Dead Alive (1992)
Directed by Peter Jackson
Quick Hit
Dead Alive feels like a chaos-heavy horror comedyâgoopy, 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.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
I actually agree with this take. Itâs not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

Thereâs a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
Iâm in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didnât fully connect.
