Braindead AKA Dead Alive(US Title) -1992-
Director:
Peter Jackson
Writers:
Stephen Sinclair (story)
Stephen Sinclair (screenplay)
Starring
Timothy Balme ... Lionel Cosgrove
Diana Peñalver ... Paquita Maria Sanchez
Elizabeth Moody ... Mum (Vera Cosgrove)
Ian Watkin ... Uncle Les
Plot
Lionel, a Mama's boy has the unwanted honor of having to look after his overbearingly evil mother. He ends up falling in love with a local woman who believes that they're destined together. In a moment of intentional sabotage of one of their dates, his mother is bitten by a mysterious creature that ends up zombifying her. It's only a matter of time before she rises from the dead a powerful, bloodthirsty zombie and starts infecting residents of the town and Lionel has to stop her...and them.
Review
This is Peter Jackson's forth movie he directed. It's kind of cheesy, no, it's very cheesy. Very cheep affects, but it adds to the charm of this movie. I read somewhere that he finished about $45,000 (NZ) under budget and decided to film the scene in the park, one of my favorite scenes. The movie states that the bond between a mother and son can never be broken, until the end of the movie. For people who like zombies and blood and guts it's very cool, there is even a zombie digestive track that keeps chasing after Lionel!
And picking up the slack for Loki...
I rate this movie 4 head shots out of 5

Out running a killer is like out running a bear, you don't have to run just have a friend that is slower than you!

Oh this movie is the definition of cheesy. C'mon... a Kung Fu priest!! (I kick ass for the lord!) And I love the massive amounts of gore that was pumped into this movie. Plus, I think Jackson broke the world record for most fake blood on one scene (The lawnmower scenes)

Things I Learned From This Movie:
..There was another streetcar named "Abstinence."
..A man's sexual activity is inversely proportional to his mother's health.
..Septic is the medical term used to describe when a wound is full of Pepto-Bismol-flavored pudding.
..Rubber cement is a first aid product.
.."Shuriken" is Japanese for "porcelain duck."
..Embalming machines are nearly indistiguishable from a cotton gin.
..Zombies can get knocked up.
..Afterbirth causes radio interference.
..ALWAYS read the ENTIRE warning label on a bottle of poison BEFORE you give it to your mum.
..The best defense against the undead is a well-deployed lawn gnome.
..Electrical wire should never be used in lieu of bungee cord.
