im just gonna give it 5 stars and not explain, i dont have all night to type a reason=OSplatter-y Fun!
In typical bloodthirsty teenage behavior, I watched this movie repeatedly in high school. And loved every gory, disgusting moment! Ten years later, it's charm is not lost on me. Although I've mellowed over the years, every once in awhile I watch this movie to recapture a bit of my youth. Odd and disturbing, yes?
Poor, poor Lionel! Our hero has the Tarot card deck stacked against him from the beginning! When a cursed Rat Monkey from Sumatra bites his mother, Lionel must combat the zombie hordes that ensue with the help of the lovely Paquita and a kung fu master/Catholic priest.
Pure entertainment! If you are a fan of horror B-movies or campy zombie movies, this is the movie for you. Gross-outs galore; check out the ear in the custard scene! The quirky, esteemed Peter Jackson directs this gore fest; for which many a movie-nerd is grateful. Stay away if you have a weak stomach or lack a sense of humor!Shockingly Awesome Movie!
Shockingly Awesome Movie! Can't believe I missed this movie when it was released.
I found a GEM in the genre! You DON'T want to miss this one!
My sincere advice is, watch it, you will thank me later.Product Description
A son tries to keep the neighbors from finding out that his mother has turned into a murderous ghoul.Amazon.com essential video
If you're not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you'd better steer clear of this wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of New Zealand-born writer-director Peter Jackson. However, if nonstop mayhem and extreme violence are your idea of great entertainment, you're sure to appreciate Jackson's gleefully inventive approach to a story that can judiciously be described as sick, twisted, and totally outrageous. The movie's central character is a poor schmuck named Lionel who's practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when ol' Mum gets bitten by a rare and poisonous rat monkey from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh-eating zombie, Lionel has the unfortunate task of keeping Mama happy while fending off all the other zombies that result from her voracious feeding frenzies. If you've read this far, you'll either be crying out for censorship or eagerly awaiting your first viewing (or second, or third...) of this wildly clever and audaciously uninhibited movie. And while director Jackson would later achieve critical success with his fact-based drama Heavenly Creatures, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider Dead Alive a must-see movie. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com
Peter Jackson proves that if gory is funny, then excessive gory is downright hysterical. As our hapless hero wades through an ankle-deep puddle of blood and entrails, brandishing a lawnmower like a portable Cuisinart at the climax of this zombie-fest, you'll either be screaming with laughter or fleeing in disgust. Timothy Balme stars as the shy mama's boy Lionel, whose controlling shrew of a mother (Elizabeth Moody) starts rotting away, literally, with a vague supernatural disease. Mother dies but refuses to stay down, rising as a flesh-eating zombie infecting everyone she bites. Lionel tries to hide her in the basement, but the victims keep piling up and finally break out when Lionel's blackmailing uncle (a grotesque, leering Ian Watkin) throws a party in the house. It's snack time as the guests become undead hors d'oeuvres and rise again as hungry soldiers of the new zombie army marching on Lionel and his girl Pacquita (the lovely Diana Penalver). New Zealand goremeister Jackson pulls out all stops in this truly outrageous sanguinary comedy, from gross-out gags of oozing puss and rotting body parts at a formal dinner to slapstick antics as Lionel tries to keep his flesh-hungry mother sedated during the funeral to the final Freudian showdown between a now-monstrous mother and the newly liberated Lionel. If you like your horror with a sense of humor or your comedy with gristle, then wade through this taboo-busting bucket of blood. --Sean Axmaker
