Dead Alive (Braindead)

Before he directed The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson made Dead Alive (also known as Braindead), a legendary splatter-horror comedy. It is widely considered one of the goriest films ever made, but it uses that gore for comedic effect in a way that is both shocking and hilarious. The story follows a man whose overbearing mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey, leading to a zombie outbreak in his house. It is a wild, inventive, and incredibly fun ride for those with a strong stomach. It is a true cult classic of the genre.
