Dead Alive aka Braindead

I have never seen this movie although it received awesome reviews. I became interested so I watched the trailer it looks extremely stupid. Is this movie really that great, and what makes it as good as people make it out to be. It looks like a low-budget with cheap effects. Someone please explain the fascination with this so I know whether I should rent it or not.

It is a great film, totally over the top and mind blowingly gory. You really should see it as you won't regret it.

That is the fascination - if you dont appreciate low budget horror, you wont find much to like here.

IMO, it's a brilliantly funny, obscenely gory splatterfest, and a damn good time. If you're not into that...I'm sorry, but you wont like it much.
