Dead-Alive: I had heard a lot about this movie...I read a few posts on the imdb.com's message boards and a lot of fans of the film said that Dead-Alive has got to be the goriest film...ever. Of course there was arguments but who cares? So I finally saw it. I found it quite bad. It took WAY to long to build up the story and that rat monkey thing looked retarded. I wasn't impressed with the gore...if any. The comedy? HArdly any...people said this film was like the Evil Dead series...with dark and slapstick humor. The so called "humor" was probably the Zombie baby in the park...but even then it wasn't that hillarious. It was no different than the scene with Mini Me and Austin Powers in Goldmember...where Austin is hitting Mini Me in a couch cover...it's been done to the death.

The Zombies looked pretty good but they didn't do anything new or original. The best part of the film of course was when the main character comes into his house, a large mansion, and starts up his lawnmower (Which is slung over his chest) Then starts chopping up Zombies...but of course...as soon as you thought some gore was gonna come into play...the camera cuts away to a shot of a girl screaming. Another good part was the Zombies having sex...but that just grossed me out. The dumbest part was at the very end where the main characters mother turns into a giant super zombie thats about two stories high...the whole ending was weak and no fun. I don't see how this film has a cult following.

This website has a bloodier Zombie film than Dead Alive. Takeback 2 And I enjoyed it more and will watch it a hundred more times before I see Dead Alive again.

Does anybody have any opinions on Peter Jackson's other film, BAD TASTE? Is it any good? Or in order to like it I would probably have enjoyed Dead Alive?

I liked Dead Alive. Actually even more so than Lord of the Rings.

i thought deadAlive was pretty good. The baby was really funny, the mother was incredibly disgusting and all the other zombies were pretty humorous as well. especially the preacher and the nurse. I wouldn't compare it to evil dead 1 or 2 perhaps evil dead 3, as there is nothing scary in dead alive, it takes a much more slapsticky(word?) route. The only thing i didnt like was the mother zombie puppet in the very end. The movie is not the goriest movie ever made, it gets that title b/c of how much blood ,per gallons, was used in that lawnmower scene. thatts just liquid gore, and thats no biggie. If you didnt like this one, you'll probobly hate BadTaste as it is much slower than deadalive and not nearly as gory. The Aliens dont even really show up until 3/4 through and even then, they dont do much other than fire guns. I'd definately rent it vbefore you buy it.

"It was no different than the scene with Mini Me and Austin Powers in Goldmember...where Austin is hitting Mini Me in a couch cover...it's been done to the death."

dude dead alive came out in like 1992 and goldmember was like 2002............if your going to make comparasons like that atleast compare the movie your complaining about to something earlier......

and you must have seen the pansy R rated cut......get the UNRATED one.......which is the goriest movie ever made............and bad taste is the §hit aswell.......some of the coolest chainsaw §hit in the world.......

BAD TASTE is about aliens who come to earth to harvest human flesh for a fast food chain in outer space.........as for my name it wasn't spelled right in the first place.......i just never bothered to change it.......what it means is purely subjective
