Dead/Alive | Braindead (1992): Peter Jackson's Zombie Splatter Masterpiece

"Braindead," also known as "Dead/Alive," is a horror-comedy film directed by Peter Jackson and released in 1992. The story follows Lionel Cosgrove, a timid young man living with his overbearing mother in a small New Zealand town.

When Lionel's mother is bitten by a Sumatran Rat-Monkey, she quickly deteriorates and transforms into a ravenous zombie. As the infection spreads, Lionel is forced to keep his undead mother hidden in the basement while attempting to manage her insatiable hunger for human flesh.

Things take a turn for the worse when a series of mishaps leads to a chaotic outbreak of zombies in the town. Lionel, aided by a few eccentric allies, must battle hordes of the undead while desperately trying to keep his mother's secret hidden from the outside world.

As the body count rises and the situation spirals out of control, Lionel finds himself caught in a gory and outrageous struggle for survival. With each passing moment, the line between the living and the dead blurs, leading to a climactic and blood-soaked showdown.

"Braindead" is known for its over-the-top gore, dark humor, and imaginative use of practical effects. It has since gained a cult following for its inventive and outrageous take on the zombie genre, showcasing Peter Jackson's early talent for blending horror and comedy.
