“ **I** kick ass for the **Lord**!”

I had seen the VHS of the American release of Dead Alive a few years ago and remembered it as being THE goriest thing I had ever seen (and terribly funny).  
Remarkably, the DVD, unless I’m mistaken or simply am getting older and more sensitive, is even more so. Wow.  
For example, I don’t remember the head in the food processor from the version I’d seen before. . . that might have just been one of the points at which I was cringing away or otherwise hiding.  
Wow.  
I think I’m traumatised. How great!  
Yeah. . . it’s just. . . you know. Indescribable.

Oh, has anyone seen Peter Jackson’s thing from when he was like 15, The Valley, 1976? Reports?

Definitely one of the most creative uses of a lawnmower - ever.
