I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched Peter Jackson's 1992 film Braindead, or Dead Alive as it was known outside of New Zealand. It starts with a zoologist capturing a Sumatran rat-monkey hybrid out of Skull Island. I'm glad I didn't miss the title card announcing it takes place in 1957 as it helps explain how the characters don't question what they're seeing more. I found the scene with the zoologist explaining to the local tribes that he has a treaty which to them was a piece of paper, only to have to bring out a machine gun to make his point. The beginning sets the stage that the ride is going to be a little silly. Once the zombie portion starts Braindead gets really gory, but it's competently made. The hijinks are top-notch. It's just a charming and delightful film.
