Hier haben Sie noch einmal die Möglichkeit disen Kult-Klassiker von Peter Jackson zu erwerben. Der neuseeländiche Regisseur Peter Jackson wurde vor seinem Erfolg mit "Der Herr der Ringe" mitz diesem Kultstreifen bekannt, das als der Film mit dem grössten Kunstblutverbrauch aller Zeiten gilt. Lionels Mum ist herrsüchtig. Lionels Mum ist streng. Lionels Mum geht über Leichen. Umso empörter ist sie, als sie ihrem Sohn dabei erwischt, wie er mit der hübschen Verkäuferin Paquita ausgeht. Doch als sie ihm nachstellt., geschieht ein Unglück: sie wird von einem seltenen Rattenaffen gebissen und macht danach einige unheimliche Veränderungen durch. Zu Mums Gehässigkeit gesellt sich nun auch noch der Hunger nach Fleich von Lebenden - und der arme Lionel hat alle Hände voll zu tun, die immer größer werdende Schar Untoter in Schach zu halten. Er würde ja zum Rasenmäher greigen, wäre da nhicht ein moralischer Konflikt, gegen § 131 des Gesetzes.... (Verleiher-Text)

Meine platonische Liebe aus der Kindheit, der witzigste oder zweitwitzigste Film, den ich in meinem Leben gesehen habe. Und zufälligerweise auch der blutigste. Braindead - Dead Alive ist wie eine 50-jährige geile Nonne, die ihre Jungfräulichkeit mit Rocco Siffredi verliert – es ist eine ultimative Dekadenz und der perverseste Humor. Ich habe eine Haustier-Allergie, aber ein Tier möchte ich unbedingt zu Hause haben – den Rattenaffen aus Sumatra. Und Pudding wird mir nie mehr so wie bisher schmecken.

Do you want to know how to safely cut your way through a horde of zombies with the help of a lawnmower? Peter Jackson will give you detailed instructions, they might be useful some day. And please don't overlook the Master himself in a small role. Yes, the freak in the morgue, the little, goofy, bespectacled freak who gets a dead body exploding on a table :)

There was a time when I was in love with Peter Jackson and had great fun with Braindead, but when I put it on again today it failed to match my flawless memories. It is very bloody and insane, with a lot of memorable funny scenes, but the overall impression… I don’t know, it’s like an amusement park. Over-the-top characters, over-the-top action, all intentional, of course, but I’ve already learned to like different stuff. I’m bringing the original five stars down, and I’m not sure whether four or three.

I will forever wonder how is it possible that Peter Jackson at the beginning of the nineties filmed the bloodiest and most disgusting movie of all times, just to excel the following year with the most epic fantasy movie ever. If nothing else, he is truly the genius of our time. However, Braindead is not a movie I would gladly remember again and again. Sure, filmmaking is fun, and it involves a range of incredibly crazy ideas. Just that the interpretation is exactly what I would imagine it to be. I’m glad I’ve seen it and at the same time I’m glad it’s over.

Splatter-Freud oder warum junge Männer dunkle Geheimnisse und Probleme mit der Lust haben und ihre Mütter aus den Zimmern im oberen Geschoss in den Keller ziehen. Ein richtig pathologischer Film. Und schlau.

Jackson's LOTR is a film graduation for me, but I failed to understand Peter's Roots. Only impressions of pudding, clumsy actors, and a sense of bewilderment at the end credits remain. As a parody of horror, Braindead lacks humor, and as a pure horror, it loses in atmosphere. In short, it's a beginner's treat that completely missed me.

So, this is carnage, total carnage and nothing but carnage. I didn't have quite the fun I was expecting from some of the reviews, but I can say for sure that if there are any films that can be described as exceptional, unforgettable or unrepeatable, one of them is the disgusting, but in its own way terribly charming and captivating Braindead. Peter Jackson wasn't afraid of anything at the beginning of his career, and where other horror directors would put the brakes on and tease the viewer's imagination, he, on the contrary, stomps on the gas with all his might, perhaps teasing the viewer's stomach juices. His Braindead is simply an indescribable spectacle, with a well-developed humorous side, which, combined with a likeable main character, runs like clockwork from the beginning, and with an absolutely incredible last act that completely rewrote the history of all brutal and bloody films and raised the bar to an unsurpassed level in this respect. Blood spurts, limbs fly and ribcages are torn from bodies, but the viewer laughs, laughs and keeps laughing... How does Jackson do it? 4.5*

An old fortune teller's magical talisman carves its way through the protagonist's mother's belly, where she has trapped her son so he won't run off with his immigrant love. Freud takes it on the ass in a big way at the end, and rightly so. For a story that was no doubt originally intended to be just a thread through an incredible compilation of death and mutilation, it really goes the distance. And I suspect Frank Walsh's writing hand behind it, adding a certain mischievous woman's touch to the scripts of this enthusiastic nutcase. Just as it was the first time as a young adolescent, and still is now, the greatest satisfaction for me is not the lawnmower dance, but the very final gasp after the protagonist is free of the reins of a basement full of corpses and the emotional blackmail of his rotting mother. I also kept falling under my seat laughing during the scene at the children's park.

This is simply a legend. For me, the best horror comedy I have ever seen. Every time I watch it, I am thrilled. This is simply something unforgettable. When I saw it for the first time a while ago, it imprinted on my memory so deeply that I still can't forget it. And it will never happen. Peter Jackson was still indulging in stop motion animation at that time. Where are those times? And the dark humor... Simply magnificent. This is worth always remembering. I don't understand how this movie couldn't have been chosen for the book 101 Horrors You Must See Before You Die.

At times really unreal butchery, often even maybe 10 minutes without a break just insane carnage, blood, slime, and other streams of filth of various kinds.)) However, the style is undeniable, as well as some really funny moments (the scene at the table comes to mind right now – mom vs. kids :)) and I especially admire Peter Jackson for being able to film it like that and having the courage to let it out like that. And until recently I thought Raimi was the biggest pervert in this genre :))))

So was ist doch ekelhaft. Ich nahm an, dass es sich um ein Gemetzel handeln würde, aber so ein Niveau hätte ich von Peter Jackson in meinen kühnsten Träumen nicht erwartet. Dank der einfallsreichen Methoden des Zerstückelns menschlicher Körper ist dieser Film echt eine Seltenheit, bei der man einfach nur staunt, wie so etwas in die Kinos gelangen konnte. Zugegeben, in dieser Hinsicht ist es wahrlich ein unvergesslicher Film. Ansonsten bietet der Film in Bezug auf Humor und Geschichte nichts anderes als eskalierende Gemetzel, und ich persönlich gehöre (Gott sei Dank) nicht zu den Menschen, die sich an so was richtig erfreuen können.
