60 of 157 · most liked firstEVIL DEAD BURN is hilarious, lawless in its gore, and... principled. It's actually about something and it's smart and moral about how it's about it. It's a serious film disguised as an infernal charnel house. ABIGAIL'S PARTY via BRAINDEAD. It's phenomenal. CW: extreme dog violence

neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 34 years ago today (August 13, 1992) Peter Jackson's blood-splattered gore madness "Braindead" hit New Zealand theatres! Jackson's 3rd feature film stars Timothy Balme, Diana Peñalver, Elizabeth Moody, Ian Watkin, Brenda Kendall & Stuart "I Kick Ass For The Lord" Devenie! Total cult perfection!
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't wait to not watch Peter Jackson's 8 hours of Gollum staring in to a river while picking his arse, wishing he was making a new Frighteners or Braindead style movie instead.
neutral · AI labelView post →On this night (5th February) in 1993, the Scala Cinema was showing Braindead (1992), Doppelgänger (1993), Night Of The Living Dead ‘90 (1990), Eddie Presley (1992) and From A Whisper To A Scream (1987) with short films My Sweet Satan (1994) and Archive Emitica as a Nothing Shocking All-nighter.

neutral · AI labelView post →i have a really big pet peeve for people who can't distinguish 'good comedy-horror movie that is intentionally funny' from 'so bad it's good' Dead-Alive/Braindead is not 'so bad it's good' its just really fucking good and has an insane amount of effective line and sight gags
positive · AI labelView post →Peter Jackson acting like a giant kid with a miniature set from his film BRAINDEAD (1992). 📸 Unknown.
neutral · AI labelView post →Peter Jackson made Braindead/Dead Alive.. I just don’t think that’s acknowledged enough. Personally, I think it’s his best film.
positive · AI labelView post →Evolution of a YouTube thumbnail. Part 1: Inspiration. When I was a kid I saw this movie poster for a Peter Jackson film called Braindead (Dead Alive in North America). I wanted to try something like that for a thumbnail for a bootleg GBA cart review video.

neutral · AI labelView post →My mount Rushmore of Zombie movies. Zombi 2, Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later. Each film is so vastly different and important to the zombie genre as a whole. Honourable mention to Braindead, Dawn of the Dead and House By the Cemetery.

neutral · AI labelView post →If being a LORD OF THE RINGS superfan is what netted Stephen Colbert the gig to write a new movie in the franchise, please someone remind Peter Jackson how very much I love BRAINDEAD (aka DEAD ALIVE).
positive · AI labelView post →Every time another makeup-slathered bruise appears on him, it makes me think back to Peter Jackson’s early movie “Dead Alive” (a.k.a. “Braindead”) If ya know … ya get it
neutral · AI labelView post →Bit late for a movie post but I've been busy... gaming lol 🎮 #NW Braindead (1992) aka Dead Alive 🎥 dir. Peter Jackson Probably my favourite comfort movie of all time! Not that I need comforting just need a break from roaming the post apocalyptic, unrelenting wastelands of futuristic Australia 😁✌🏻
positive · AI labelView post →Just found out about Brazilian horror film MAR NEGRO (DARK SEA) (2013), which appears to be Shadow Over Innsmouth meets Peter Jackson's Braindead!? Trying to find a good copy, will report back!
neutral · AI labelView post →PATREON PEEPS - Our next film will be Peter Jackson's very funny, gory, splatstick comedy, BRAINDEAD, and you can read more about it here: www.patreon.com/posts/our-ne...
neutral · AI labelView post →This weekend, I finally saw THE SUBSTANCE! It is both a stylish, delightful horror film and a worthy successor to Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD (one of my favorites). The very zany ending brought a bit of light to what could have been a very grim flick.
positive · AI labelView post →This guy is actually the most disgusting thing about the movie so far. #Riffotronic #DeadAlive #BrainDead
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the movie Braindead for the first time and these characters were the highlight -
positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Here are my #LastFourWatched. Pretty much a banger week for film for me. - Predator - X2: X-Men United - Braindead (aka Dead Alive) - Bride of the Re-Animator
positive · AI labelView post →What is one of your ultimate comfort movies? Braindead (Peter Jackson/1992) Just so damn good, the best splatstick film next to Evil Dead 2!
positive · AI labelView post →The best movies i have seen in my life for me personally were probably: - Sharknado (all of them) because of their absurdity. It's something to laugh at, and they do not aspire to be anything else, which is something we all need from time to time, while it is seldom provided. Honorable mention for anything Monty Python. - Nolan's Batman movies, because they capture the atmosphere Batman Movies deserve perfectly (I am not a fan of his later stuff tho. Dunkirk was fine but somewhat boring…
neutral · AI labelView post →My late wife had never read the Lord of the Rings before we saw Fellowship. Nope, she was there because it was the new film by the creator of Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners…and Braindead. I can't express how much I miss her.
neutral · AI labelView post →like the guy who directed Braindead said "hey, i know that high fantasy has never made for a successful movie but can you cut us hundreds of millions of dollars to make one in a country with almost no film industry. can i get a trilogy deal and shoot them back to back before the first one releases"
neutral · AI labelView post →I worry I went too far choosing Dead Alive/Braindead for the final film of Graveyard Shift, a few people had to step out into the lobby because they felt like throwing up at 6 AM lol
neutral · AI labelView post →We are #NowWatching Braindead (aka Dead Alive) (1992) directed by Peter Jackson. This is a rewatch. I learned my lesson from last time and didn't have a big bowl of spaghetti before watching this time. (oh my) I kick ass for the lord! #filmsky #horrorsky

neutral · AI labelView post →This was Peter Jackson's first movie, homegrown and shot whenever the time was available. I just smile wickedly every time I think of the poster and the film itself, which kicked off a trio of splatter-comic gems (MEET THE FEEBLES and BRAINDEAD/DEAD-ALIVE). BAD TASTE (1987).

neutral · AI labelView post →it still astonishes me that a film series like The Lord of the Rings was ever produced, like the sheer scale of it, but also, what film out of Peter Jackson’s career (at that point) convinced the studio he could pull it off, Braindead?
neutral · AI labelView post →What's your weirdest comfort movie? I've got to go with Peter Jackson's epic 1992 splatstick film, "Braindead" (retitled "Dead Alive" in the States)! It's just so over the top gory and funny, it makes me smile.

positive · AI labelView post →Braindead is a great movie, but it's also one where my experience of it changed between watching as a teen & watching as an adult. When I came back years later, I was like... oh. This is a black comedy about caring for a parent with dementia.

neutral · AI labelView post →Braindead, when Peter Jackson made a romantic comedy that turns into a zombie movie, 12 whole years before Edgar Wright did it with Shaun Of The Dead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Showed some friends Dead Alive aka Braindead for bad movie night, and, uh, well, I'm sorry.
negative · AI labelView post →I am watching Braindead / Evil Dead for the first time and this movie is the most amazing piece of horror comedy trash I’ve ever seen. 10/10 recommend
positive · AI labelView post →OCTOBER MOVIE THREAD! Day 1: Braindead/Dead Alive (1992) Honestly pretty brilliant and hysterical. The effects work on the zombies and various monsters was AMAZING, like seriously top notch. Just fun as hell. 9/10
