Dead Alive (DVD, 1998, Unrated Version)

Anyone who is a horror fan would probably love this movie. It's got a decent plot with some pretty silly acting, but the acting kind of makes the movie... TONS of blood, gore and guts, and some pretty cheesy scenes.....it keeps you engaged until the very end and laughing the whole time. It's nice to watch a movie that you can't predict what is going to happen. I would reccommend this movie to anyone who likes other horror flicks such as the Evil Dead series, Dawn of the Dead or any other kind of zombie based type horror movie.

This is perhaps one of the best "Camp Horror" movies in modern times. Peter Jackson shows his phenomenal styling throughout the picture. Being filmed in New Zealand it takes some getting used to in listening to their semi-aussie accents, but any Gore-fest, mixed with brilliant comedy and a dash of love story attached, becomes an amazing story. And a word of advice: When you go to the zoo, stay away from the monkey cage!

Long before he made epics like Lord of the Rings and King Kong, Peter Jackson made this! And this is a cult classic. One of the goriest horror movies ever, but it is also extremely funny.

Dead Alive is a hilarious movie. I was not scared so much but rather amused and disgusted by the ammount of gore. This film has an exessive ammount of blood and guts. So much that it the film crosses into comedy. The story is fairly simple but has some good twists. It's your basic zombie film with an interesting back story. The build up is excellent. It starts off with a little bit or realism and as the story progresses becomes more and more ridiculous. The film has a dreamy quality about it. The residents live in what seems like a lovely town. The characters are exagerated stereotypes, yet they are very charming. As the films progresses it becomes more and more absurd in it's plot and ammount of violence. This is an early Peter Jackson film. I strongly suggest viewing it atleast once, especially if you are a fan of horror and comedy.

First of all, let me state that this film was probably the last hurrah for the gore-filled late 80's films & whatta way to go! Released in 1992, Dead Alive is one of the most goriest films ever to come out of New Zealand (or anywhere else really!). Taking place in 1957, a rare and dangerous animal, offically known as Simian Raticus (the Rat Monkey Sumatra) is taken from it's home at Skull Island and brought to a local zoo. What the visitors don't know is that this monkey has an infectious bite, one that turns anyone into a bloodthirsty zombie! When Lionel, a young man with a smothering Mother who watches his every move, takes his newly found girlfriend Paquita to that zoo, he gets more than he ever bargained for! You see, while he & Paquita enjoys the zoo, Mother is spying on them, only to accidentally get bitten by that monkey (Uh, oh!). After Mother gives the animal the boot (watch & see), Lionel takes her home to get well, but as we all know in these movies, that ain't going to happen! Soon Mother gets ill.......really ill! And the zombie-ness begins! When Zombie-Mom gets loose, she takes a nurse with her, and it ain't to the hospital either! After mom's "funeral", she meets a few more of the town locals, including Father McGruder, who apparently "Kicks #$% For The Lord", and soon we have quite a little Zombie-party going on here. That is until Lionel's house becomes host to an actual party by his money-hungry Uncle Les. But no one tells the party-goers that the Zombie's are the real guests of honor! So what do you do when you have a party with eventually a hundred or so uninvited zombies? You break out the lawnmower and get to "weeding" them out, of course! I think I've told you enough to get your interest in this movie, but if that didn't do it, consider this: I personally own about 75 horror DVD's & Dead Alive is the most goriest, sickest, disturbing, and funniest of my bunch (it's even more of these things than "Evil Dead II:Dead By Dawn"!). The DVD has a nice, crisp picture that's letterboxed, and has a very nice stereo mix too. So, if you want a horror movie that you'll be finding yourself showing everybody you know again & again, then get Dead Alive! You won't be sorry........oh, I almost forgot about the Zombie-Baby! Well, I'll let you get the movie and see for yourself.

If you like evil dead and army of darkness or any Bruce Campbell, then you'll love this funny and bloody movie.

Peter Jackson fans should pick this one up. If you are also a lover of films such as "EVIL DEAD" or the other films in the series..you'll love this one. It's very campy, but is suppose to be. It's funny and at the same time out right gross in parts, very graphic and bloody but done in a tongue in check type humor. The scene with the LIVING COLON will make you laugh and have you replaying ti a few times for the sick laugh it brings.

this movie is the unrated one. if you get the rated, just forget it. it's not even worth seeing.
great seller, fast shipping.
no case or artwork, but the movie is awesome enough to make up for it!

this is the type of movie that you can watch over and over and still pick out things you didnt notice before.. but try to get the unrated version bc the rated version cuts out alot of the movie and actually makes it a little confusing.. and the last scene makes the whole movie.. one word...LAWNMOWER

bought the movie because i love horror movies....caught it on tv several months ago and was like........."what the!".........by far one of the strangest,weirdest ,funniest,bloodiest movies ever!.....go see it....trust me

Brand New great condition perfect price shipped out quickly. Would buy from this seller again would recomend to others.

Really quick and movie arrived in great condition. I was really happy with my delivery and I would buy from this company again

After first viewing the movie, I and my friend, liked the movie so much, that I secretely purchased the movie for his collection as a gift.

The movie was different and surprisingly entertaining.

It was the fastest shipment i've seen. The quality in the dvd is excellent. This movie is rare for this part of the country and i found it here first. It makes a good addition for my collection and I hope to have more transactions with this company in the near future.

I loved the movie! Peter Jackson is up there on my list of directors. I am also obsessed with zombies

The Best of it's kind. Not to be missed. Laugh out loud funny. The gore is over the top and the special effects are superb. Get this movie!

To be fair, this film was designed to please the B rated horror fans. Plain and simple it does just that and little else. The movie has some great zombie moments such as the famous lawn mower scene but the story is lacking and the film is not memorable. I would recommend Evil Dead 2 over this film, but if you are hungry for some far fetched zombie action and want to see a person being attacked by a zomies guts then this is the flick for you.

The movie gets an average rating since it is extremely creative with the death scenes and zombies, however the poor film quality, bad acting, and lack of any real plot bring it down from being more.

Ranks among the greatest gore flicks of all time,
Tired of Saw and Hostel? Torture Porn is not horror films!
A true example of fright and gore at it's best.
If you don't own this, you might as well be Dead Alive.

This movie to start off was just nuts. Then it gets even more nuts. There is a crazy chase in the beginning with a super angry rat monkey also known as "Sanjaya". Then all the crazy gets even crazier. From ear soup, to zombie sex, to crazy evil babies, to the lawn mower mow down on the dance floor and finishing up with perhaps the meanest granny ever. This movie will leave you feeling queezy, dizzy, confused, and searching for a reason why you bought/rented it in the first place cause you know you'll never watch it again. Then maybe a way to rewrap it and fix the sticker back on it for a return. Peter Jackson may of made lord of the rings, but he definitely had a few kinks to work out before hand and this movie was one of them. Holy retardedness.

If you're into fiarly goofy splatter films with great effects for its day, you'll be completely satisfied with this one! Just when you think it couldn't get much more disgusting and gory, it steps one notch further to enhance and surprise you. The characters are a great enjoyment!! A cleverly Creative love/horror story! After watching this film, you might feel obligated to use your push lawn mower for something other than cutting grass... Enjoy!!

one of the best comedy/horror movies ever made if you have the choice of buying the unrated or the rated r, the unrated version has the lawnmower seen and if you have seen this movie before or if you like alot of gore than it is definatly the choice you want to make.

A must have for any zombie movie freak!!! This movie Rocks!! Its amazing to see where Peter Jackson started from to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I wish someone would bring back the "oldschool" zombie flicks!!They just don't make em like this anymore!!

This has got to be one of the scariest, funniest movies of all time! Filmed prior to an age where mindblowing special effects have been replaced by mindnumbing CGI, Dead Alive is a must have for B-movie, cult classic, horror fans and collectors!
