Not to be mistaken for Dead or Alive, as there are much more accents and much less tits.
This movie has been raved as "the goriest film ever made" by a few people, and as a person who watches Japanese movies where everyone has haemophilia and is full of pressurised air, I was ready to make that call stand the test of time. It took about an hour, but the movie actually lived up to its claim in the last 30 minutes. Dead Alive (also known as BrainDead) is a not a zombie movie, but rather a living dead movie. What's the difference? Well lets run a few scenarios here.
Blow the head off
Zombie: Dead
Dead Alive: You now have a pissed off set of arms and legs looking for you.
Rip the organs out:
Zombie: Still after you
Dead Alive: Still after you, only now you have a set of LIVING internal organs attacking you too.
Conversion factor:
Zombie: Must bite you
Dead Alive: Kills you in any way (including just ripping your head off, no bite), you're dead... then undead.
So it follows the basic idea, I don't know what to call the creatures, but for the sake of classics let's call them zombies. However Dead Alive takes it to a new pants shitting level, when every part of the body becomes it's own living organism once seperated. It all starts with a monkey bite and shit rolls down hill from there. To top this off they put a few nice touches on the film that should be on everyone's movie checklist.
Copious Amounts of Gore - Check
Child Abuse - Check
Zombie Sex - Fucking Check
Rating: 9/10 The movie is like a perfect lover, strats off slow and has a strong finish.
