Editorial Reviews:
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

Summary: Awesomely bad horror flick.
Comment: This movie is Amazing. Over the top gory! Just super ridiculous. Meant to be scary but it's just insanity. I loved it!

Summary: The Ultimate Gore-Fest
Comment: WOW. I guess I should have seen this many years ago, but am just now experiencing this little bloody journey. Twisted but fun and oh, how it grows on you. The second and third time around I couldn't take my eyes off of the creepy baby. There's also a deliciously tacky cameo of 4E Ackerman at the zoo (good for Jackson that he paid homage where homage is due). I think this was Jackson's first venture into moviemaking. Happily, he improved with age, but the elements of his future brilliance can actually be discerned beneath the sanguine flood...

Summary: Funny
Comment: Definitely laughed a lot. One of those good horror movies filled with gore that disgusts you as well as make you laugh at the ridiculousness.

Summary: One of the Goriest Movies Ever!!!
Comment: This is probably the goriest movie ever made! I love all the gore effects! Lionel and Paquita visit a zoo where a deadly rat-monkey has been brought. His demanding mother spies on them and gets bitten by the rat-monkey. Later, she turns into a zombie and starts eating people. Lionel hides all the dead people in the basement. Later, Lionel's stupid uncle throws a party in the house, and all the zombies escape to feast on the party-goers. The eating and the way Lionel uses the lawnmower to kill the zombies was awesome! But he still has to deal with mother! If you love zombies and extreme gore, you'll love DEAD ALIVE!!!

Summary: Finally Delivers
Comment: Dead Alive is one of the few films that actually delivers what it promises, it's got the gore. As far as the story is concerned, it's your typical flick, but this movie did something I have never seen in a horror movie before. My favorite scene is probably the girl who gets her head knocked into a light bulb and her head lights up like jack-o-lantern. If you like Evil Dead or Sean of the Dead, you will like this.
