Body Horror July nears its conclusion with a look at a film that helped launch the career of one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time even if it features some of the most creative gore in cinema history: Dead Alive. Directed by Peter Jackson, it follows the shy Lionel who falls in love with gorgeous Paquita only to find that his overbearing mother has become an undead ghoul and is attempting to thwart their love even from the grave. It's an inventively gory, over-the-top bloodfest that utilizes every inch of the human body in disgustingly hilarious fashion with a final act that is near bloody perfection. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to chat about Jackson's filmography before and since, the climax of the film, and the interesting connection to Sam Raimi.
