Dead Alive (Braindead) review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/06/12
This would have been better with improved character development and skilled acting. The gore factor is high from the very start. A poor version of Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead, the special effects were not as impressive and had ludicrous scenes at times. Lionel is not an interesting protagonist and really horrible editing was evident. The fighting priest was action packed and funny. Plot was all over the place and screenplay wasn't polished. "Lionel's relative exclaims: "Blood is thicker than water Lionel." The greed and romantic angle seems to be presented in the latter portion of the film. Acting of the characters were aweful that that it was enough reason to laugh about it. Dead Alive (Braindead) provided a few laughs and horrific sequences despite its lackluster direction.
