Braindead
"Some things won't stay down... even after they die."
When a Sumatran rat-monkey bites Lionel Cosgrove's mother, she's transformed into a zombie and begins killing (and transforming) the entire town while Lionel races to keep things under control.
Directed by Peter Jackson
Written by: Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson, Stephen Sinclair
Produced by Jim Booth
