best zombie movie ever..

Not sure who saw this and thought Jackson would be perfect for Lord of the Rings though..

Oh yeah, I often thought of that after the first LOTR movie. What leap of faith huh? New Line must have been desperately at the end of rope. It's a shame what's gone down b/w them and Jackson over the Hobbit.

Zombies bleed?

In North America it has been titled "Dead Alive", or it least it had been when I bought the movie about ten years ago. It's my second favorite bit from any Peter Jackson movie. The first being the Sodomy Song from Meet the Feebles (look it up on youtube) and the "I likes 'em when they lay still like that" bit from frighteners.

Thanks Myn, I didn't realize that was what Dead Alive was 'til now, I'd only seen the version a friend of mine showed me, and that was titled Braindead. So much for my knowledge of pop culture...I'll add it to the info, though.

He got Lord of the Rings based on "Heaven's Creatures" and "The Frighteners".
