Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Woodyanders Here we go again: A motley assortment of colorful characters stumble across an abandoned fishing lodge in the middle of nowhere in the woods of Hicksville, USA. The group find themselves in considerable jeopardy from a zombie outbreak caused by a parasitic alien goo. Okay, so the story is far from original, but fortunately director Kevin S. Tenney (who blessed us with "Witchboard" and "Night of the Demons" back in the 80's) and writer Dale Gelineau ably capture both the blithely trashy feeling of pure fun and the infectiously loopy vitality of vintage 80's down'n'dirty low-budget indie fright fare: We've got a constant zippy pace, huge gobs of gloriously excessive over-the-top graphic gore, a wickedly funny sense of deliciously irreverent humor (the dialogue in particular is quite witty and often hilariously profane), lively and exciting zombie attack set pieces, an engaging tongue-in-cheek tone, affectionate nods to such 80's cult faves as "The Evil Dead" and "Return of the Living Dead," funky special effects, and, naturally, a generous sprinkling of tasty gratuitous female nudity. Moreover, the game cast have a field day with the wacky material, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Joshua Benton as likable smartaleck Clarence Singer, Sarah Grant Brendecke as the sassy Sherry Morgan, David Crane as vicious psycho hoodlum Bob Jules, Michelle Tomlinson as scrappy and abrasive lesbian Claudia Bush, Andy Forrest as the smarmy and cowardly Reverend Farnsworth, Cristina Tibera as foxy bimbo Amy Smoots, and Elizabeth Lambert as the ditsy Candy. Noted Grade B flick director Jim Wynorski has a nifty sizable supporting role as a good ol' boy sheriff. The snazzy cinematography by Alex Simon and Patrick McGowan boasts plenty of clever scene transitions. Kudos are also in order for Dennis Michael Tenney's twangy and dynamic score and the gnarly old school practical make-up f/x. A total schlocky hoot.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Actually "Brain Dead" was a nice surprise for a zombie movie that doesn't brandish a several million dollar Hollywood budget. Sure the story here doesn't offer anything new to the zombie genre, and actually borrows heavily from the classic horror movie "The Evil Dead".The story is about a meteor striking Earth, and amazingly enough strikes through the forehead of a fisherman. The meteor, of course, is carrying some alien parasite which takes over the body of the fisherman and instantaneously turns him into a mutant zombie-like creature. Two convicts escape from the local police and seek shelter in a remote cabin. Two hiking women lost in the woods seek shelter in the cabin. And a lusty televangelist and one of his congregation girls seek shelter in the cabin. These unlikely destinies come together and band together for surviving the night, as ravenous space mutant-zombies are stalking the dark woods.Yeah, fairly average story here, and actually, the movie wasn't carried by the plot of the story. "Brain Dead" was carried by the rather outstanding acting performances by almost every single actor and actress and the gory special effects.The characters in the movie were also pretty good, sure they were stereotypical in their own way, but they were also very memorable and unique in their own way. Each character brought something nice to the story."Brain Dead" has a good amount of blood and gore, most likely even enough to keep most gorehounds happy. I was satisfied with the amount of mayhem, and the effects were actually nicely made.If you expect a zombie movie, which I did, you might be a bit disappointed, as it is not actual stereotypical zombies as in many other movies, but it is more like mutated space-zombies, in lack of better words. But despite that fact, then "Brain Dead" was actually a rather enjoyable movie on almost every front.Lots of blood, gore and laughs, just lacking actual zombies.

trashgang It was a bit of a hard to get, had to buy it in Hong Kong of all places but it was worth buying. Have seen the trailer it already caught me. But sometimes trailers could mislead you showing already the best parts, well, this one have some other beauties to shown beyond the trailer. For example, every girl in the movie has a opportunity to shown their mountain dews. And it isn't gratuitous! It never distract you from the movie and that's already a fine treat. And the storyline is so great, the acting is for an independent excellent. And I thought to recognize Michelle Tomlinson from somewhere. Well, it's from the turkey, The Cellar Door but here she gives a great performance. The special effects are great too, the head blast, the hand through the head, didn't spoil the story by that, it's in the trailer you morons! And don't let us forget the humor throughout the movie. You will have it all, T&A, gore, humor, and suspense. A worth seeing.

adrian-155 I just finished watching this movie at the Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, Ky. It's a pretty damn good little film. While it's not ground breaking in any way, it's a lot of fun and brings T & A back to horror films where it belongs. Back in the 80's breasts and horror went hand in hand, sadly that's no longer so except for fine films like this one. The biggest problem I think this film will have in finding an audience is the name since there are already at least two other films in the genre that go by the same title. Hopeful I'll be able to pick it up on DVD soon. Begin SpoilerBy the way, beware that space amoebas hide in the strangest places.End Spoiler
