Review of Braindead

Braindead (1992)
8/10
So, this is how you finance a hobbit film! :-)

I've seen this movie in 1993 or 1994... whenever it was that it came out. My friends, all guys, convinced me that a horror film was just what we needed that day. I really don't remember much but I do want to say this: We had a great gross-out fun, and are still sometimes making references to the insanely (I have to use 'insanely' since apparently, 'retardedly' isn't a word in English language) funny scenes -- we still remember the baby zombie, the zombie bloodbath party, and of course, the LAWNMOWER.

Why am I writing a review now? I just saw "Slither" -- this time the kids convinced me that a horror film is just what we needed today -- and I liked it but I immediately recalled and recommended "Dead Alive", which is slightly better I think.

So I came here, saw that Slither and Dead Alive have very similar rating (it isn't only me) and I was surprised to see that the director was Peter Jackson, of the LOTR / KK fame! Man!!! I sort of like P.J. better now that I know his horror history! Another recommendation if you like "Dead Alive" is, of course, "From Dusk Till Dawn".
