Aro Favourite Braindead

 

aka: Dead Alive
New Zealand 1992, 107 minutes
Dir. Peter Jackson
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Horror, Comedy / Black Comedy, Splatter

Topics: Period 1950s.

 

Aroview: Local prodigy's magnum opus may well be the last word in zombie film. What begins as a nervous romance for naive young Lionel soon turns into a blood-drenched orgy of limbs and lawnmowers, as '50s Wellington falls victim to a hideous virus. The period details are spot-on, as is Tim Balme's (award) winning performance in the main role.

Aro Video's apology to the purists:
Due to theft, Our current rental copy of the film is not the full 107 minute uncensored version (although our 97 minute US cut is more vastly liberal than an 85 minute version that they tried to sell on home video in the 1990's)
