Oh yeah, 'Dead Alive' my favorite zombie film!
If you loved 'Army of Darkness' you'll probably love this movie. Just don't see it if you've a weak stomach, it's far and away the most disgusting, gross film I've ever seen.
By Kiwi director Peter Jackson I couldn't find any agenda the film was pushing (other than if your mum turns into a zombie don't lock her in the cellar) which is refreshing these days. Just a simple, amazingly gross, fun movie.
BTW: In Jackson's remake of 'King Kong' look closely at the background cages when they take Mr. Driscal down to his quarters in the hold, you'll see one small cage labeled 'Sumatrian (sp?) Rat Monkey', a nod to 'Dead Alive'.
"you'll see one small cage labeled 'Sumatrian (sp?) Rat Monkey', a nod to 'Dead Alive'."
Whoa! I didn't make that connection!! The good ol' zombie-causing Rat Monkey!!
