Buy This Item Dead Alive by Lions Gate  Available from Amazon  $5.99  on 11-14-2008     If you're not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you'd better steer clear of this wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of New Zealand-born writer-director Peter Jackson. However, if nonstop mayhem and extreme violence are your idea of great entertainment, you're sure to appreciate Jackson's gleefully inventive approach to a story that can judiciously be described as sick, twisted, and totally outrageous. The movie's central character is a poor schmuck named Lionel who's practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when ol' Mum gets bitten by a rare and poisonous rat monkey from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh-eating zombie, Lionel has the unfortunate task of keeping Mama happy while fending off all the other zombies that result from her voracious feeding frenzies. If you've read this far, you'll either be crying out for censorship or eagerly awaiting your first viewing (or second, or third) of this wildly clever and audaciously uninhibited movie. And while director Jackson would later achieve critical success with his fact-based drama <I>Heavenly Creatures</I>, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider <I>Dead Alive</I> a must-see movie. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews I give props to the props department LOL, but this movie STUNK! I agree it was the goriest movie made in the 90's, but how stupid of a plot!!! My god, it was like watching fake blood and brains splatter on a camera for 90 minutes...not so hot...some parts I must admit were pretty funny...
