Description
Originally released as “Braindead” in New Zealand, this was the splatterfest masterpiece of a then lesser-known indie filmmaker named Peter Jackson. Before he gave the world “The Lord of Rings” and “The Hobbit” films, Jackson gave us one of the funniest and goriest zombie attacks ever put on film with “Dead Alive.” When poor Lionel’s mother is bitten by some diseased animal, a zombie plague soon starts spreading like wildfire, and Lionel is suddenly fending off a horde with his lawnmower. With its memorable dinner scene, and shocking epic finale, this film deserves its cult status.
