BrainDead	comment	Released in 1992, Braindead (also known as Dead Alive in North America) is Peter Jackson's third feature film, a gory comedy in the vein of Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles.It is about a young man named Lionel (Timothy Balme) whose life takes a turn to the worse when his overbearing mother Vera (Elizabeth Moody) is bitten by a rat-monkey of Sumatra, infecting her with a strange disease that rapidly turns her into a hungry zombie that starts infecting every unlucky fellow that she comes across. If having a zombie mom wasn't enough of a problem, Lionel also has to deal with his opportunistic uncle Les (Ian Watkin) and hide his deadly secret from his girlfriend Paquita (Diana Peñalver).It is a squicktastic gore-fest, intentionally hilarious in all its splattery glory. That's all you need to know.Not to be confused with the 2016 dramedy series of the same name.

Or killed the zombies that she created rather than keep them all sedated. Or, when he finally did decide to kill them, to use some more traditional methods (like chopping them up or cremating them), instead of using what he and Paquita thought was poison (which was actually an animal stimulant). But alas, otherwise, there'd be no plot, and nothing to laugh at.

The zombies cannot be killed by destroying their brains, as their limbs and even entrails can develop minds of their own, like in The Return of the Living Dead. Instead, they must be completely mulched into bits. Furthermore, the zombies are shown to be capable of eating regular food, seem to retain a certain amount of human intelligence (very poor intelligence, but still), can reproduce, and after a while, may even mutate into bloated inhuman monsters.

When the two people finally pull him out, all that's left of his lower body is his bloodied leg bones, his pelvis and his feet still intact thanks to his shoes. Zombie Void, who while trying to break through the bottom of the bathroom door, has his stomach impaled by Lionel stomping him into the broken wood splinters. Void then crawls enough to rip himself in two so he could get to Lionel.

After her zombification, she gets worse. As the first major infectee, she starts off the chain of events that gradually causes other townsfolk to become zombies as well, and Lionel spends most of the film struggling to keep her and the rest of the zombies under control. She truly settles into her Big Bad role at the end, where she mutates into a horrifying zombie/rat monkey monstrosity and regains some of her sentience, and it's revealed that she drowned Lionel's father and his lover many years ago.

When he actually gets a date, she stalks the two and manipulates him into leaving her after getting bitten by an animal. The infection eventually turns Vera into a zombie, who turns several of the neighbors. As Lionel tries to deal with the zombie attack, he learns that Vera drowned her own husband along with his mistress. She then lied to her traumatized son and made him think he was at fault for his father's death, filling Lionel with a sense of guilt over something he wasn't responsible for. Soon after, she mutates into a giant monster and tries to force Lionel into her womb to be with him forever. Uncle Les manages to be an even worse person than Vera. He blackmails Lionel into giving him the house and his half of Vera's fortune, attempts to rape Paquita, then leaves her and Lionel to die at the hands of the zombies. He proves himself to be a competent zombie killer, but enjoys the slaughter way more than he should, torturing the zombified Father McGruder by pulling his teeth and boasting about how he's going to dismember an infected woman. In the end, it's quite satisfying to watch Paquita smash his head to bits against the counter.

BrainDead / int_fdf22cfd	type	Evil Is Hammy
BrainDead / int_fdf22cfd	comment	Evil Is Hammy: Good God, Uncle Les. He's a greedy, self-absorbed lecher who threatens to expose Lional's secret in exchange for his "fair" share of Gera's estate, being all of Vera's money, plus the house and even attempts to force himself on Paquita, but Ian Watkin's demented performance makes Uncle Les the biggest ham in the movie. At first playing the typical boisterous loudmouth back-slapping uncle with enough scenery-chewing gusto that it's no surprise Les is a heavyset fellow, once the zombies crash the party, Uncle Les barely speaks any dialogue below a bellowing holler and takes great relishing delight when he has to take on zombies, swinging, hacking and chopping with a pair cleavers hard enough that not a single part of his body stays still.

BrainDead / int_fea42091	comment	Badass Preacher: Father McGruder, the Kung Fu Priest, with the immortal line "I kick arse for the Lord!" Subverted in that his being badass causes his downfall. He kicks a zombie's head off. The zombie head lands right on his shoulder. He gets bitten.
