Dead Alive

Here’s a chance to enjoy Peter Jackson’s Kiwi roots in red-blooded, low-budget, Raimi-style horror. Also known as Brain Dead, this 1992 splatter fest asks the timeless question of what a loyal son should do when his mother turns into a flesh-eating zombie. Well, pick up a power lawn mower for one thing. It's a perfect prelude to Halloween. (R) BRIAN MILLER
