One of my favorite horror films. The first time I saw this, I just sat in my seat in wow. How many gallons of fake blood were used in the filming of this movie? lol Really good flick. Must see for anyone who’s a fan of horror/zombie/peter jackson. How do you go from this o lotr?
Ok. Brain Dead AND Monster Squad are going on my NetFlix account for Halloween. Thanks for telling me about this! I always marveled at the old school gore (I fucking hate CGI) and this looks like the holy grail of old school gore… Damn!
Wow I have had vhs and dvd copy of this movie since I can remember. I’m from NZ and am a huge fan of NZ cult movies. James you should definatly look out for the other Peter Jackson films Meet the feebles and my favorite movie Bad Taste. True kiwi madness and greatness there
It’s called ‘Dead Alive’ because there was already another crappy movie called ‘Brain Dead’ directed by the same guy who did ‘Night of the Demons’, Kevin Tennay I think his name is. Anyway, the uncle was my favorite character in the whole movie. He’s such a smug asshole, blackmailing the main character (forgot his name, Lyle was it?) and has one of the best slaughter scenes in the movie. He got his just desserts.
Goriest movie ever, Indeed. Great video, James.
I always alsked myself how Peter Jackson get the filming rights for Lord of the rings with these kind of movies in his filmography…
God damn I want to see this but it’s always out at the video store.
Maybe i’ll get it on XBL (it’s there I think)
baby to the nards lol

Just Finished watching it and it is AWESOME.

I watched this movie sooo many times! It’s hilarious!
I think this is a pretty curious point: in spain, it has two titles. It was also called “tu madre se ha comido a mi perro”, which means “your mother has eaten my dog”
you can see it in this picture:

most of people I know call it that way.
“I kick Arse for the lord”
Classic!
amazing film, and very funny, if you like this check out bad taste its another peter jackson film similar to this but its aliens instead of zombies
aye, tis the goriest movie ever but the baby in the park scene is hillarious xD
After watching your review and being disgusted by the images I saw I just knew I had to see this movie.
I watched it, and I absolutely love it. It’s so over the top and nasty and crazy and very funny. Its now my favorite horror/slasher movie.
Hly shit! I want to see this movie now! And normally Im scared of this type of stuff, I guess Im just gettin older now
