Braindead

Some things won't stay down... even after they die.

A timid New Zealand teenager's life unravels when his overbearing mother is bitten by a mysterious creature and begins her gruesome transformation into the undead. Bound by filial duty and horrified fascination, he descends into a nightmare of escalating gore and absurdist dread. Peter Jackson's love letter to splatter cinema explodes with stomach-churning practical effects, pitch-black humour, and an unforgettable finale. What emerges is not mere shock, but a darkly tender meditation on maternal possession and the cost of devotion.
