"I kick ass for the Lord!"

Movie Review

If you're watching Dead-Alive for the first time, don't be fooled by the beginning. At first, I really didn't like the beginning at all because it seemed like a cheesy romantic comedy, but maybe now I'm growing soft in my old age. I actually kind of like it now. It really works with the whole movie because it starts off pretty small and then it works up into this amazing spectacle of zombies and blood.

As soon as the words "What in God's name is going on here?" are cast forth from the lips of the world's first ass-kicking kung-fu priest Father McGruder, it's all good. His divine intervention could possibly be the greatest scene in motion picture history. Words just can't describe it.
Never before have I seen violence handled so creativly. Every possible internal organ is exposed in some way, and people get torn to pieces all over the place, an old guy eats body parts that fell in a bowl of custard, there's zombie sex, and Uncle Les, the uncle with the urinary tract infection, stabs a zombie with a yard gnome! The climax is when our hero, Lionel, takes out about 50 zombies with a lawnmower. I have never seen so much blood! I was speachless when I first saw it. Pure genious!

The beginning sucks, the middle is amazing, and the end...is so-so. The gore alone in this movie is revolutionary, extremely creative and unbelievably entertaining. However, I don't appreciate the anatomically correct giant Lionel's mom at the end. It gives me the willies.

DVD Review

The DVD itself is quality, but it really doesn't have that many options. The menu looks cool and it has some creepy music playing in the back, but you can only play the movie, mess around with the subtitles, it has direct scene access like all DVD's, and it has a trailer. It's broken up into a decent amount of chapters. So feature-wise there isn't much to it, but the movie itself is amazing.
