To Vera’s dismay, Lionel falls in love with a shopkeeper’s daughter, Paquita. Lionel Cosgrove lives with his domineering mother, Vera. The captured rat-monkey is shipped to Wellington Zoo in New Zealand. Finally, they see a set of bloody scratches on Stewart’s forehead and kill him. A bite mark is then seen on his left arm, which results in the removal of that limb. Seeing the mark of the monkey’s bite on his right hand, Stewart’s men hold down the explorer and amputate it. They escape to a waiting jeep, but Stewart gets bitten by the Rat-Monkey. The “Sumatran Rat-Monkey” is a hybrid creature that, “according to legend”, resulted from the rape of tree monkeys on Skull Island by plague-carrying rats. The movie opens on Skull Island when Stewart, an explorer returning from the depths of the island with his team, is carrying a rat-monkey in a cage and is stopped by fierce warrior natives that demand the return of the monkey. It became apparent that during the late 80s and early to mid-90s Jackson primarily directed horror/comedy movies, most notably “Bad Taste” (1987) “Braindead” (1992) and “The Frighteners” (1996). After the huge success of The Lord Of The Rings, attention was drawn to some of Jackson’s earlier directorial attempts. Much of the attention that the movie started to attract was due to the fact that Braindead is directed and co-written by none other than Peter Jackson, yes that Peter Jackson. Over the years this movie had garnered a rather large cult following and is generally positively received amongst critics. In fact, 300 litres of blood (5 gallons per second) were used in the final scene alone but is this simply a gore fest with no substance? Let’s have a look at Braindead and find out. Braindead or Dead Alive which is the name it was given with its release in North America is widely considered to be the bloodiest movie ever made.
