DEAD ALIVE


Peter Jackson’s pre-KING KONG and pre-LORD OF THE RINGS masterpiece!

This starts out in the jungle, switches over to almost a polite society movie in New Zealand and then becomes a gorefest.

A chap named Lionel lives with his widowed Mum. On an outing to the zoo, she gets too close to the cage of the Sumatran Rat Monkey. It bites her and, due to a bizarre type of rabies, Mum becomes very ill. At a society luncheon, her ear falls off into a bowl of what looks like tapioca. This really is the beginning of the end of Mum’s humanity. It’s Zombie time!

Mum starts spreading the Zombie disease rapidly. Miraculously Lionel is spared from the plague. He does, however, learn a startling truth about his mother towards the end of the film.

Mutant babies, death by lawnmower, a kung fu priest who likes to “kick ass for the Lord” – hey, this movie has it all.
This movie is not for everyone, but I highly recommended for everyone who is not easily offended or has a weak stomach.

Note: you must get the UNRATED version of this if you can find it.
