11. Dead Alive (1992)
Long before he helmed the popular Lord of the Rings trilogy, New Zealand director Peter Jackson served up a zombie comedy that today enjoys a wide cult following. The story follows hapless Lionel Cosgrove (Timothy Balme), who lives with his overbearing and insufferable mother Vera (Elizabeth Moody). When momma Vera decides to meddle with her son's relationship with his girlfriend Paquita, she ends up bitten by a rare monkey, gradually dying and turning into a zombie.
The movie is said to be one of the bloodiest of all time, measured in the amount of stage blood used during production. The final scene alone reportedly required 300 liters of fake blood.
