If you have never seen this movie, see this movie. If gory, gory movies make you queasy, maybe you should not see this movie. If you love comedies, you should see this movie. If you like stories wherein repressed family psychodrama explodes all over the screen, definitely see this movie. If you don't want to take my word for it, ask Matt Weertz. He has seen this movie. I have seen this movie about 50 times and I never get tired of it. It is one of Peter Jackson's finest works.

Yes, see that movie. It really is good.
I think I need to see this movie.
I never want to see it. I love comedies, I love family psychodrama, but I do not have the guts for gory gory gory horror.
I love the progression of wanting-to-see-it-ness in the first three comments.
Diana--it's gory, but I don't think it's like slasher gory. I think you'd like it.
It's not a "serious" movie; that is, the movie doesn't take itself that seriously on the surface. The gore is gore that you can laugh at. If you want a movie that undercuts its own violence with hilarity, this is it. And there's subtext too! How many zombie movies have depth that isn't hokey and obvious?
Ha! I watched it again last night!
The repressed family psychodrama explosions sold me. I'm totally going to see it.
