DEAD/ALIVE
(aka
Braindead)
With Timothy Balme, Diana Peñalver, Elizabeth Moody, Ian Watkin, Stuart Devenie Directed by Peter Jackson With a great grasp of not only the filmmaking process, but also colloquial humour and special FX, this early triumph from the Oscar™ winning director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy splats onto the screen with one hell of a bang. In this, Jackson’s third feature, Lionel lives with his domineering mother. When she is bitten by a psycho ape in the zoo she turns into a rabid zombie, infecting many others. Lionel has met a girl, and has to try and contain the bunch of dribbling puss-bags while attempting to live a normal life. The gore factor rates high and hilarious, with slapstick horror all over the place, leaving Lionel (literally) knee deep in blood and guts by the finale. A true classic. 6 / A - PB 1 2 3 4 5 6 A - B - C |
