Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead)
Directed by Peter Jackson

Sweet fucking christ! This movie is so damn gory.This is probably the goriest film I've ever seen.

The movie is basically about Lionel, a momma's boy, who goes the to the local zoo with Paquita. While looking at some monkeys, Lionel's mom gets bitten by this monkey which turns her slowly into a zombie.

When Lionels mom finally turns into a zombie he tries to keep it under wraps, but fails. Now the zombie fun starts to happen.

There are some pretty fun parts to this movie, and some dumb ones.

Theres the great scene of Lionel trying to escape from the zombies only to end up running in one spot cause theres so much blood on the floor, he eventually has to step on body parts to get anywhere.

Probably the worst part, but the bloodest is the demise of Lionels dear old Granny. I read somewhere that there was over 40 gallons of blood used just for the scene. That's a lot of blood.

I got this movie yesterday and I found it very boring to begin with but after the first 10 minutes you really get into it.

This movie is one you really should add to your collection, but try to find the Japanese version which is 104 mintues long and the most uncut there is.
