Product Description

Product Description

Peter Jackson directs this very gory comedy/horror. 25-year-old Lionel Cosgrove has never even kissed a girl, and so is excited when the lovely Paquita, a Spanish girl who works in the corner shop, arranges a nocturnal tryst with him in the zoo. Unfortunately, Lionel's over-possessive mother, spying on them from the bushes, is bitten by a Sumatran Monkey Rat, and soon develops a craving for raw meat. Upon learning of this, Lionel tries to warn his new love of his mother's strange cannibalistic habits before it is too late.

From Amazon.co.uk

If you're not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you'd better steer clear of Braindead, a wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of writer-director Peter Jackson, years before he went on to mainstream success with The Lord of the Rings. However, if non-stop 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. While director Jackson would later achieve far greater critical and box-office successes, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider Braindead a must-see movie. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 starsDead and/or alive
By EA Solinas HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 6 July 2006
Format: DVD
Currently Peter Jackson is reknowned for his fantasy movies and exceptional cult remakes. But once upon a time, he was better known for splatter-gore horror movies, like the "Dead Alive," a bizarrely hilarious movie full of zombies, rat-monkeys and messy death. Glorious!

Lionel (Timothy Balme) is a downtrodden young man, who has the unpleasant honor of caring for his nasty mum (Elizabeth Moody). Then he meets store clerk Paquita (Diana Peñalver), and the two young people fall in love. Unfortunately, during a date to the zoo, his mom follows them so she can wreck his date.

She succeeds, sort of -- she gets bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey from Skull Island (the same one where Kong came from?) and dies. But poor Lionel can't get off that easily -- because of the bite, his mom comes back to life as a flesh-eating zombie. Soon zombies are running amok, and Lionel and Paquita must find a way to get rid of them. Can true love triumph over the undead?

Be forewarned: this movie is gross. Very disgusting. Lots of fluids and body parts, and zombies eating people in detail. And the whole movie climaxes with hundreds of zombies crashing a party, and a spectacularly gory sequence involving a, uh, lawnmower and chainsaw.

But gore alone doesn't make a movie a cult hit -- any idiot can make a zombie movie. This one is special because of Jackson's twisted sense of humor; "Shaun of the Dead" definitely owes a stylistic debt to him. How many movies do you see where a character tries to clean up the blood after Zombie Mom has lunch?

Jackson sprinkles his 1950s setting with all sorts of weird characters -- a kung-fu reverend and a Nazi vet among them.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFunny, gory, entertaining
By Felix Satanis on 20 Aug. 2011
Format: DVD
Peter Jackson at his goriest!!!
Not only the plot, which is a sort of mixture between Psycho, The Evil Dead and Re-Animator, is quite convincing and a rather nice persiflage of the named classics, but also the acting is good considering the type of film it is.
You should always go for the uncut version, otherwise you will miss some of the funniest scenes where the splatter effects are really that overexaggerated you will have a tummy ache for laughing so hard.
A great film, not only for fans of splatter films.
This might as well be the greatest splatter film ever made.

5.0 out of 5 starsANYONE FOR CUSTARD??
By Adrian Sands on 7 April 2003
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I can only sum this dvd up in 1 word - MENTAL!! This has got to be the wackiest, no holds barred Gorefest i have ever seen. If you have seen any other Peter Jackson's early stuff (Bad taste for example) and thought it was pushing the boundaries of sick, this takes it to a whole new Level! Some of the most hilariously bizarre and sickest Scenes i have ever seen on dvd are contained in this film - Zombie baby (you'll understand when u see it!!) and kung fu priest "I kick ass for the Lord!!" are definitely something that you'll want to see over and over - Just for the sheer madness of it!
Better than bad taste, this film will not win any awards for great acting or script, but this is pure novelty - Really really funny, I know some comedy films these days are not funny but this is unbelievable,
Brilliant!!

4.0 out of 5 starsmore gore than you could ever dream of
By sean paul mccann on 25 July 2006
Format: DVD
Braindead is quite simply the most insane,gore depraved film of all time,blood,intestines,guts,hearts and more flood the screen in technicolour glory,peter jackson challenged the decency system in bad taste,but in braindead the insanity factor was raised beyond what could be deemed as acceptable,but who wants a boring horror anyway,there is so much going on here that you would almost need to watch it in slow motion.

Thats not to say that the plot is overbearing,it isnt!There is a monkey that is captured and placed in zoo but the monkey is infected with a disease that kills and then brings you back to life as a zombie,some infection,wouldnt you agree?,and when the main characters mother is bitten only death awaits and the excessive blood which is so overblown that you cant help but laugh starts to follow,you know that a cult classic has been born,this isnt a film that you can watch with film fans who like a plot to be detailed and a beginning,middle and end,this is manic work at its best,hail hail braindead.

5.0 out of 5 starsA top 5 movie
By James Watling on 5 Feb. 2006
Format: DVD
I think you have to look a little further past the 'cringe inducing acting' to the quality of the storytelling here - not to mention some of the most hilarious sight gags ever committed to celluloid. Yes it's horribly bad taste from start to finish but it's a minor work of art, way more accomplished than Bad Taste and Jackson's subversive take on The Muppets 'Meet The Feebles'. Stomach the gore, swallow the bad acting on show and lap up a movie directed with true love and devotion. Just check your custard for lumps.

5.0 out of 5 stars'A Guide of how to make a Zombie film'
By Xchicane on 16 Feb. 2007
Format: DVD
They've taken every Zombie effect and used it and more to make this laugh a minute gore fest. Its not scary in anyway, I generally avoid Horror films but this was excellent.

The effects are classic B movie, but thats its charm, although 'charm'is not a word i'd normally use when describing a film with this much blood. Its played totally straight by the actors who must have been creasing up during the filming with every scene jam packed with a Zombie effect.

Buy it for a good laugh, its not scary but Very gorey so make sure your not too squeamish.
