Product Description

Product description

A son tries to keep the neighbors from finding out that his mother has turned into a murderous ghoul.
Genre: Horror
Rating: UN
Release Date: 17-AUG-2004
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com

If you're not a connoisseur of graphic horror and gruesome gore, you'd better steer clear of this wicked 1992 horror-comedy from the demented mind and delirious camera of New Zealand-born writer-director Peter Jackson. However, if nonstop mayhem and extreme violence are your idea of great entertainment, you're sure to appreciate Jackson's gleefully inventive approach to a story that can judiciously be described as sick, twisted, and totally outrageous. The movie's central character is a poor schmuck named Lionel who's practically enslaved to his domineering mother. But when ol' Mum gets bitten by a rare and poisonous rat monkey from Skull Island and is turned into a flesh-eating zombie, Lionel has the unfortunate task of keeping Mama happy while fending off all the other zombies that result from her voracious feeding frenzies. If you've read this far, you'll either be crying out for censorship or eagerly awaiting your first viewing (or second, or third...) of this wildly clever and audaciously uninhibited movie. And while director Jackson would later achieve critical success with his fact-based drama Heavenly Creatures, his talent is readily evident in this earlier effort. If you find this kind of thing even remotely appealing, consider Dead Alive a must-see movie. --Jeff Shannon

Some things won’t stay down even after they die
Well the case phrase says it all. Thank you so much for keeping this movie alive and thriving absolutely loving it no issues or flaws with the case or disc. Price definitely on the higher side for me. But being able to relieve a childhood movie memory from the early 90s absolutely makes up for a out of print movie you are having to pay those 3rd party prices. More reasonable compared to those other 3rd party prices most definitely gonna over look the price and give a well deserved 5 star.The manufacturer may have let this movie down gave up on producing it. BUT PARADISE FALLS MEDIA WILL NEVER LET IT DIE
Thank you for your feedback

Il prodotto è pressoché perfetto!
Ben sigillato, senza alcun graffio sia esternamente e internamente della confezione. Nuovo!
Cosa dire dei due film…
Semplicemente delle pietre miliari nel panorama Horror Splatter degli anni 80/90 Peter Jackson per me è un genio.
La spedizione è stata velocissima! Direi che sono più che soddisfatto! Bravi!
