Return of the Living Dead, but with even broader humor and more frenetic editing and shooting that anticipates Edgar Wright and the upbeat antics of modern horror comedies.
