Lionel, aided by Paquita's grandmother's lucky talisman and having learned that his mother murdered his father, rampages with a motor mower. The last zombie to dispatch is Mum, even more grotesque than before. With the house alight in a purging fire Lionel and Paquita stroll away together. B raindead is a brilliantly designed and executed comedy splatter, solemnly introduced by Queen Elizabeth, as in Jackson's Bad Taste . Models make up many of the period street scenes.
Humour comes in visual and verbal gags.
The carnage at Uncle Les's party is the most absurd series of slapstick sequences, but, going on as long as it does, becomes repetitive. Performances are excellent, with Peter Jackson's cameo as a crazed undertaker's assistant a highlight.
