Braindead (1993)

Great Film overall

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Greatest low budget gory film that has ever been made.

before making the incredible trilogy The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson ventured into films like Braindead, a well-trash film, the story is quite bizarre, a monkey-rat of Sumatra that when it bites people turns it into zombies, bizarre, the script is problematic, the cast even not being so well known, at least at the time, they are competent, the makeup is done well, the film has a lot of blood, has very strong scenes, you will see many organ in the film, the film is funny , you can give good film of laughter, the direction of Peter Jackson is good, the soundtrack is good, and the last minutes of the film are good, Braindead sins in the script, more is fun and bloody, most also disgusting. Note 8.0

This movie is so crappy it's delightful. It's so bad that it's funny. Although it is an interesting concept, the movie is ridiculous. This was supposed to be a horror movie, and gory! NOT! This should be in the comedy genre. Just remember to lower your expectations with this movie and maybe you'll enjoy it. I mean I know it's a 1992 movie, but really?? They could have put some more effort into this one. So much potential, wasted. Maybe if you get a little tipsy or drunk, you could really enjoy this movie. This is one you watch when you are utterly bored out of your mind. I only watched this movie because there was nothing on TV and I desperately needed something to do.

This is in my opinion the best zombie film out there! The effects they used back then are just mind blowing especially in the digital age we are in now where practical effects are nearly a lost art. From the stop motion animation to the quirky color of the blood used, this is an absolute gem! I would love to see this film re-made by Peter Jackson himself or at least produce it, but part of me likes keeping it secret so when a friend needs a good recommendation I can break Braindead out and relive the experience every time. Even after all his success with LOTR and The Hobbit, I will always come back to this as Peter Jacksons best work. A total box office failure because a true cult classic among horror fans.
