Quick Hit

Dead Alive feels like a chaos-heavy horror comedy—goopy, outrageous, with atmosphere doing half the killing.

Full Take

Dead Alive leans hard into comedy horror energy, and Peter Jackson keeps the tone goopy without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. The rough edges are part of the charm.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
