The imagination, comedy, wit, and gore makes Braindead (Dead-Alive) one of the best horror-comedies ever made. Peter Jackson's direction is so twisted and hilarious that it makes this film totally deserving of a nine-star review.
The acting is very good, despite a list of unknowns. This is one bloody, violent, and gory movie. Even the first three-minutes provide some nice hacking at limbs; but the monumental status this film hits is in its third-act, as all Hell breaks loose in Lionel's (the main character) house, as there is non-stop bloodshed -- and it's actually quite inventive. As for where the comedy plays in, it is all over the place, even though it primarily clings to slapstick, there's plenty of laughs to behold as there's a karate-chopping priest, a demented zombie baby, and intestines that come alive and cause our main protagonists quite some misfortune.
Overall, anyone looking for something hilarious to watch on a Friday or Saturday night is sure to find great enjoyment with Braindead. Definitely see this movie.
