From Splatter to Middle-earth: A Review of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive
Before the epic battles of Middle-earth, there was the ultimate suburban bloodbath. Join us as we explore the early, gloriously gross work of Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson with a review of his 1992 splatter masterpiece, Dead Alive (also known as Braindead).
This is the film that put a new spin on splatstick (splatter + slapstick), setting a world record for the amount of fake blood used in a single scene. We are diving into the bizarre, hilarious, and stomach-churning tale of Lionel Cosgrove (Tim Balme), a mama's boy whose overbearing mother (Elizabeth Moody) is bitten by a Sumatran Rat-Monkey at the zoo, turning her into a rapidly decaying, ravenous zombie—and starting an infection that threatens to ruin his burgeoning romance with Paquita (Diana Peñalver).
What We Cover:
Unleashing the Gore: An appreciation for the film’s legendary practical effects, including the infamous lawnmower scene, the Kung Fu priest, and the unforgettable zombie baby. This is the ultimate zombie comedy for gorehounds.
The Director's Journey: We discuss how the mind behind Dead Alive—a hyper-violent, low-budget horror cult classic—managed to transition to helm the universally acclaimed The Fellowship of the Ring and the entire The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Family, Romance, and Mayhem: Breaking down the dark comedy themes of the overbearing mother, toxic masculinity, and the sweet, warped love story at the film's gooey center.
Cast & Crew Highlights: Featuring performances from Ian Watkin and co-writer Fran Walsh (a long-time collaborator of Jackson's).
If you’re a Peter Jackson fan curious about his truly mad early work, a horror comedy aficionado, or just looking for the goriest movie ever made, grab your shears and prepare for an incredibly bloody, cartoonishly violent ride!
