Title: Don't be fooled by the uncut terminology used on this DVD
Review: Yes, this is a great film. However I would reccomend procuring a copy of the original NZ release entitled Braindead. The fact is I have both a VHS of Braindead and the so called uncut DVD Dead Alive. Yet the DVD is not only cut, but sceenes re-edited with terrible ill effect on the film.Braindead is the version you want, it helps make the film more coherent, as well as keep things more lively. Some of the jokes which seemed lacking were due to the sceen juxtaposition in the DVD and worse yet the R rated version.I got my copy of Braindead from Blacketst heart which has unfortunately gone under. The only way I know of to get this title is to order overseas from NZ or get the Japanese laserdisc.Warning - don't be fooled by the unrated terminology so blatantly stamped on the DVD - it is edited, and it irks me to no end!
