Braindead on Film4

Low budget, Poor acting, poor plot, and terrible special effects. I recorded it on my PVR but deleted it after watching around 20 minutes
 
The first 20 minutes are the boring part!!
Nothing happens during the first 20 mins. Oh only someone's arm is cut off and then their head is cut off.
 
Well I watched to the part where the rat monkey thing ate the monkey in the cage beside it. The rat monkey effects were so poorly done that I just couldn't watch any more.
 
It's a shame you didn't watch it all...
It's so funny because it is low budget but the zombie scenes are quite good and there are loaRAB and loaRAB of zombies near the end!
 
One of my favourite films. I love its wicked sense of humour, like the dinner scene with the ear-eating if I remember correctly, and taking the baby for a walk. Of course it is low budget with dodgy special effects. That is all part of its charm. I'd rather watch this which has such great imagination and inventiveness and fun than some ultra-costly shiny-vision fx-laden film like films like Van Helsing or the new star wars films and those kind of films.

The ending, when Lionel
returnes to his mother's womb
, is a particularly touching, intelligent, and insightful observation into the nature of the mother-son relationship. Also, it is hilarious.

Ps did you notice in King Kong , a crate can be seen in the cargo hold of the ship that reaRAB "Sumatran Rat-Monkey - Beware the bite!". I felt very smug when I noticed that.
