Braindead is a horror directed by Peter Jackson. Its about a young spanish girl called Paquita who is looking for romance and believes that the young man who comes into the shop she works in everyday is the one, until one day her grandmother gets her tarith cards out and reads her future. She tells her that her destiny will be found by a star. Later that day a young boy called Lionel comes in and picks a pencil out of the pot. The pot tips over and a star is made from the pencils. Therefore she believes he is the one. Going straight at him he is nervous and doesn't no what to say. So they talk about her dog. They end up talking about the zoo and she says yes please to wanting to go. However while at the zoo Lionel's mother follows them however she slips on rubbish and gets bitten by a rat monkey. She then turns into a monster. This monster then goes killing other and creating more monsters. You will have to watch the film to find out the rest.

I found that the typical blonde brown haired girl thing happened. I enjoyed the begining however i felt that the end went on to much and got boring. I felt alot of the effects were good for when it was made. However if you watch it now it would seem quiet old. This film is rated a 18 however i felt that 18 was to high as it wasnt a scary film. It was quiet gory but not scary. I also found that some parts were unintentionaly funny.
