Braindead (1992)
Much-loved cult classic proves to live up to its reputation.
29 October 2004
'Braindead' does indeed live up to its reputation as a great film, but possibly for the wrong reasons. The reputation the film is often given is that supposedly it's the goriest film of all-time, but I would hardly call this one nasty. There is some extreme gore in this film, but it isn't exactly mallicious. This is best looked at as a bit of a way-out black comedy.

The film is also one of the best to ever come out of New Zealand. Some of the New Zealand cultural references are absolutely wonderful and another reason why this film is just so great.

Indeed see this film, hopefully you can enjoy it for not just the gore, and treat the gore as just an added bonus!
