Braindead/Dead Alive KBM - 6 JONA - 7 Inviso - 15 Snake - 19 Charon - 21 Genny - 25 Scarlet - 33 Johnbobb - 37 Karo - 39 KBM - The pinnacle of the splatter horror gore-fest subgenre, this movie is just a blast to watch. I don't know if I've ever seen a filmmaker have so much fun just going as over-the-top as humanly possible with gore effects as Peter Jackson does here, and it's a testament of what a talented filmmaker he is that even the gross-out elements of the movie work because of the tongue-in-cheek sense of humor at work here. It's a masterpiece of intentionally tasteless horror-comedy, and one that really, really works for me. Such great bloody fucking mayhem that even the Evil Dead series can't match. JONA - The movie is pretty funny with how spineless Lionel could be and the constant hiding of anything being wrong. The relationship between him and Paquita is also pretty nice and they have good chemistry together. Im glad I decided not to eat while watching this because the lunch scene was really gross. The climax of the movie is just glorious, with the amount of action and gore shown. What really makes this movie so memorable is just how absolutely disgusting and amazingly gory it could be. Inviso - This movie is gross and I more than likely would never want to watch it againbut I still found it compelling and fascinating at the same time. The plot is thinner than skim milk for sure, but this really isnt about plot. Its about weird and over-the-top characters surviving in an even-weirder and more over-the-top zombie situation. Every character (except the Hispanic shopkeep, somehow) is a one-note caricature, and yet the movie still manages to work because its not about characterization or anything like that. Its about a horrid old woman getting bitten by an evil monkey, rapidly decomposing, and slowly infecting a large group of people to serve as grotesque zombies. The last twenty minutes of zombie warfare are hilarious, and the insanity just builds to a whole house party of zombies, the use of a goddamn lawnmower as a weapon, and the main character clawing his way out of his zombie demon mother in a rebirth scenario. I should also mention that the movie randomly tacks on both a tarot card prediction of the shopkeepers love life, AND a subplot about the main characters father drowning, because the movie apparently needed both of those things. Its crazy and gross, but I HAVE to give props for the practical effects. Oh, and also, the priest kung fu scene is fucking amazing. I kick ass for the Lord! indeed. Snake - Why I Chose It - Perhaps the pinnacle of the splatter film, Braindead (or Dead Alive in NA) has the reputation of being the "bloodiest" film in history. It is also the most representative of Peter Jackson's early filmmaking sensibilities, with an affinity for the strange, mass carnage & black comedy. My Thoughts - I've never seen such a delightful movie that has so much gore and grossness. This film is off-the-rails insane and I like almost every minute of it. The storyline is strangely compelling and gives the gore scenes an enjoyable background to work with. It's also just straight-up hilarious, Peter Jackson pulls off tongue-in-cheek humor flawlessly. Perhaps it overstays it's welcome, but certain scenes are just so good and disgusting that it doesn't even bother me. --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:924120812] in Gauntlet C... [t:77812973]...</cite> <quote>22.
