A climatic rebirth-by-chainsaw scene almost makes it all worthwhile, though you may have had to visit the bathroom once or twice in the wait.

I miss Peter Jackson in his ultra low-budget horror mode. He always looked like he was having fun. Not half as good as Dead Alive, but still a hoot.

Jackson does it all in this movie: writes, directs, stars, produces, and designs the makeup.

Divertido em seu humor descompromissado, este trash faz rir, mas no oferece o menor indcio do virtuoso cineasta que Jackson se tornaria.

Jun 03, 2016I wonder if Peter Jackson will ever go back to making films like this? Not saying it would necessarily be a good thing if he did, but I am curious to see if he ever will.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Apr 10, 2016Not hysterical and priceless as Braindead but still a very funny low-budget trashy fun with nice gore and makeup effects, even though it is also a bit hard to overlook the movie's disjointed structure (there was never a script, and things seem to happen mostly randomly).Carlos M Super Reviewer

Nov 23, 2013Very random and gory didn't expect it to as good or as funny, Worth watching if you like OTT gore and silliness, Or the fact we get to see a young Peter Jackson lose the plot and kill aliens with a chainsaw.Jamie C Super Reviewer
