If this doesn't get you to like Peter Jackson, then nothing will, and you are a bad person for it. Were I not so desensitized, this would probably be the most gruesomely, horrifyingly hilarious thing I'd ever seen, but I can safely just call it hilarious. And so fucking creative, too! Some of the carnage on display here is absolutely mindblowing. The man knows his way around a set-piece and a low budget; is it any wonder that, with millions of dollars under his belt, he can produce a multiple Oscar winner?
The ending is so bombastic that the movie actually overdoses on it; I was ready for it to end in the last ten minutes, personally. But the rest of this is sheer gold. Absolutely a must-watch for any horror fan. -

Lionel Cosgrove: They're not dead exactly, they're just... sort of rotting.
Before Peter Jackson got very famous and much acclaim for those hobbit movies, he was known as a cult horror movie director. He made some very strange films. This is one of them.
This film IS the Goriest Movie Ever, no joke, take that how you want. What makes it even more fun is how ridiculously over the top this movie goes, while keeping the core of this movie centered on a romantic comedy between the two adorable leads.
Zoo Keeper: Story goes, these great big rats come scuttling off the slave ships and raped all the little tree monkeys
It starts out the way a ridiculous movie should. A Sumatran Rat Monkey is brought over from Skull Island to the local zoo in New Zealand. Meanwhile we meet the local shop girl, Paquita, the nervous young man, Lionel, and his dominating mum. Soon Paquita and Lionel go on a date, much to mum's despair. She follows them to the zoo only to get bitten by the rat monkey. Oh I hate it when that happens.
This little bite leads to bad times for everyone involved, but it also gives Lionel the kind of shift in his life that he needs.
Uncle Les: Is that the one with the donkey and the chambermaid?
While this is a romantic comedy at heart, make no mistake, once this movie gets going on the crazy, it doesn't stop. All kinds of fluids come from everywhere in extremely inventive ways. Jackson is firing on all cylinders here and despite the gore factor he has made a very good film, with characters that embrace how ridiculous the situations become and stick with it. In particular, Timothy Balme as Lionel proves to be New Zealand's Bruce Cambell, as he must balance physical comedy with romantic lead and hero zombie killer.
This is an outrageous, over-the-top gore fest, that is very funny and pure entertainment at its bloody best.
Paquita Maria Sanchez: Your mother ate my dog!
Lionel Cosgrove: Not all of it. -

One of the goriest films I've seen. Seriously, this movie's over-the-top bloody rampage is wickedly awesome. The most fun I've had since "The Evil Dead!" And it features the cutest baby ever to appear on celluloid (Apart from the one from "Eraserhead," of course).

The best gore film ever made. The violence is graphic and with a sense of humor. Nuff said!

This is such a classic. I watched it so many times I feared the tape would fall apart. I always screen it to new friends on movie nights, cause you just HAVE to share the awesomness. ''I'll kick ass for the Lord!!'' lol best line ever.
