Viewing Notes

April Re-Watch Film: Dead Alive (1993 - US). Really needed to watch this again as that epic massacre scene has grown fuzzy over the years. My fondest memory of this film is when my little brother & I rented the VHS and he started watching it without me but as soon as the rat monkey appears started screaming at me to come over, “COME HERE! COME HERE! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!”

Really surprised this film hasn’t gotten a better release treatment (I think this is one of the first DVDs I ever bought - nearly 12 years ago! Don’t you think it’s time for an upgrade release? Someone? Anyone?).
