Brain Dead (2007)

I don't hate this movie, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again. It starts off with a boatload of promise but ends limping to the finish line. "Brain Dead" steals the title from one of the greatest gore movies ever, Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead" and then rips off the plot device to "Night of the Creeps" and all is well and good initially. It has witty, clever dialog, it pours a bucket of big breasts and bush on you, and splashes you with sweet, sweet bloody, brain-popping gore. Then the plot falls asleep on you. The main problem is, besides from the mostly poor acting,the pacing falls to pieces in the middle and I found it becoming boring. It quickly becomes straight-to-video swiss cheese plot and by then the third act has shriveled up and can't muster enough of a inspired effort to pull this out of the depths of mediocrity. Still...I recommend this as a one shot, been there done that, filled out my zombie quota for the week, type of movie. I just wouldn't recommend buying it.

I watched Brain Dead late one evening on the Horror Channel, not expecting to much. The film helped kill a few hours and that was about it, it clearly comes under the category of it's so bad its 'good' I use the word 'good' loosely.Plot: We see three couples, two prisoners, two women with a weird lesbian undertone and the Reverend Farnsworth and his young disciple 'Candy' who all end up in a cabin together, where they are attacked by Alien Zombies and a Weird black blob.Hot or Not: The film is clearly made on a low budget and there is nothing wrong with that, 'if' the film is made correctly. The problem here is that Brain Dead tries too hard at being funny and although on occasions it did bring a smile to my face, it seemed I the majority of the time I was laughing at how bad the film was rather than the scripted jokes. The set throughout the whole film was so obviously fake, even down to the walls within the cabin. This is no Evil Dead although it would like to be. On a positive note there is some good nude scenes for people who like that and the special effects are quite good for the budget of the film, maybe they should have toned down on the money spent on effects in order to improve the set design.Birds and the Bees:Loads of breasts and Bums on display here but nothing for the gals here.Acting: The acting in this film is very poor, although I have seen worse. Sometimes it comes across deliberate. Joshua Benton as clarence and Sarah Grant Brendecke as Sherry Morgan did OK as leads.Overall: I would only watch this film if you really have nothing else to watch or if you are a fan of low budget films as Brain Dead is better than most. However I think they showed too much interest in making it funny rather than scary, there was little balance, this is no Evil Dead!

It's a B-series Zombies' flick which mixes gore with humor, like it uses to be common in the genre.Some of the jokes are funny and some of the gore scenes too! In fact the type of gore used is not to shock you but to make you laugh.It also has some beautiful and nude girls who definitely help to sustain this movie interesting...I might say it's enjoyable and nice for gore fun but it's not a reference, not even in the genre.I score it 6/10.

It was cool to see a new movie from Kevin Tenney, director of some genre classics like Night of the Demons and Witchboard. I was excited when I saw his name on the credits, when I saw this at Rock and Shock last year. It is a fun cheesy movie with some awesome gore, but the plot and story are an exact copy of Slither and Night of the Creeps. Well, not exact, but close. It has aliens and worms and infected people, and so on. All in all, it is pretty good, but not as good as the director's previous works. In the beginning, as another person said, it has such an awesome gore scene. I hope it comes on DVD eventually. Just funny how there are a couple other movies with the same title haha.
