Dead Alive Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : Peter Jackson

Producer : Jim Booth

Screenwriter : Stephen Sinclair, Frances Walsh, Peter Jackson

Starring : Timothy Balme, Diana PeƱalver, Elizabeth Moody, Ian Watkin, Brenda Kendall, Stuart Devenie, Jed Brophy

Before he discovered Kate Winslet in Heavenly Creatures, Peter Jackson's work looked more like it came from Troma. Dead Alive (aka Braindead) is the often-remade story of unslayable zombies, though Balme has a field day with them during the infamous half-hour scene which involves several dozen walking corpses, hundreds of gallons of red-tinted maple syrup (aka blood), and a lawn mower.

Use your imagination.
